1lc tHiIu ANNUAL parry O1 tue Eli
NETT Shrine Club last evening in Lib
erty theater was brilliant affair, and
the 800 or more guests from Emmett
and abroad who accepted the hospital
ity of the Mobiles Of the Mystic Shrine
enjoyed to the fullest every minute
from the grand march at $50 until
the good night waltz at the next
morning. There was never a dull
moment and the hosts were the recip-
tents of compliments on every hand.
Such scene as was presented when
the grand march was formed has
never before been seen in Emmett.
The large auditorium had been trans
formed into paradise Of wondrous
beauty by the. artistic and deft hands
of the committee on decorations and
their assistants. Streamers Of red
and yellow and green crepe paper (thet
Shriners' colors) stretched from cell
ing to wall in graceful curves and
hung down the walls to the floor, and
30 thichy were they placed that the
ceilings and walls were completely
hidden. Rows of electric lights above
and below the streamers mingled the
colors into ever-changing shades and
tints. The long rows of lights be-
meath the canopy were softened byl
red shades resembling the Shriner's |
characteristic fez. Huge electrically |
lighted emblems of the order were |
suspended here and there about the
room. To give an Oriental touch to
the scene, tent covered with bright
colored draperies was placed in one
corner, and there in its richly furnish
ed interior reclined in voluptuous ease
noble and his harem, &C. L. Gamage,
Earl Rinker and Eddie McAuley) I
while at the door stood the slave as
guard (Eldon Grayes). Upon the
stage, tables were spread and lHnAh +
was served by the Three L society. To
this beautiful picture add the humid
reds of merry and happy men and
women, the flashing of lights upon
the many shades of costumes worn
by the gentler sex as they gracefully
moved as dancers over the floor with
their escorts-w words fail to give to
Index readers more than faint idea
of the brilliance of the scene.
AS diversions from the dance pro-
gram, the Masonic quartet, composed
of C. L. Gamage, w. C. Tucker, Will
and Ralph Womack sang several songs
written by G. B. Mains for the occa- 3
sion, and the Arab chief, attended by ~
his harem and slave and the 38 mem
bers of the club in full dress suits
marched around the hall and then to
The tent, where mysterious signs were 7
given and responded to by the Arab
before retiring to his voluptuous couch =
During the evening punch was served
" the slave inside the tent.
Many from upper country towns =
we're present, among them being Mr.. n
md Mrs. Carl Brown and Mr.. and I
Ars. Joe Casper Of Mccall, L J.
'helan from his ranch in that section,
dr. and Mrs. Owen Dix Of Sweet, and Z.
theirs. The almost impossible roads in
the presence of many visi- W
ors from Boise, Nampa. Caldwell and
'ayette.

er the sun we can't do is to even 1T 81
smpt it. All we know is that they tn
ere fearfully and wonderfully made, ne
ut beautiful in the extreme and We ann
uess in the height of fashion; at
ast, that is what the Missus advised

ave taken the material contained in co
