Shrine. Mr.. Penwell is the first nom
resident potentate Of Abdallah Shrine,

with a gift that was to be
permanent and valuable expression of
their good will and pride in his newly
acquired position in the order. With
an elaborate and flowery speech, he
was given a paste jewel. WhereupOn
the cry was raised it must be taken
away from him until his dues were paid.
1t was declared that he was in debt to the
order and was not even qualified Tor
standing room at the party. He was
hustled out, but investigation proved
that he was, after all, in good standing,
and he was reinstated and given
handsomely set Shrine pin. The pre-
sentation speech was made by Mr..
Ferdinand Voiland, and Mr.. Penwell
made a speech in response.
In the receiving line were the officers
of the club and their wives. Mr.. Pen
well and his daughter. Miss Portia Pen
well, and the callers were introduced
to Mr.. Charles Moore. Mr.. "A. B. C.
butcher. president, and Mrs. butcher,
stood at the head of the line and pre-
scented the guests to Mr.. Penwell and
