Additional interest in this meeting of
the Imperial council comes from the
fact that it will mark the Golden

be the fifieth session of the Imperial

arranged for the event.
Then again, notwithstanding the high
mark set by Washington last year,
Ararat temple of Kansas City, hosts
, to the Imperial council and visiting
delegations, have arranged a number of
special events for the entertainment
Of the visitors, that for color and
spectacular effects have rarely been
equailed. There will be something do
ing every minute of three days session.
In addition to the~usual Shrine pa
rades, with the bands, patrols and I'M
formed bodies of the visiting temples,
the gorgeous, spectacular pageant,
priests of Pallas" will be presented.
This pageant, which is an annual af-
fair, is to Kansas City what the Mardi
Gras is to New Orleans, and of some
what a similar nature. Floats represent
ing historical and allegorical events,
fantastically CARRIED "mummers" and
dancing girls, and music galore are,
some of the features Of the pageant.
The Shrine committee announces that
this year owing to the Imperial coun-
Gil meeting, it will be produced ON a
scale of magnificence never before at
tempted. 1t is stated that had the page
ant been produced in its entirely for
this occasion it would cost at. least,
100000.
