It was in 1730 that we drat heard of femi-
nine lodges being csnabituted in France, and
albheuga they may be said to have exalted
aloogatde of masaunne Freemasonry rather
than forming pert and parent of it, yet they
ware defieibely reoegnized as belonging to
the craft by decree of the Grand Orient of
Frame dated April 10th, 1774. Feminine
Maeanry in those Jaye was eeetrlobed almost
oxalusively to ladies el Royal and noble
rank. Taus we find bhe Duchene! Chartres
as mietreee of one ledge and the Duchess
of Baurben of another, both of these
Prinoeeees being =dreamed as "Honorable
and Worshipful" in the effiaiat oemmnnioa-
bione despobohed be thane by the Grand
Orient of France.
Marie Antoinette's friend, the lovely
Princes= de Lamballe, whe we. mannered
during the Reign of Terror, and whose
head was carried on a pike through the
atreets of Paris, was the mistrase of the So-
cial Contract Lodge, and a short time be-
fore the overthrow of royalty served for a
time as Grand Mistreee ef the Order.
In 1805 the Empress Josephine was peva
rant ab a meeting of a duly constituted tem!.
nine Maeento Lodge at Strasburg, and
again, in 1819, we hear of the celebrated
Maiquiee de Valletta pranging at the Inaba
tutieu ef a new Masonic Ledge. In sherb,
lemiaine Manna abounded In Franca up to
the year 1863, whenithe decree ef Pope Pita

net effialal, dist alntiert of their varlets
ledges throughout the country.
It was not unfit 1882 that any attempt
was made to revive them. In January of
than year Mme. Deraismas was solemnly
initiated by the masonllae ledge " Lee
Libras Peneeure " (the Free Thinkers), at
Lepsoq, near Paris. The Grand Orient of
France, however, declined to ratify bhe

held in a half oemmunicabing with a

lady unwltbingly overheard all than was

she at firab thought the meeting would

then again it 000urred bo her that she had.

functionary, as in duty boned, brought his
prisoner back, to the middle ef the hell and
presented'the terrified girl bo the aesembly.,
Unauimane regret wee expressed for the"
fate that the young woman had incurred,
but all agreed that there was only one issue.
" Oh i ne, gentleman," said Lord Dem-
eans. " I am net going to .lose my enly
daughter, you must find same other way

" Thera can be but one ' ' other way,' "
replied the apekeeman, " but the is nob

The oonolueioa was aasepeed, the lady was
sworn In there and thea, and proved as
loyal al Irishwomen invariably are to any
oath they may take.

Baralemea, like all her taster Masons of the

made a pretension of these eenbtmenbe when
she applied for reoegnibion of her lodge to

THE POWER OF MUSIC.
An Old Engineer Gives His Impressions of a

" I was loitering around the streets last

leans, to a reporter of the Times -Democrat.
" As I had nothing to do, I dropped into a

man play a piano in a way Chet made ms
