Keith Parlor on February 2 gave a leap year party in Franklin Hall, which was attended by a large number of members and many of their friends. The hall was beautifully decorated, hearts being the feature of the decora- tions, and each of the girls who was “heart and fancy free” wore a blood red heart. The grand march was led by Eliza D. Keith, J. P. G. P, and M. H, Tillman. There was a cage for the detgntion of the men that violated the leap year rules. Ma transgres- sors were placed in “jail,” and forced to remain there until bailed out bw their fair escorts AR, Odd Fellowship. tebekah Lodge will give a leap ear masquerade in Scotti American Hall on the evening of Feb- A number of the large stores for ruary 12 of this city‘have donated prizes this occasion, and these will be dis- nted to that are the best , that best carry out the char- d, and for the most orig- inal characters. It is expected that this will be one of the most pleasur- able functions of the kind ever given under the auspices of a Rebekah lodge. The installation of officers for the current term in district 5 was con- cluded with the installation of the of- ficers of Templar Lodge on the fourth those assumn Saturday in January. Each lodge took special pride in decorating Its hall for the occasion, and it was the general verdict that in that line, not. to say anything of the ceremonies, Loyal Lodge won the greatest credit, the decorations being the most origi- nal and at the same time most attrac- tive. A citrus scene was represented, there being green branches every- where, to which were attached hun- dreds of lemons and oranges. The idea was that of the noble grand, who fur- nished all the material for the occa- sion. If there had been a prize for the best decorations Loyal would undoubt- edly have captured it. There was lots of fun at the ragtag party given by Amity Lodge in its hall at the end of “Cape Horn™ in the Odd Fellows' building on the last Saturday in January. The attendance was such that the hall, large as it is, was not large enough to accommodate those that desired to gain admission. The programme presented was an enjoy- able one, and the fun was fast and furious. This lodge has appointed a member as chairman of the committee on social entertainment who purposes keeping the lodge engaged socially dur- ing the present term. The officers of Templar Rebekah odge were installed on the fourth urday in January by District Dep- uty of the California Assembly, Flora Bergman, isted by the grand mar- ghal and her staff of officers. The new officers are: Mrs. H. W. Osthoff, past noble grand; Grace M. Bray, noble grand; Maude Dennett, vice grand; Cora Gabrielle, recording secretary; Anna M. Derning. treasurer; Dora Baker, chaplain; Jennie Simmons, warden; Edna Cunard, conductor; Mary Holes and Mrs. O. Gould, guards; Bessie D. Munroe and Lottie Carson, supporters to noble grand; Lottie Wil- liams and Madelaine Young, suppori- ers to vice grand. After the installa- tion the retiring noble grand, Mrs. Os- thoff, was presented a beautiful collar, and in the presentation the fact that Templar Lodge, during Mrs. Osthoff’s term, had made the greatest gain in membership, was most favorably com- mented upon. The retiring past noble grand was presented a beautiful dia- mond set jewel, and the incoming no- ble grand, a very popular young lady, was, by her friends, presented a gold watch as a token of affection. Then followed the presentation of many flowers to all the officers. Walhalla, the German Rebekah Lodge of this city, will attend a leap year party on the evening of Thurs- day, February 25. On that occasion there will be an interesting programme of entertainment, and a feature will be dancing by little Fanny Gutman, the pet of Walhalla Lodge. ——e American Foresters.

He was tendered a great welcome at Sacramento, Stockton, Haywards and Santa Rosa. He also visited Oakland. At each of the places except the last named he was made the recipient of a token of fraternal love and at each place he visited he spoke to those who received and entertained him. He leaves the State with a most exalted opinion of the hospitality of the peo- ple, the American Foresters in partic- ular, and of the State and predicts for it a most glorious future, The fifth annual entertainment and dance given by Junior Court Pride of the Golden West No. 3, F. of A, in the Shiels building in the latter part of January was well attended and proved a very pleasant affair.
