Ethel Sherwood and Miss Kenneth Eastin, the contributors to the pleasure of the evening being introduced by Rev. R. E. Nunn. The supreme lecturer was then presented and was warmly received. For an hour and a quarter he addressed the assemblage and delivered one of the most eloquent speeches on fraternity that has been delivered in this city in many years. It was not one of those common- place, every-day talks on the subject. but a picture in words painted by a master hand that brought out in the brightest colors the good work of the fraternal so- cleties of the country, with especiai refer- ence to the Modern Woodmen of America, His address stampeq him as one of the brightest orators of the fraternal world at this time. i —_— The Eastern , Star. The reception that was tendered on the third Friday in February in the Masonic Temple by the Past Masters’ Association of California, F. and A. M., to the Past Matrons' and Patrons' As- soclation of California, Order of the Eastern Star, was one of the most de- lightful successes that has ever been given in this city by the Past Masters. It brought togetlier many of those who sérved as officers of both associa- tions in the past and gave them an opportunity to remew acquaintances, and it also gave the ladies an oppor- tunity to display magnificent gowns, which they did to their credit and ad- vantage. C. P. L. Marals, chairman of the committee of arrangements, after calling the meeting to order, an- nounced that the reception was a re- turn one in appreciation of the one tendered some time ago by the guest association to the host assoclation. Then followed one of the most pleasing programmes of entertainment ever heard in the temple, each contributor be- ing an artist in the full sense.

San Franeisco Chapter was officially visited last Monday night by District Deputy Grand Matron Mrs. Ida B. Spence, who inspected the work and the business methods. The session was an executive one. An exemplification of the ritualistic and memorized work by Worthy Matron Mrs. Lottie Roth- man and her officers was such that it brought forth most flattering comment from the visiting official. “La Estrella,” a soclal eclub com- posed of members of Mission Chapter i £ PDUPYY” 2D G S AND PowmAR | TAN SEMINOLE i CiRcLZE D orR FOWZER Prmoro +* —— March 2.
