ELKS' SILENT HOUR
STRUCK AT IL O'CLOCK

Hospitality, with a capital IL, was
dispensed literally last evening at
Ladies Night" of which the Annapo-
lis Lodge, No 622 were hosts. 1t
was the first Ladies Night" in some
ten years, or more. and the rare treat
ms fully enjoyed and appreciated by
the large number OF Elks' wives,
mothers. daughters, sweethearts and
friends present.
Exalted Ruler John Taylor receiv-
ed the guests, assisted by several
other Elks, all of whom accorded a
hearty welcome to their lady friends.
Attractive Decorations
The Elks' Home, attractive at all
times, was especially SO on this oc-
casion. Jardinieres of daisies and red
rambler roses were in every nook
and corner, and the rooms were es-
pecially lighted.
While the several squalls of the aft
ernoon and evening prevented the use
of the garden, which was to have
been thrown open TO the guests, the
rain and storms did not dampen their
ardor. or prevent. the large attend
ance. Everybody was good-natured,
and the fraternal spirit of Elkdom was
manifest on all sides. II was a sort
of go-as-you-please party. In the
Easement some of the ladies played
pool with their Elk friends, or bill
liards, and above stairs in the card
room all tables were filled and games
of pinochle, 500 or bridge whist, or
auction were enjoyed throughout the
evening by the card lovers.
The guests scarcely were seated
anywhere before trays of delicious
cooling and refreshing lemonade were
passed, with an abundance of cake,
and later a bounteous supply of ice
cream and cake was served.
The Elks never do anything by
halves, and Ladies' Night" was no
exception. Hospitality was the slogan
and the keynote of the evening.

her enunciation good. She was given
