OBSERVE MAUNDY-THURSDAY Scottish Rite Masons of Polk County Hold Annual Banquet at Hotel Gail. Spring Men's lagaa Young' ISuits Men's ' Our Spring and Summer styles of the famous "Colleg ian" clothes now ready for your inspection. New fab rics, new colorings and new creations. The Scottish Rite Masons of Polk County, with their wives and invited guests celebrated Maundy-Thursday at their annual Mystio Banquet in the main dining room of the Hotel Gail last Thursday night. The banquet began at 10 o'clock, the earlier part of the evening having been spent n a social way at the Masonio Hall. Covers were laid for thirty guests. The dining room was beautifully arranged for the occasion, the table being decorated with a wealth of American Beauty roses and ferns. The elaborate menu -and the hand some decorations were planned by Moss Walker, the well-known caterer, ably assisted by Mrs. Ella J. Metzger, Mrs. J. B. Thompson and Mrs. O. E. Williams. The supper was a delight- ully informal affair, the hours being spent In feasting, inusio and social conversation. The ceremony of Maundy-Thursday is held in accoidance with the teach- ngs of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite as contained in the Eighteenth Degree. The name of the degree is Knight Rose Croix, meaning Knight Rose Cross. The Chapter ot Rose Croix is closed once a year, on Maundy-Thursduy, and reopened on Easter Sunday. The degree derives its name from the principal symbols, the rose resting upon the cross, which symbols are hierosrlvpbically to be read, "The Dawn of Eternal Life. This degree symbolizes the final tri umph of truth over falsehood, of light over darkness, of good over evil, and of life over death. The fraternal sup per of Maundy-Thursday also teaches the infinite beneficence of God, who sends us seedtime and harvest, each in its season, and makes His showers to fall and His sun to shine alike up on the evil and the good, bestowing upon mankind unsolicited His innumerable blessings and asking no return.
