The entertainment and dance givenp by the Native Sons’ literary and social committee, - under the auspices of Niantic Parlor, on the fourth Wednes- day in March, was another of those social successes for which this associa- tien has become noted. The programme of entertainment was well received and the dancing, which closed the evening, was under the directidn of E. E. Schmitz as floor manager and Edward J. Riley as assistant, with W. H. Priest, Lewis F. Byjngton, Frank Mor- decal, T. A. O'Leary, Carl Westerfeld, G. F. Euler, Edward R. Rock, C. F. Plate and W. E. Carroll as the recep- tion committee.

This year it will be in the nature of a smoker on the evening of April 23, in the banquet hall of the Native Sons’ building, and it is ex- pected that this affair will surpass any previous effort, in view of the fact that Fred H. Jung, the genial recording sec- retary of the parlor, is a candidate for the office of grand secretary in opposi- tion to Charles H. Turner, the incum- bent. A very interestin: programme has been prepared for the occasion. Pacific Parlor, N. 8. G. W,, has un- der consideration a proposition to in- crease the salaries of “Recording An- gels” Miller and Fraser, in apprecia- tion of faithful work in increased du- ties. The members of this parlor are working the boomlet for Dan A. Ryan for the office of grand trustee In the hope that it will develop into a first- class boom. BB D Red Men.

W. into the lodge in a very creditable manner. The lodge appointed a committee to ar- range for the anniversary celebration. The grand officars of the Degree of Honor opened a schcol of instruction in the hall of Ivy Lodge, Oakland, last week. It was attended by many mem- bers of the order, as well as officers of lodges, who received much information. and if they carry into practice the les- sons taught they will do much to ele- vate the order. Mrs. Morrison having declined to serve as delegate from Silver Spray Lodge to the Grand Lodge, Mrs. Linda G. Molloy has been elected to take her rlace. The party given last z-eek by Silver Spray Lodge in celsior Hall was well attended and was a very pleasing func- tion. This subordinate never neglects to shine in the fraternal social world.

The programme was made up of a goodly pumber of up-to-date dances.

The entertainment given last week by Berkeley Council, at Lorin, was a delightful affair and the attendance of members and invited guests proved that the Pendoites are a feature in that locality. This council, which was instituted by L. J. Beldin, is composed of many of the prominent residents of Berkeley. At every meeting this coun- cil has work in the initiatory degree. Supreme Organizer G. A. Howard, who is at work in Southern California, is giving lectures on the order and at the same time entertaining with a stereopticon show on the benefits to be derived from Pendo.
