Ladies' Banquet And Dance Of The Eccleston Lodge, No. 1624.

Bros E . B ADDKRLY , S . W ., and W . J . HELLYAR , P . M ., J . W ., having suitably acknowled ged the toast , the W . M . gave " The Ladies and Visitors , " and said he considered it a very great honour to propose this toast . There was no lodge in London or England that had greater pleasure in receiving the ladies and visitors , for the Eccleston was one of the first to invite -ladies . Nothing gave rrreater p leasure to a Mason than to be able to have his lady friends with him to take some little part in their proceedings . If the ladies could only participate in . 1— Ksriniipt there was some amount of satisfaction even in that .

Bro . E . NICE , S . D ., on behalf of the ladies expressed their thanks . He carded these annual assemblies as milestones in their life and its journey . Perhaps as a single man they would consider he had spent a very lonely journey , but these meetings really constituted an important part in their life . The young people engaged in the dance found their steps suited and others followed , for often they found that their hearts also beat in unison . Bros . REDFERN , P . M . ; WOODROW , P . M . ; DEACON , P . M . ; and W . BATES ,

P . M . ; rep lied for the visitors . A short interval followed , during which Miss Mayes rendered several songs in pleasing manner and excellent style , and Bro . Field proved himself a valuable acquisition to the lodge with baritone songs . Dancing was then commenced , with Bro . C . Longworth as M . C ., and was enjoyed with zest until the small hours of the morning were well advanced . Great credit is due to the W . M ., Stewards , and especially the Secretary , Bro . Smith , P . M ., for the excellent arrangements which conduced to a brilliant success .

Bro. And Mrs. James Stephens's "At Home."

BRO . AND MRS . JAMES STEPHENS'S "AT HOME . "

In celebration of his 50 th birthday , Bro . Jamss Stephen , P . D . G . D . C , invited a large number of friends to an " At Home" at the Frascati Restaurant , Oxford-street , W ., on the 23 rd ult . The guests—who numbered about 160—included a large proportion of brethren well known in the Craft , and for this reason it was almost a Masonic event , and testified to the popularity and genialty of the host and hostess . A sumptuous banquet was served in the large hill , during which the salon orchestra discoursed sweet music . " The Queen " was afterwards loyally honoured and the National Anthem

sung , Bro . Sir J B . MONCKTON , P . G . W ., in felicitous terms proposed "The Host and Hostess , " and said it was without doubt the evening ' s toast . Most people said— "the toast of the evening "—but he wished to put a little glamour and lustre about it . They all knew the reason for this assembly . It was that

their young friend had arrived at his happy half hundred . That was why they were there and their worthy and distinguished friend hoped to be present for the next half century . He would not himself say he expected to be able to attend , but he would endeavour to come up if he could . He would ask them all to rise and drink the health of their dear friend , James Stephens , and wish him " Many happy returns of the day , " in the words of the melody they had just heard ..

Bro . J AMES STEPHENS , P . D . G . D . C , on behalf of his wife and himself , said they were delighted and honoured at seeing such a goodly number of friends around them . They were proud beyond description that two as humble as themselves should be held in such estimation . There were many present who knew him as a boy and when he reflected that he was then a weak stripling , hewas thankful to have been spared for 50 years . . He thanked Providence that he

had prospered in life . He took unto himself a wife 25 years ago when he was not then the hale hearty man he now was , but he had received kind , tender and loving nursing at her hands . They were delighted to see so many present and greeted them most heartily . He had to limit his invitations , and only the previous day he had 18 disappointments , owing to illness . It was to him a great honour to have their dear friend , Sir John B . Monckton , with them , for he had

made personal sacrifice to be present . He wished to give 50 guineas to some charity and should give it to the Royal Female Orphanage , with which Sir John Monckton was connected . He gave it in the name of his niece . He hoped they would all go away with pleasant recollections of his 50 th birthday . Bro . W . H . BAILEY , P . G . Treas ., proposed "The Ladies , " to which Bro . CYRIL SIMS—who is just off to South Africa—responded .

A choice concert was then provided in the Rothesay Room , in which the following artistes assisted : Miss Annie Bartle , Miss Emily Foxcroft , Mr . Wills Page , and Mr . Broughton Black ; sleight of hand , Mr . Alfred O . Clark ; pianist , Mr . H . L . Cooke .

A dance was . speedily in full swing in the large hall , where Messrs . B . Carter , W . Godson , ] . Hutton Hayler , and Cyril Sims acted as M . Cs . Midnight had chimed before the guests began to depart from what was unanimously agreed to be a most successful and enjoyable evening . The company included Bro . and Mrs . Jas . Stephens ; Bro . Sir Jno . Monckton ,

Bro . and Mrs . A . Ritchie ; Bro , and Mrs . H . W . Davie ; Bro . and Mrs . James Terry ; Bro . and Mrs . J . M . McLeod ; Bro . and Mrs . W . J .

CONSECRATION OF THE LODGE L'ENTENTE CORDIALE , No . 2796 .

As is known , there has been in existence for a number of years , several Metropolitan lodges working , with the special tolerance of the Grand Lodge of England , the English ritual in a foreign tongue . The membership naturally appeals to a limited number of brethren , and amongst such lodges is the Lodge La France , No . 206 i , the visitors to which very often exceed

the regular members . The working there has always been conducted with the minutest accurracy and impressiveness by the successive Worshipful Masters ; it being often remarked that the beauty and fineness of the ceremony were all the more apparent in the translation , Bro . II . Buc ( of Christ ' s Hospital ) , P . G . Std . Br ., having devoted many years of his life to that task .

As to the Lodge La Frar . cc itself , a tacit by-law is in existence , according to which Frenchmen , and only those having fulfilled the military obligations in their own country , are eligible for membership , so that visitors and friends of the lodge have at various times expressed their regret at being debarred from joining . In order to mett their wishes there has been called into life a new lodge , in which all nationalities can meet , but the business of which is to be transacted in French . It is L'Entente Cordiale , No . 2706 .
