The October Election Of The Girls' School.
THE OCTOBER ELECTION OF THE GIRLS' SCHOOL .
THE Autumn Eleotion of the Royal Masonic Institution for Girls -will this year take place on Saturday , the 11 th October , on which occasion thirty g irls "will compete for thirteen vacancies , a proportion of candidates to vacancies considerably more than -was the case at the last election , when twenty-three were admitted from a list
of thirty-five . Of the thirty now on the list , four are " last applications , " and the first of these , No . 2 , Mabel Harriet Godfrey , now appears for the third time . She is one of a family of three children dependent on a widowed mother , and brings forward 137 votes from the two
elections she has already taken part in . The other three "last" cases are applications new to the present list . No . 14 , Augusta Gilbert , is also one of three fatherless children ; No . 23 , Edith Jane Armstrong , forms one of a
family of ten left to the care of their widowed mother . Her father was initiated in the Percy Lodge , No . 1427 , Northumberland , in 1878 , and remained a subscriber until the time of his death , which occurred in April 1883 . We hope the brethren of the North will collect sufficient votes to
relieve this widow of at least one of her numerous family . No . 27 , Ethel Fallding , is one of six dependent on a widowed mother . Her case is accredited to West
Yorkshire , and being the only one on the list from that district it would appear as though it had been adopted by the Province , in which case the election of the child may be looked upon as all but certain .
Among the most deserving cases , from a general point of view , on the present list , are Nos . 20 and 30 , both of whom are children whose parents are , in each case , dead . No . 20 , Minnie Madeline Mansell , is one of a family of six parentless children , two of whom , however , are partly provided
for ; still the case even then appears as one of the most deserving it is possible to imagine , and we hope that ere long it will be found that the Girls' School has taken care of one of these orphans . The father was a member of the Panmnre Lodge , No . 720 , in which it is to be hoped he
left a number of friends , who will now come forward and help his children . No . 30 , Adelaide Prances Hughes , is the other parentless child . She is one of a family of three , and we trust will receive the hearty support of the Royal Alfred Lodge , No . 780 , Kew , of which her father was a
member at the time of his death . Eight children are returned as being dependent on tbe widowed mother of No . 9 , Beatrice Elizabeth Wright , who now comes forward for the second time , with 783 votes to her credit . Her father was a P . M . and Past Provincial
Officer of Staffordshire , and it would seem , judging from the result of last April's ballot , that he has left a good number of friends behind him . In the case of No . 6 , Maude Mary Bromley , there are seven fatherless children in the family . Maude has already taken part in two
elections , and has 1028 votes to her credit as the result thereof . With a little energy this case should be assured for the coming contest , but as the competition will be more severe than before , it' behoves her friends to leave no stone
unturned to secure votes . No . 7 , Frances Alice Searle , also one of seven fatherless children , has had similar experience as regards elections , with a trifle better result , the number ° f votes she brings forward being 1106 . The case is accredited to the Province of Kent , a district which will

not allow her to stand outside much longer , if a few votes can assist in securing her election . No . 11 , Jessie Louisa Beilby , also ono of soven fatherless children , has stood but one election , as tbe result of which she has 843 votes to her credit . This case is likewise accredited to Northumberland ,
as also is No . 8 , to which we shall refer later on . No . 22 , Louisa Adelaide Smithers , and No . 25 , Emma Winifred Carlyle , complete the list of cases in which there are seven children dependent . Each of these are first applications , the father of the former being an old member of the Faith
Lodge , No . 141 , London , and of the latter a P . M . of Loyal Cambrian , No . 110 , South Wales ( East Division ) , in which district he had held Provincial Grand Lodge office . No . 3 , May Amelia Wheeler , is one of six children dependent on a widowed mother . She has already stood two elections ,
and now brings forward 891 votes . Her father was a Past Master of the Dalhousie Lodge , No . 865 . No . 21 , Alice Mary Blunt , is described as one of a family of six , of whom one is partially provided for . She has a brother in
the Boys' School , and she now makes a first application for admission to the Sister Institution . No . 15 , Margaret E . M . Holmes , is one of five children , whoso father died in 1881 . She is accredited to the Province of
Durham , and now appears on the balloting sheet for the first time . No . 26 , Gertrude Frances Greenwood , also one of five dependent children , has both parents living , the father however being insane , an affliction , as we have often pointed out , which seems to
call for greater sympathy with the mother than does even the death of her husband . The father is a P . M . of the St . Augustine Lodge , No . 972 , and a Past Provincial Officer of Kent . We sincerely hope that sufficient votes will be forthcoming to ensure this girl's early election .
No . 28 , Ellen Marguerite Wetherell , also one of a family of five , has her mother still living . Her father was a P . M . of the Watford Lodge , No . 404 , Herts . No . 5 , Edith Ellen Betts , is also one of a family of five , of whom , however , one is partially provided for . This girl now makes a third
application , and brings forward 1002 votes as the result of the two elections she has taken part in . Her father was a P . M . of St . Peter's Lodge , Staffordshire . There are several cases on the list in which there are four children dependent , the first being No . 1 , Jane Wheeler Hutchings , who brings
forward 630 votes from three previous elections in which she has taken ' a part . Her father was a member of the Corinthian Lodge , No . 1382 , London , at the time of his death , which occured in November 1881 . No . 17 , Rose Isabel Marian Woodforde , comes next . Hers is a first
application case , accredited to the Province of Somerset . No . 24 , Dora Annie Gibson , is a N . and E . Yorkshire candidate , her father having been a member of Camalodunum Lodge , No . 660 . No . 29 , Kate Sharland , is the daughter of an old Devonshire Mason , her father having
been a member of St . Peter ' s Lodge , No . 1125 . No . 4 , Fanny Heath , one of three fatherless children , now appears for the third time , bringing forward 580 votes from October and April last . Her father was a member of Peace and Harmony Lodge , No . 359 , Hampshire . No . 8 ,
