The boys surprised Worth Landon, chairman of the advisory board, with a traveling bag in appre- clation of his efforts for the chapter, and it happened to be a timely re- membrance, for it was Mr. Landon’s birthday as well as council night. The by-laws were adopted and meeting nights set for the first and third Fridays of each month at 8 o'clock, instead of 7:30 as was originally pro- posed. The boys are especially de- sirous that all Master Masons know the foregoing and they want them to be early and frequent visitors. Pentalpha Lodge, this year, will vary jta custom of installing its officers on the night of thelr election by defer-}'n, ring that ceremows to a special com- munication Monday, Jecember 12, at 7 o'clock.

Brightwood Commandery, Knights at Templar, will attend services Brightwood M. E. Church next Su day evening, November 27, assem- bling at Brightwood Masonic Temple and marching to the church, at 8th and Jefferson streets, under escort of Orient Commandery, in time for the services at 8 o'clock. Sir knights and their ladies generally are invited to the services, which, it is announced, will be somewhat out of the ordinary and of special Interest. Almas Temple of the Mystic Shrine will have its Thanksgiving cere- monial session next Monday, Novem- It will start with a business session, which will develop matters of unusual im- portance, at 2 p.m. At 3:30 sharp the spectacuiar Shrine parade will be staged and will include all the uni- formed bodies of the temple's units, as well as the nobles themselves, ar- raved as far as may be in tuxedos and the fez, but not éxcluding those in informal costume, provided the fe: is in evidence. The Almas Military Band, the Oriental Band, the Arab Patrol Drill Corps, the Drum Corps and Almas Temple Loyal Legion all will be in line and contributing to what is believed will be the lar local Shrine demonstration staged in Washington. There be floats from Walter Reed Hospital, the Glee Club and chanters and even the candidates themselves. The line of march will be announced later, but all who happen to be on Pennsylvania avenue this side of 17th street will see the full show. Distinguished Shriners from other places are ex- pected In line, including Past Imperial Potentate W. Freeland Kendrick, who is and always has been most popular with the nobles of Almas. At 6:30 p.m. the theater doors will be opened for the ceremonial insid to which the usual card and fez will be an open sesame. At 7 o'clock the masical program will begin; at 7:30 the intreduction of distinguished guests; at 7:45 the forming of the caravan and at 8 the temple will be wrapped in the nebulous shroud of mystery, continuing so until 11:30 p.m.. when a musical extravaganza staged by professionals will entertain. The class, “the potentate's own,” is expected to be very large, eclipsing, it is hoped, all former classes in num- ber. It will probably be the last dur- ing the present Shrine year, as the election will occur the latter part of December, and already hopes and as- pirations are being perturbed over the latter. Much interest has been aroused among the nobility in the reference of Potentate Lansburgh to the prob- ability of a new Shrine mosque for ‘Washington, and the coming session is _expected to develop something definite upon the subject, perhaps the preliminary steps leading to the erec- tion of the building. 1In his last pub- lic statement to the temple the poten- tate calls attention to the fact that he has deferred the mosque idea in deference to the Grand Lodge of Ma- sons and its hope to erect a new Masonic Temple. He is said to feel now that postponement lonwer is un- desirable and he will doubtless seek the vote of the temple upon the proj- ect. All necessary arrangements have been petfected for the big carnival dance to be held November 22, from 9 to 12 p.m., by Almas Temple Patrol at the Arcade. Committees have devoted much time to this affair and the results of their ef- forts will be seen next Tuesday night. James A.

The Arab Patrol drill and business meeting of this week will be held on Friday instead of Thursday, the latter day being a hollday.

Almas Temple's Immediate Benefit Associa- tion also i® exciting interest among the nobles eligible. z The Caravan Club continues to have interesting and enjoyable luncheons on Friday of each week at the Hotel ‘Washington, at which addresses of unusual interest are made by dis- tinguished speakers, but pleasant en- tertainment in other respects con- tributes to the enjoyment of the lunch- 1 ers. Fall and winter make no difference to the Almas Auto Club, under the active management of Dr. J. T. Pren- dergast, and the clubhouse at West river generally as active with the members who have a partiality for good oysters as in the summer, when the days are hot and heavy.
