Their description follows: - 'I4 ' Immediately after the exempliflca' tion ' of the ritualistic work by the grand officers, they vacated the floor and to the strains of music Hope chap ter entered the chapter room. I -y ' Dr. Lincoln, the worthy patron, es corted the worthy matron, Miss Carrie B. Hunter to the east and Miss Wilma ! Rinehart to the piano. ; The ,25 ladies gowned beautifully but simply in cream silk mull were greeted with great applause from the large audience assembled In the grand pie, as they entered. They wore white shoes and their only decoration was a large corsage bouquet of pink roses, presented to them by the ladles of the Portland chapters. ; , f , y .

Rine hart as a mark of honor. . - " The additional 12 then entered the chapter room and Joining with the floral team for almost an hour cre ated an enthusiasm which called for encore after ncore from the large as semblage of Eastern Stars for their military appearance while marching and counter marching and forming the following symbolic figures: ; Hope 13, O. E. S.," "Scrolls and Dou ble Scrolls,'' ! "Triangles." ;"Double Labyrinth," "Cabalistic" and all signs of the order and "Rinehart."

' - Mrs. Schllke and Miss Rinehart have Ingratiated themselves with the Port land people and those who. were for tunate in being present from other parts; of ..the -state.' with their, able leadership and power producing ef fect of enthralled musical strains. We consider It as a whole a great success and La Grande should be proud of her representative ladles who have so nobly done them ) and re member them with kindness and every courtesy possible.

To the La Grande Observer: I wish to thank through the Observer each and every one who helped to show ua the good time at Portland and Gear hart park. I know we all appreciated the kind ness shown us by the management at the Hot Lake sanatorium. We were treated very kindlr at ths Imperial hotel and the banquets given at the different places were greatly enjoyed by all, as also were the par ties given in our honor. The rose carnival and the parades were simply great, I wish to thank es pecially the people at Gearhart park who showed us so much consideration. Also Mr, Dennis who was the means of making such a trip possible for us. Miss Rotan and Mr. Brock cannot be equaled'as chaperones. , -, Taken ail together it was the mosl enojyable time of my life and will al ways beremembered at such. - . ; ',' '","."'

The last was a beauti ful emblem which was presented by Dr. Seemann on behalf of Hope Chap ter No. 13, to Worthy Grand Matron Jennie G. Rinehart. The drill team then presented to Mrs. Schllke as a token k of their appreciation of' her many efforts, her unrelenting energy and skilled military ability, a hand some solid silver set of knives and forks. , ; Following this, Wilma Rinehart was the recipient of a beautiful ruby ring, presented to her by the drill team as a j compliment for the talented manner in which she executed the beautiful musical strains which lead La Grande's most popuTar team to success. To say that the presentation of the drill work was grand, is expressing it lightly for upon every hand compli ment after compliment haB been, ex tended them. None but those present can in the least appreciate the beauti ful military effect, the precision of movement, the unity of sweet facial expression and apparent hypnotic pow er which teemed to emanate from that most illustrious leader, and trainer, Mrs.' Dora; ScbJlbr.;' .. ;': Jy .Alluding to the personal beauty of the members of the team and the many compliments paid" them we recall the accession of Queen Esther to the throne, for it is said that "after the divorce of.; Qoeen Vashtl, the king caused" search to be made throughout the empire for the most beautiful wo man to be her successor.".
