As a member of ‘Pacific Lodge, of which he is past grand, he, through his personal efforts, brought into it and had initiated nearly 100 strangers, a most re- markable record.

In addition to this record in Odd Fellowship he stands high and well in the Masonic fraternity and in the Grand Army of the Republic, he being one of those who fought in the Civil War. Mr. Turpin is what is known as a fraternai man in the full sense of that term. Spartan Lodge will at its meeting on May 27, at South San Francisco, have a Templar Lodge will at its meeting this week act upon a new set of by-laws. Sargent Lodge No. 368 at its last held meeting admitted three to membership by initiation, the degree being conferred in an admirable manner by R. R. Moody, the noble grand, and his staff of officers in the presence of a large number of visji- tors and members. This makes six initia- tions in a month and there are still some on the waiting list. quet in the banquet hall of the Odd Fel- lows’ building. Last sday President Alma I.

There were a number of ladies present by special invitation and after an exchange of fraternal courtesies PHOTT «ss’ | AT AP ‘ Faedzrc=4 cIRo L= | The unexpected always happens, and what was unexpected in this order was that Melville P. Forbes, who for so,many years has held the office of hcru.ldlnl the Grand Lodge was not reappointed. Mr. Forbes was a very efficient officer, wa acquainted with every one who has at- tended Grand Lodge sessions and is pos- sessed of such a good memory for faces that it did not take him long to ‘“catch on” to the new ones and by reason af that faculty there never was any un- necessary delay at the door of entrance. Those who won prizes at the recent masquerade ball given by Oriental Lodge were: Best dressed lady, Gertrude Spottswood, noble grand; Most original lady, Abbie Ewing, P. N. G.; best sus- tained lady, Maude Forbes; special men- tion, Mrs. M. P. Forbes best dressed man, Mr. Lee; most original man, Mr. Yancey; best sustained male character, Mr. Sline, and special mention J. Wilson. In the early part of the month Orien- tal Rebekah Lodge tendered a reception to the membership of Pacific and Tem- plar lodges and there was an inter ing programme presented. There were present many prominent members of the order. Mrs. H.' W. Osthoff entertained with songs and then there were instru- mental and vocal selections, the serving of refreshments and dancing. Templar Rebekah Lodge at its meeting May 9 presented to Mrs. Alma I. Jen- sen, the recently elected president of the California Assembly, a handsome pin and star of the rank of past noble grand. Last night the lodge tendered her a ban- = x 4 a fine lunch was served. The menus were in the shape of a gavel with the colors of the order. It was announced that it was an anniversary of the birth of the host- ess. Then came a shower of flowers and many beautiful gifts, including a dia- mond ring from her husband, a silver berry spoon, silver orange spoon, cut glass powder jar and delicate tokens from friends. In turn the hostess presented a photograph of herself to the president of the assembly in a handsome carved leather frame. During the afternoon there were congratulatory talks by the presi- dent of the assembly, the secretary, Mrs. Donoho; Mrs. Elizabeth T. Shaw, Mrs. Eola M. Cyrus and other prominent’ mem- bers of the organization. Those present besides the hostess were: Mrs. Alma Isabel Jensen, Mary E. Donoho, Gertrude Spottswood, Maude Forbes, Sophie Forbes, Mrs. L.

The credit for the excellence of the entertainment, which included numbers by Sichel's or- chestra, Miss Alexander, Eugene Blan- chard, Dave Monasch, Maude Sharp and Queenie Tilton, Joseph E. Shearer, T. B. Zekind and Nellie B. Waters, is due to Dr. Herbert S.

The of- ficers of this council pride themselves on their close observance of the ritualistic work. Ex-Senator Fred H.
