of the cabinet, and other high ofic-
ials in Washington are in the order.
Ex-President Taft himself belongs.
The order includes in its membership
in every community the best of citi-
zens and especially young men who
are progressive, militant, and always
in the forefront in community affairs.
Why Elk was Chosen.
On February 16, 1868, was born
the Order of Elks, destined to be one
of the greatest of all charitable fra
ternal orders, and early in it's history
the Elks adopted a new feature now
most highly prizes, its Americanism.
None but Americans may become
members.
The order endeavors to teach not
only the highest moral education but
to inculcate patriotism and devotion
to the country and home in it's tenets.
The Star Spangled Banner covers the
altar in every lodge room of the B. P.
o. E. and no effort, is spared to i'm.

ment. 1t initiates no religious rites,
but is not ~antagonistic to any religion
and an adjunct to all. A lodge may
be legally started only up on territory
Of the United States.
On May "a, 1868, the original com.
mittee on ritual instituted New York
Lodge No. /, with two degrees OF
members and devout elders, the rit.
u%alistic work being explained and ex
emplified.
Remarkable Growth
In less than forty years the order
has grown to 1904 lodges, 4OS,2S1
members, property worth $22,849,5 $50
and a charity list of half a million
dollars per annum.
The order has very little that is
mystic about it. 1t has the ritual OF
the average secret organization, with
all the mummery eliminated. It has
no grip or password. The faults OF
our brothers we write upon the sands;
their virtues upon the tables Of love
and memory. We do unto others as
we wish they would do unto US.
The only real secret it possesses is
it's list of persons to whom charity IL
extended. In fact, charity and good
fellowship are the bulwark of the or
der. They make the building a tenn
pie of democracy, judges, senators
business men, statesmen, tradesmen
workmen, artists, players, one and all
are on a common footing. An Elk
knows no sect. There are ministers
Of all denominations, priests and rab
bies among them.

citizen of the United States, of the
age of 21 years or more, and of good

SLEEVES MUST BE CORRECT

portanee In Fashions Ideas for
the Season.

BY their sleeves you may know
them. That has been true Of the
frocks of today.
For several years sleeves have not
been Of especial importance. Most OF
them have been cut on hmono lines
and so they were no sleeves at all, and
perhaps that is why they were not i'm
portant. But this year we have a cut
and-drled sleeve TO deal with again.
To be sure. the new evening gowns
have no sleeves. But this absence OF
sleeves is as characteristic Of the style
as any other sleeve detail would be.
The new evening bodices are cut in
two points that clasp on the shoulder
under a jeweled buckle or clasp or I'M
der an artificial flower; or else they
are cut on square and held over the
shoulders with jeweled bands or
strands Of artificial flowers.
But in the daytime the sleeve is a
regulation sleeve, set into a regulation
armhole. And II is long and rather
snug and usually reaches well over the
hand. Sometimes a bishop sleeve is
used-one full above the wrist, gath
cred into a little wristband. Some
times, too, of course, the kimono ar
rangcment of the bodice is followed
II has been brought so nearly TO per-
lection that il Is too bad TO discard IL
