The visits of the grand president to the pariors in the interfor has aroused a spirit of enthusiasm in the subordinates that is truly remarkable. The business- llke manner in which the grand presi- dent has made her visits, her forcible, eloquent and instructive addresses have done much to place the order on a higher plane than ever before, and each parlor has benefited by the instruction in ficor ritualistic work that has been given by the visitor. At the session of La Bandera Parlor on the occasion of the official visit sixteen applications for membership were presentcd and referred to appropriate committees, and three sirangers, . whose applications had been favorably reported upon, were initiated. The acdministration of Maud Woods, the president of the parlor, who is also a grand trustee, has been marked by great “activity and progress. Grand President Keith is still yisiting the parlors in the southern part of the State, being accompanied by Grand Sec- retary Laura J. Frakes. At San Miguel, ac an adjourned meeting held to receiv the visiting officlals, three candldates ‘were initiated. A new zeal animates this loyal Mttle parior and the members were happy in the knowledge that they were entertaining -2 grand president, - who deeply interested them, and that the grand secretary was with her as a guest of the parlor. There were present at that meeting Ariana W. Stirling of Alell Rarlor, chairman of the board of grand trustees, and Winnie Hutson, district deputy grand president. That Oro Fino Parlor has taken on a new lease of life was made manifest at the last held meeting, when there wi miore enthusiasm noticed than has been kfiown in the parlor for many months. Theére was a large representation of the membership present and many visitors, among the number District Deputy Crand President Mrs. Alice Munson. After the meeting there was an at homs and an interesting programme was pre- scnted, under the direction of Mesdames ‘Wright, Bradley and Cordy. - A feature of the programme was an exhibition of fancy dancing by little Gladys Cordy. The entertainment that was given %y this parlor in the Red Men's build- ing last evening was well attend- ed, and proved a delightful success. There was an Interesting programme of varied numbers that were presented for tke enjoyment of those present by the — L. committee, composed of Mesdames Smith, A. Bonney and Nellie Mulcay. Grand President Keith and Grand Sec- retary Frakes were most cordially re- ceived at San Luisita. Thcy were the guests of Miss Agnes Lee, the secretary of the parlor, who took them to see and inspect the old mission. There was a large number of members cf the order present on the oceasion of the grand officers’ visit to Reina del Mar Parlor at Santa Barbara, and after the work there was a reception to the grand officers and a bapquet. Many Native Sons were present at the banquet, and there were many interesting and instruc- Uve speeches. The following day the grand officers were driven to the old mis- slon of Santa Barbara and then were driven to all points of interest within a reasonable distance from the.town. Los Angeles and La Esperanza parlors met In joint session to receive the grand officers. There was a grand meeting and the work of the order was exemplified in a manner that was highly commended by the grand president. Los Angeles Parlor has connected with it a social and intellectual club, under leadership of Mrs. Prather, a past president of the perlor. The members of the club pre- pare critical papers which are read In the parlor under good for the order. The grand president delivered a special ad- dress to the club, and under the Inspira- tioir of her words the members pledge.l themselves to devote attention to ¢ planting of trees and California wild- flower seeds. After the meeting there was a grand banquet and eloquent and witty speeches were delivered.

The day following the grand oflicers were the guests of the two par- lors and were shown the San Gabriel Mission, made doubly historic by the old time Spaniards and the pen of Helen Hunt Jackson in “Ramona.” The grand officers also visited Los Pimientos Par- lor, and the members expressed great de- light at being visited by the grand secre- tary as well as by the head of the order. Hanna Balley of Darina Parlor is act- ing grand secretary during the absence of Miss Frakes. The entertailnment and ball that were given by that very popular parlor La Ves- pero of South San Francisco on the even- ing of the 2th of November were a great success. These were given In South San Francisco Opera Hall and the place was crowded by the people of that section of the city and by many from the city proper. The programme was an interest- ing one and the several numbers were loudly applauded. A feature of the en- tertainment was the dancing of two chil- dren, Myrtle and Dorothy Baruh, who alsc appeared as contortionists. “The Re- vised Spinsters’ Convention™ by members cf the parlor kept the audience.n excel- lent humor for about half an hour.
