committee was to make presentation
speeches for those members of the

presents to other members of the

Mrs. Katie Moore Fields, Grand
Vice Princess, called the attention of
the Grand Princess and stated that
as she sat thinking of the past and
looking ove the sea of familiar faces,
she missed a face that had been seen
in the Grand Temple for many years,
but today was missing. For what rea-
son she knew not, but she missed the
face and she missed the voice, and
felt that the Grand Temple as a whole
also missed this great and good WON
an. She referred to the Past Grand
Princess, Mrs. Arlivia C. Watson Nc
Kinzie. A few moments were given
to expressions regarding the absence
of Mrs. McKinzie, and the love bore
her by the Grand Temple. Mrs. A.
ID. Graves of st. Louis arose and stat
ed that she knew the Past Grand Prin-
cess was well but knew not why she
