Grand Worthy Mairon OF Ohio Inspecis
Amazon Chapter. O. Z. S., Thursday

One OF the most Outstanding at
fairs in the history of Amazon chap
ter, No. 80, o. E. S. was held Thurs
day evening, May Is, in the high
school auditorium when the chap
ter was inspected by the worthy
grand matron of the grand chapter
of Ohio, Lucille Miner, of Tipp
City.
Amazon chapter No. 80 has been
sipnally honored this year by having
a grand chapter officer, Opal Brum-
bach, grand marshal.
At 500 o'clock p. m, $50 as
sembled at the First Methodist
church for dinner. While they were
assembling a half hour of organ
music was presented by Wava Viii
liams, the church organist.
The tables were centered by May
poles on mirror plateaus, with the
streamers of crepe paper in the O.
az. S. colors, leading to candles in
the same shade placed in crystal
star holders. The place cards were
pink May baskets of mints with tin
sci trim in a deeper shade and the
place card fastened to the handles.
The water glass coasters were
stars in o. E. S. colors and each
table had crystal bowls of tulips in
pastel shades At each place was a
program for the evening which had
delicate shading of blue in the
white paper. The officers were
gowned in white with red carnation
shoulder corsages tied in red, white
and blue ribbon to compliment the
grand marshal, and with the ming
ling of the red dresses of the grand
officers and the other shades of eve
ming dresses, it was indeed color
full picture.
At the auditorium, lilacs, redbird
and dogwood, in enormous baskets,
were placed around the stage and
across the green front were a row
of potted pink geraniums inter
spersed with potted ferns and
palms. The officers pedestals at the
back of the stage were boxes Of red
and white geraniums.

visiting dignitaries the past matrons

first worthy matron of Amazon
chapter at its institution 54 years
