Masonic Affairs.

AidSOnlC AudnS.
Il desire to advise the brethren Of
Washington Centennial Lodge that we
shall have no degree work at the stated
communication scheduled for Wednesday
evening" declared James S. Mccarthy,
woTshipful master, last night. The reg
ular business of the evening will be dis
posed of as rapidly as possible, so that
the lodge may be closed little after s
o'clock and a program Of music and fun
proceeded with.
We have been so busy with degree
work for a long time that It seems de-
sirable that We turn for a brief spell,
from the serious affairs of the craft to a
little mental refreshment in the way Of
innocent fun and soul-stirring music, and
as Masons are not selfish men, the breth-
rem are urged to bring the ladies and
children along, that they, too may share
our entertainment.
Brother Past Master Steuart and
Brother Harry Huntsberry, our enter
tainment experts, have arranged a fine
program of music, Rotations, and pa
pers on timely topics. such as The Love
Bug and the Effect of Its Bite by
blond brother who has been bitten: is
not a married man in honor bound to
polish his teeth and shine his shoes as
frequently after as before marriage? by
a brother who refused to listen to advice
and remain single; and Can a man be
married and truthful at the same timer
by a Curly-haired brother who has been
twice to the matrimonial bat.
1T affords me pleasure to extend a
cordial invitation to all Master Masons
in town to be our guests on the above
occasion"
