Patriotic and Masonic
Groups to Participate
In G. w. u. Hospital Ball

DATRIOTIC, educational and
IL Masonic groups, not only in
Washington but from outside the
city, are showing keen interest in
the annual celebration of Wash
ington's Birthday and benefit for
George Washington University
Hospital, which is scheduled to
take place on Tuesday evening at
the Mayflower, under the direction
of the board of lady managers.
Eight members of the Fred
ericksburg Lodge OF Masons, to
which George washington be-
longed and In which he took his
three first Masonic degrees. will
come to the Capital next Monday
to take part in the festivities in
honor OF February % and will APP
pear in the pageant scene. "A
Garden Party on the Potomac"
They will impersonate distin-
guished officers on Washington
staff, who were members of this
lodge. one of the earliest in this
country, and which received it's
charter from Scotland direct.
Indeed. they will bring with
them the original charter for
Masonry in this country, the Bible
in which General Washington
signed his name and which is one
of the two most famous Masonic
Bibles in America, and a number
of other relics, which will be on ex-
hibition at the Mayflower Hotel
during the ball on Tuesday night,
guarded by two representatives of
the lodge, under the direction OF
Grand Master w. J. Ford. They
will also wear their Masonic
aprons, which may be done only
on the most important Masonic
occasions and only with special
permission. Those who will come
to the city for the occasion are
Clarence r. Howard, William X.
Goolrick, III. r. Sweetser. c. w.
Jones. RI. s. Crismond, Charles I.

The Fredericksburg Bible came
direct from England, having been
printed in 1868 by John Field,
printer to the University of Cam
bridge. The only other masonic
Bible in this country Of equal
importance is that of st. Johns
lodge in New York, on which both
Washington and Harding took
their presidential oaths.
