Ladies' Night of the Playgoers' Lodge , No . 2705 .
A SUCCESSFUL ladies' banquet was held recently at the Victoria Hall , Hotel Cecil , in connection with the above lodge . The chair was occupied by the Worshipful Master Bro . Walter Schroder , and upwards of 250 ladies and brethren were present . The usual toast list was necessarily curtailed in the presence of those from whom it is to be
hoped no secrets are hidden but those of Freemasonry . Under the circumstances the toast of the evening was naturally " The Ladies , " which was proposed by the Worshipful Master in a genial and humorous speech , full of appropriate poetic quotations , who concluded thus— " on every ground of chivalry , gratitude , and of justice , let us , by
HRO . WALTI'lR SCHRODER . the enthusiasm with which we receive this toast , testify to the measure of our obligations to the ladies for adding so largely , so indispensably to the joys , comforts , and happiness of a life that would not be worth living without them , and would
not be lived at all without their loving and fostering aid . " Other toasts were " The Guests , " proposed by the Worshipful Master , and replied to by Bro . Chas . Townley ; " The Worshipful Master , " proposed by the I . P . M ., Bro . W . Sparks , and " The Officers , " proposed by the Worshipful Master ,
and replied to by Bro . Farrington , the Secretary , and Bro . Godstein , the Treasurer . Interspersed with the speeches was an excellent musical programme .
