race, women play an important part.
History records the testimony OF
many great men, some living and
others dead who attribute the source
of their success to the kind advice or
assistance and encouragement of a
mother, wife, sister or some woman
friend Mrs. S. w. Green of New
Orleans, La, the adorable wife of
Supreme Chancellor Green of the
Knights Of Pythias, has played and is
playing an important part in many
movements for the good of the race.
For more than quarter of a cen
fury Mrs. Green has gone side by
side with her distinguished husband
in the affairs of life and has contrib
uted much to his success. She pos
sesses rare business ability and tact
full qualities which make her a val
liable assistant in the affairs of Mr..
Green. She has both natural and ac-
quired ability as well as practical ex-
perience in business.
For ten years she served as clerk,
bookkeeper, cashier ard purchasing
agent for Mr.. S. w. Green in Lake
Providence, La, while he was en-
gagged in business in that town. She
was also partner in the business, be-
ing the wife of the young merchant
She was interested in him and as
sisted him long before he became
Grand Chancellor of the Pythians of
Louisiana. 1t was Mrs. Green's jealous
work and good advice which greatly
assisted Chancellor Green in his up
ward climb.
Since 1900 Mrs. Green has devoted
her time and talent in helping to build
up the Pythian Order in the state.
She is private secretary to the Su-
preme Chancellor, because most of the
time he is away from the city visiting
lodges and looking into details
throughout the country, and she is in
charge of the Office. She is well
posted on the condition Of the Order.
Every morning, when it is time to
open the Office she is there and re-
mains until closing time. She gives at
tention to every detail. She is the
banker and makes all remittances from
the Office, SO that when business
claiming the attention of the Supreme
or Grand Chancellor is to be looked
after and he is out of the city, Mrs.
Green looks after it promptly. The
Pythians and members of the Court
OF Calanthe are proud of her and the
service she is rendering to the Order.
Mrs. Green organized the club Of
members which was instituted as Star
of Calanthe Court No. a.. Order of
Calanthe, Of New Orleans, La, BY the
Grand Worthy Counsellor, Mrs. Cora
M. Allen, in February, 1902, and was
the first Worthy Counsellor Of the

Mrs. Green was the first representa-
tive of her Court to the Grand Court,
Order Of Louisiana, held at Baton
Rouge, La, in April, 1908, and was re-
elected as representative for Star Of
Calanthe Court No. ~, o. 0. G., con-
tinuously until she declined the re-
election in the year 1910.
At the meeting Of the Supreme
Court Order of Calanthe, held in
Louisville, KY, in September, 1907,
she was given the degree Of Past

nous vote Of the Supreme Court at
