Madame de Xuinfrailles, wife of the gencral of the same name, served as his aide-de valor as to receive from Bonapurte consul, a commission as g Th the holding of of adoption, Madame de Xamtrailles received an invitation to be initiated as a woman. In those cases it was customary for the brethren to open and close their Jodge before admission of the ladies. While the lodge was in session, the master was informed as to there being a superior officer infull uni- form in the ante-chamber, presumptively asa visitor. The expert inquired as to whet) the stranger possessed a diploma, where- upon the latter handed him the military mission. i in astonishment, wh upon Cuvelier, t ran of th proposed that, wof her military s, Madame de Xaintrailles should be initiated into Masonry, as a man, should she 80 desire, Her answer was; “I have been a man for my country, and will be one for my brothers.” She Submitted to the ordeal, modified as the emergency demanded, and was proclaimed in her MaSonic capacity, so that upon opening the lodge of ad heroine preserved her pluce wmong' the brethren, 1IN REVERRING to ‘“mixed funerals” Grand Master Darrah said in_his address to the Grand Lodge that ‘s Masonic procession should be styled and guarded as much as a Lodge at labor--no one being permitted to either enter or retire from 1t_without per- niission from the W.

The invitations, which were designed and executed by the pupils, were real works of art, being portraits in pencil, of Mr. Pickwick, Miss Fox, Sarah (‘nm]l. Fagan, Joey Bagstock and many other well- known characters of Dicken's faucy. The stage, which was erected for the occa- sion, though not elaborate in its settings, was tastefully adorned with pictures and curtains and placed the actors in full view of the large and appreciative audience. A commendable feature of the afternoon was the promptness with which scenes were ar- ranged, there being no waits, After the opening song Lulu McNaughton entertained thh audience with an essay on Charles Dickens, touching upon the leading characteristics of the great author. She was followed by three tiny girls, who recited the “Long Green.” The Yorkshire school was represented in all its rags and tatters. Albert Moore made a heartless Mr. Squeers, strik- ing the ragged boys with terror as he flour- ished his huge Wulkmg»lt k ‘red Van Horn, as Mr. Scrooge, told his ideas of Christmas in a spirited manner; refused his pleading nephew and abruptly dismissed the two benevolent gentlemen. After an ess: Quilp, the audience was presented with the amusing scene in which that most grotesque of char- acters surprises his friends, who areenjoying some comfort in the thought that he is drowned. Quilp appeared in the person of Frank Shoemaker, who deserves credit for the manner in which he crooked his legs, tho position evidently not _being a comfortable one for the youth. The programme pro- ceeded with essays, singing, ete., until the closing oxerciso, which was 8 med of the best known of the author's Vivian Alvison, after introducing herself as Mrs. Rouncewell, read brief descriptions of the various characters, pausing for the ap- pearance of each.
