To Meet Mr. Kirk Munroe.
You are all invited to meet Mr. Kirk Munroe on Wednesday evening, November 20th, at eight o'clock, at St. Agnes Hall, 121 West Ninety-first Street, New York. The "you" includes all Knights, Ladies, and Patrons of the Order, and all their friends, young, old, and middle-aged. Mr. Munroe will read from his own works, tell stories of his travels, and, as far as possible, greet you by the hand. He will also tell you of the work at Good Will Farm, in which he is greatly interested.
An opportunity will be given all present to contribute to the School Fund. If you cannot attend, send your contribution by a friend. No tickets of admission are required, and no admission fee to the hall will be charged.
To reach St. Agnes Hall, take either the Sixth or Ninth Avenue elevated trains, the Broadway cable (Columbus Avenue cars), or the Sixth Avenue horse-cars. On the "L" get off at Ninety-third Street station; the surface cars at Ninety-first Street. The hall is just west of Columbus Avenue, north side of Ninety-first Street. Although well uptown the hall is conveniently reached from any part of New York, and even from Brooklyn. Hence we hope to see a large attendance.
Time did not permit the formation of a general Committee of Arrangements. Had it been possible, there should have appeared on such committee the names of several active Ladies of New York and Brooklyn who are much interested In the Fund. Under the circumstances the following named Knights kindly took charge of the details: Beverly S. King, Louis J. Vance, Leon C. Eils, Simon T. Stern, Julien M. Winnemore, Charles Frederick Hoffman, Upton B. Sinclair, Jun., Richard J. Drake, Grant Knauff, Walter A. Sill, A. B. Horne, George M. Kelley, Henry H. Risley, LeRoy Orvis, Frank J. Smyth, Halsey R. Graves, Louis A. Walsh, and Allyn Williams.
We hope all members, whether on this committee or not, will act as if they were on it and do their best to make this reception a success. As the old phrase has it, "Come, and bring your friends."
Earning the Order's Badges.
The new badges do not supplant the old ones. The latter are still badges of the Order, and in applying you should say whether you want the pansy leaves or the rose. The new badge is the wild rose, taken from the centre of the original King Arthur round table. It is an exact reproduction of it, as you may see by examining it in the red seal on the bottom of your Patent. The badges are now made in sterling silver and solid gold, both stick-pins. Their prices are 10 cents and 85 cents respectively.
