dreams BY day as we'll as by night,
Never before have the daily papers
carried more news Of the Shrine and
its doines, and the best part OF 1t
all. added Mr.. Steuart. is that it all
makes for the good of Washington
itself. for believe the coming Of the
Imperial Council Is going to mean
much for Washington's civic and po-
litical welfare
These men who will come along
with the representatives to the high
est council of our order are men OF
the highest moral and civic character
in their respective homes. They ex-

from the coming Of the Shrine body
is along civic and political lines,
which cannot fail to interest them II
they will but give the subject serious
thought. Almas Temple will not. de-
rive anything from the coming Of the
Imperial Council but the credit that
may come for it's entertainment while
in the city. Yet the nobles OF Almas,
