o. Z. s. was celebrated in fitting
manner on Tuesday of this week.
I he Past Worthy Matrons having

years of the Chapter life large mum
Der of persons have taken tn in
itiatory degrees, some have changed
their residence, some have died and at

members.

porous, happy order, the members work
ing in fraternal spirit Of unity and
love.

PRODUCED in very becoming style by
DR.. V. A. Lacy.
Mr.. Beavis, his always happy manner

themselves possessed or more virtues

antly and gracefully eulogized that
Order.
The remainder of the evening was
spent at Masonic hall where a very i'm
pressiye memorial service was given by
the seven past worthy matrons of Yale

were held with Mr.. and Mrs. Il. j.
