Wolff went to Petaluma, where they instituted a new grove to work in the Italian language. It was named Unity and starts with a good member- ship. The officers named were assisted by past arches of Petaluma, Cypress, Sono- ma, Healdsburg, Sempione, Otavia, Dante and Frederick Seig groves, nearly all the groves in Sonoma County.

There she insti- tuted Oro Fino Circle with forty-three charter members. The degrees were con- ferred by the tuting officer.

Sebastopol Parlor, at Sebastopol, Sono- ma County, was reorganized by Grand President Byington, assisted by Grand Marshal Juilliard, Grand Trustee Joseph R. Knowland, Assistant Grand Secretary Edwin L. Meyers, Grand Organizer 8. A. D. Jones, and members of Santa Rosa and Altamont parlors. There were twen- ty-two at the rehabilitation of the parlor.

Grand Treasurer Martin and Grand Sec- retary Lunstedt have returned from a visit to the different parlors in the dis- trict of the grand treasurer. There was a great deal of enthusiasm in the parlors, this being shown by many of the members riding many miles to reach the meeting place, for the purpose of greeting the grand officers. At Forest Hill they had a splendid meeting with Sierra Parlor and while there they visited the mines and succeeded in securing four candidates for the parlor. Later on by their advice and instructions they saved the parlor sev- eral hundred dollars, which they would have lost had it not been for their visit. Prospect Parlor of Iowa Hill was found not to be in'as good condition as was ex- pected. At Colfax they found that Cape Horn Parlor was about to lapse, but by ewd tact they placed it on its frater- nal. feet again, and the prospects are that within a short time it will again be the energetic parlor that it was in the past. They also made their influence for good felt at Auburn and at Dutch Flat. This tour of visitations is a good illustration of the value of officfal visits by officers who have the interest of the order at heart. The meeting recently held by Stanford Parlor for the purpose of introducing the prospective candidates who will go into the order at the large class initiation was a very great success. There were twenty- five candidates*who were introduced to the old members, after which there was a feast which gave the new ones an idea of Stanford's hospitality. There was also a programme of music, songs and stories presented under the direction of President A. F. Schieicher. Golden Gate Parlor’s high jinks in the latter part of October was attended by as many as could crowd into the hall. J. R. McIsaacs acted as gire of the evening and there was fun for all from 9 o’clock tiil midnight, professional and volunteer talent entertaining the crowd, while the committee was active distributing sand- wiches, refreshments and cigars: The same night Sequoia Parlor had a “Funagain” party for its members. It was an evening of song, music, boxing ex- Pbibitions and story telling. There was a large number of members and friends present, and there was fun for several hours which was dealt out in chunks by L. M. Bannan, who acted as master of ceremonies. The parlor was liberal in dispensing hospitality and all left the hall with a good opinion of Sequola No. 160. The large class initiation will take place in Native Sons’ Hall on the night of the of November. the 1ith inst. Stanford Parlor will a reunion of the “stayaways” and special feature will be the programme for their entertainment. The grand ball given by Sequoia Parlor, N. S. G. W., in Native Sons' Hall on the last Wednesday in ©October was one of the best attended and most successful af- rs that this parlor has ever given. The hall was decorated in a manner that gave it the eppearance of an enchanted cham- ber in a fairy palace. There were more than four hundred dancers on the floor.

Keith of the Native Daughters of the Golden West has been enjoying the experience of making official visitations in the northern part of the State, riding through fog banks, en- countering snow and rain and all the dis- comforts of long rides in stages, but as it is all for the good of the order she will put up with inconveniences if her visits serve to enthuse the membership. At Downieville, Sierra City, Sierraville and Loyaltcn she was enthusiastically re- ceived by the members, many of whcm came from a long distance to see the new grand president. At one of the parlors the remark was made after she had de- livered an eloquent address that she was “like all kinds of pianos combined, having a good musical tone, and being grand, up- right and square.” 3 Ramona Parlor of Magtinez, the home par- lor of Past Grand President Dr.Mariana Bertola, through whose efforts the Amer- jcan flag was introduced in every par- ior of the order, celebrated flag day with unusual eclat on the 2ist of October, not being able to observe the day at the first meeling of the month on account of the fact that the members were deeply inter- ested in the annual benefit that was giv- er. in aid of the free reading room of Mar- tinez. The past grand president was in- troduced as the “flag president” and was received with loud cheers. It was ex- plained that it was during her term that the American flag was displayed at the altar in every parlor and that no ses- sion is now held without the emblem of the country being displayed. It was also sizted that her resolution introduced in a grand parlor resulted in the adoption of flag ¢ celebration. Dr. Bertola, who is a gifted speaker, delivered a most pa- triotic address, expressing her love of country, of fiag and of the order, and paerticularly of Ramona Parior, that has #tood so firmly by her and has honored her in many ways. Miss Minnie Bertola tolé of the origin of the American flag and of the making of the first one by Betsy Ross. Mrs. Jennie Hale followed with a recitation of “Barbara Frietchie.” Then there was singing of “Hail Colum- bia” by Miss Sadie Davenport and a vo- cal solo, “The Flower of Liberty,” ren- derec by Elsa Upham. At the close of the programme three rousing, womanly cheers were given for “Flag President bertcla,” after which a luncheon was served. The bazaar that was"given recently by Minerva Parlor in aid of its fund for the refief of the sick was well attended and proved to be a very enjoyable affair. There was a dance after the many pretty things that had been donated had been disposed of. The affair was creditably managed by Mary A. Dempsey, Margaret A. Wynn, Mrs. Emma Kroder, Mrs. An- nie L. Donaldson, Mrs. Annie Kroder, Miss Nellie Wynne, Mrs. M. Granville, Miss Lena Wilson, Mrs, L. Shade, Mrs. J. Williams, Mrs. V. Sterns, Miss Minnie ‘Wall, Mrs. L.
