GRAND BALL ENDS IF
 MYSTIC SHRINE
New Auditorium Is Scene Of Beauty For The Big Social Event Of Shriners' Meeting-Trips For Visi- tors

As the last strains of Home, Sweet Home" sounded throughout the great new Shrine auditorium and fhe feet of hundreds of dancers glided in the final steps of the last waHz of the grand ball early this morning, there came to an end the most elaborate series of initiatory and dedicatory ext ercises ever held in Arizona. For two days the city of Phoenix has been turned over to the nobles of the An cient Arabic Order of the Mystic Shrine, in their celebration of the 18th anniversary of ehe founding of Fl Zaribah temple and the completion of their new auditorium, which is the finest building of it's kind in Arizona and for two days the Nobles and Novices had kept possession of the town in mirth and hilarity and music and color.
 The grand ball last evening was a fitting continuation of the celebration. and the auditorium in which it was held was a worthy place for the final frolic of the Mobiles and their ladies. Recently completed and deco rated with the symbols of the Shrine, it needed little to make it a beautiful dance salon, and last evening it proved most happy setting for the merry revelers. men and women, who had taken part in the festivities of the two days. The gorgeous uniforms of the members of the bugle and drum corps and the patrol of El Zaribah temple were matched by scores of beautiful gowns worn by the wives. sistere, mothers and daughters of the Nobles. while the best music that could be obtained in the state furnished the l incentive that set hundreds of feet 1 a-tingle in the greatest social event oi the season. There wereSrefreshments too, and every other accompaniment needed to make the affair unique in the annals of fraternity in the South west-which was just what the Shris- CTS had set out to do in the beginning Entertainment and Trips
