BALL AND RECEPTION.
Perhaps the chivalry of the Middle
Ages Is often regarded as an exagger
ated dream by most ot the people to
day, but yet, last night, the feeling
;vns undeniably present that somehow
through the vicissitudes of the years
we have retained a little of the Illu
sion, a little of something Infinitely rich
In associations, infinitely sweet In sen
timent. Nowhere else do we hold It,

of life, since tlrst the battle cry of

ed by a. capital upon which rested the
Insignia of the Blue Lodge, the Chap
ter, the Council nnd thf Commandery.
Diooplng to these nnd depending from
far above were ropes and ropes of
electrical lights, and swinging at intet
vals were white doves perhaps em
blems' of the peace the Templars enjoy
now long since the stormy cruel days
of the early fourteenth century. The
whole effect was of a lovely out-of-door
fete amid the trees and tho verdure of
summer.
In the northwest coiner of the nr
mory a castle roo in stately majesty,
the lights gleaming through narrow
windows nnd grim portal. Opposite
was a Templar camp, the small pointed
tents, the trees and the general sur
roundings making a unique point of
Interest.
Over all and above all, making a
splendid glimmer of colors through the
air, hung fold upon fold of gay bunt
ing, the bold black and white of the
Knights Templar, then the brilliant
contrast ot red, white and blue. Di
rectly over the centre was suspended
a cross and crown that sparkled like
rubles In tho gleaming radiance of
electric lights.
Far In tho balcony at tho Jefferson
avenue end was a gaily decorated
stand where Bauer and his large band
was stationed. The side balcony was
occupied by the Lawrence band.
What constituted the most artistic
feature of the decorative work was
the significance of the decorations. This
was particularly true of the electrical
pieces. Each piece was emblematic of
Masonry. There were triangles, circles
framing representations of the Masonic
apron, Maltese and Passion crosses,
squares, crossed swords and banners,
all designed with Incandescent bulbs,
and over the front entrance wore large
clectiical frames illuminating scenes
typical of tho Crusades.
At the helghth ot the head above the
base of each of tho great steel rain
bows supporting tho roof, were dis
played clusters of nnclent armorings
nnd weapons. Between each arch, nt
the top of the side wftlls, were clusters
of flags, their staffs set in place behind
shields.
The walls and celling were entirely
hidden by groat stretches of vnrl-tlnted
bunting, the space between each arch
being covered with white, making an
effective background for tho wealth of
color and flood of light beneath.
Black and while, the Templar colors,
pn dominated in tho festooning, but
there wan a sufficiency of the Interme
diate colors to fully relieve any sem
blance of the funereal.
Greens were everywhere. Those sur
uiundlng tho dance floor were of suth
height nnd so profuse they almost shut
out n view of the dancers from tho
promenade nlong the slden nnd ends.
In every recess of tho great hall, In tho
coiridors und on the staircases, palms
and evergreens added their attractive
ness. At each succeeding large bull In tho
new aimory it was thought the limit
of possibility had been reached in tho
matter of reasonably expensive decora
tion. Last night's ball showed that in
previous events tho decorators had not
commenced to exhaust tho nnssihiiiHnu
Grand as were tho decorations of tho
previous ball, lust night's ball was
far grander. When Its grandeur Is sur-
UM..-U it win do time, to talk of the
limit of possibilities.
It was also the biggest ball ever held
n tho nrmory, which, of course, makes
It the biggest ball ever held In North
eastern Pennsylvania. There were ful
ly H.OOO knights and ladles piesent.
They began arriving at 8.15 und kept
com ng In an almost constant stream
un II U o clock. Between 8.C0 and 0,30
o clock tho entrance to the dancing floor
was fliiea every moment with the en
tering throng.
As the guests entered, they were ush
ered to cloak rooms on the second floor
and after depositing their wraps pro
ceeded to get the first view of the grund
spectacle which had been piovlded for
their delectation.

To this music the guests promenaded
nbout the hall, following a path of

trains of the ladles' Gowns, As they
promenaded they gazed and marvelled
at the beauty of the scene. On every
side were heard ejaculations of surprise

beautiful spectacle of its kind ever seen
in this city and it will live long in tho
memoiy of those who were privileged
to view It from the balconies, which
were thronged to such an extent that
the ctowds overflowed Into the long
corridors running behind them.
The march was participated in by
nearly 1000 couples to music furnished
by Bauer's and Lawrence's bands. The
leading couples took places near the
main entrance and wore guided through
the various evolutions by Prof. J.
Frank Selgel.
Grand Commander T. F. Penman
with his wife on his arm led the match.
The latter wore a beautiful gown of
pink chiffon over pink satin with white
lace trimmings. The most distinguish
ed Knight Templar in line was Very
Eminent Grand Standard Bearer Arthur
McArthur, of the grand encampment
of the United States. He is the official
visitor from the grand encampment to
this conclave and was the only knight
present at last night's function, entitled
to wear the purple, the color of the
grand encampment. On his arm was
Mrs. C. B. Penman attired In cream
lace net over satin.
Eminent Grand Captain General John
Little, of the New York commandery
followed escorting Miss Pennypackcr
of this city and then followed In close
order tho grand officers and past grand
commanders of this state.
The marching couples were led on
to the great platform In the center of
the drill hall by Prof. Selgel nnd were
slowly formed into a huge, living, mov
ing maitese cioss. Knights who vol
unteeied their services for the occasion
stood at "attention" at certain given
points wheie they had been placed by
Prof Selgel and served to divert the
marchers this way or that as the
formation of the figure demanded.
The marching couples had only dim
and hazy ideas nbout what they were
forming. They simply followed the
couple ahead nnd kept on the move.
Neither could the thousand nnd more
persons who watched the evolutions
from the floor level fully appreciate
the wonderful beauty of the scene. The
other thousand In the balconies could,
however, and applauded more than
once at the compelling fascination of
the spectacle.
The chapeaus of the marching
knights gleamed like white foam upon
the crest of what seemed to be mighty
waves of color. Besides tho maltese
cross u number of other Intricate evo
lutions weie pei formed by the march
ing knights and their ladles fair before
the band stopped playing. The gowns
of the ladlf 3 were stilklngly elaborate
In many Instances.
It Is safe to say that not more than
one dozen of tho men In attendance
were without white plumed chapeaus.
The majority of the knights wore their
regulation black frock coats. Many,
however, woie evening dress with
shoulder straps, denoting tholr rank,
sewed on the dress coat nnd wore
ehnpenus and any of the jeweled badges
they might be entitled to wear.
Tho dancing began Immediately upon
tho conclusion of the grand march.
Forty munbeis were Indulged In, Bauer

is largely interested In coastwise trade,
being a member of the firm of Bartlett

a child, nnd has resided there ever
since. He attended the public schools

from the central high school. He Is a
director of the Security Life Insurance
company of Philadelphia, of which ex
Governor Robert E. Patterson is presi

Pattlson married daughters of the
same family and are close personal and
business friends.
He Is one ot the most popular knights
In Philadelphia, and his coming eleva
tion to the highest oillce In the grand
commandery will be the cnuse of much
gratifleatlon"to all Philadelphia Temp
lars. Rev. Charles M. Stock, D. D.
Rev. Charles M. Stock, D. D., ot
Hanover, grand generalissimo of the
grand commandery of Pennsylvania,
Knights Templar, Is one of tho most
distinguished of the many d!stln
guished men In nttendnnce on the an
nual conclave.
He was installed as grand prelate
April 2, 1896. In May, 1S9S, he was
elected grand Junior warden and has
bee1!! advanced each year since, so that
he now tills the oillce of grand general
issimo. Dr. Stock has written several
articles on Masoniy subjects that me
regarded us authority among the
Knights Templar of the country.
The esteem and affection In which
Dr. Stock is held by the Masons is Il
lustrated In tho following from. "The
Keystone," the ollliial oigan of tho
state Knights Templar:
In IMS, when lie was put forward by his
friends us a candidate far grand junior
the '
warden of tho giund commander)
member of congress fiom the Nineteenth
congressional dtsttlct, who had been
elected captain general or his commuii
dery at Carlisle, came up fiom Washing
ton to voto for him. It so happened, by
leuson of tho tension then existing In con
gress that tho said captain general-elect
had not befoio had the opportunity of
leaving AVnshlngton. and consequently ho
had not been installed.
This would have debarred him from
casting a ballot In the grand comman
dery. This disability was not thought of
until after midnight of tho duy for tho
election, Thcieupon a number of cntlms-Im-tlo
Templars churtoicd an engine and
ono coach, mulled up to Carlisle, opened
a commandery ot Knights Templar at 2
o'clock a. m., all thu olTicers being at
their posts, installed thu captulu goiierul
clect. and ut 10 o'clock he was back In
AVnslilngioii, nnd cast Ills ballot for tho
man of his choice.
Dr. Stock Is Just as prominent out
of Masonic circles as he Is In them.
For fifteen yeuis ho hns been pastor
ot tne Ht. oiarK's iuthoran church of
