CORRESPONDENCE .
THB JUBILEE AND THE LADIES .
To the Editor of the FREEMASON s CHRONICLE . DEAR SIR AND BROTHER , —If one might judge from the " signs of the times , " it is pretty clear that the wives , sweethearts and sisters of Masons are to have their share in the festivities that ara being arranged in celebration of Her Majesty ' s Jubilee . This is only what
one might have expected from a body of men than whom " no mortal can more the ladies adore ; " and I am heartily pleased to hear that in many of our influential Lodges committees have been formed to arrange the preliminaries necessary for the thorough enjoyment of the brethren and their female friends . It is customary with many of our Lodges
to arrange summer banquets and excursions , in which the fair sex form so charming an element , and dear are the recollections which many of us cherish of delightful excursions to Richmond , Kompton Park , and many other salubrious spots within easy distance of the metropolis . The same plan exists , though probably not to snch an
extent , in the Provinces , though I have still the happiest reminiscences of such gatherings under the auspices of the good old Humber Lodge , No . 57 , Hull , where these affairs are , or were at auy rate , most energetically and successfully carried ont . In some parts ol thecountry two or more Lodges combine in efforts of this sort , and
thus make up what may almost be designated " monster pic-nics . Athough the reunions are to all intents and purposes M isonic , yeb there is a certain amount of latitude shown on such occasions , and male acquaintances who are not Masons are frequently amongst the invited guests . I have always—though proverbially not a "ladies '
man —entertained a strong opinion that the setting apart of special occasions in which the female part of our family may participate in the social features of onr Institution is a good idea , one that should be encouraged to the utmost extent , consistent with prudence . Such experiments , wherever tried , have invariably proved successful , and
have left a most favourable impression oo the minds of all concerned , and especially our spouses . The tendency of such meetings ia to make the Lodge more popular with home , and when this happy state exists it makes life much more agreable for the Craftsmen . Most ladies have a natural curiosity regarding the Lodge and its workings .
With some there is great confidence that the work and object is of the highest order , yet with others a reverse opinion may prevail . These gatherings must counteract the adverse opinions , and satisfy all that the Lodge is an excellent Institution , where a good work is performed , and where the female is equally remembered . There
can be little doubt that "poor Mrs Caudle formed a much better opinion of Freemasonry after she had been invited to a few of these entertainments—if forsooth there were any in those days—than she did at the time she delivered her famous "curtain lecture ! " Without entering further into the general question of admitting
ladies to a participation in tho social element of Freemasonry , I sincerely trust that the example being set by the members of the Domatic and some other of our moro influential Lodges will be followed during the Jubilee year , and that the " leafy munth of June " •nay witness many a joyous gathering , in sequestered nook and
sylvan glen in the suburbs of London , in honour of the auspicious event . Such an unselfish and liberal means of commemorating the Jubilee would find favour with a vast majority of the Brethren of the Craft , aud none , I am sure , would moro unanimously applaud the idea than the ladies themselves .
I remain , Dear Sir and Brother , Fraternally and sincerely yonrs , V _____ BA _ .,
