"Two weeks ago a 'Surprise Visit' was made at Waukegan with an attendance of 181 visiting lodge members. Northbrook lodge visited A. T. Sherman lodge and put on the Initiatorv degree. In return, the members of A. T. Sher- man lodge visited Northbrook lodge and gave their candidates the work in the first degree. The Steel City lodge of Gary, Ind., is expected to bring its second degree team to Wil- mette at an early date." "Odd Fellowship in Illinois," con- tinues the writer, "has made a splen- did record, not only in regard. to its steady growth in membership but for work well performed. It has been a leader in practical fraternity. It has approximately 135,000 members in the state and stands third among the jurisdictions under the Sovereign Grand lodge. In the establishment of its Old Folks' Home at Mattoon, and its Orphans' Home at Lincoln, it demonstrated its ability to conduct these large institutions in a manner which has not only been a credit to the order, but to the state of Illinois."

The dance com- mittee, of which Mrs. Leslie McAr- thur is chairman, is planning a num- ber of interesting features for the affair.
