iform size of 20 inches long, 9-3/4 inches wide, and 9 inches thick;
they form the base-line on which the brick wall rests. They thus come a
few feet from the ground, where they may be easily read. Several
Chapters have responded already, and say they are ready to forward
memorials. One of these is the Robert Louis Stevenson Chapter, of
Cincinnati. Another is the William D. Moffatt Chapter, of Oakland, Md.,
a third is the Whittier Library Chapter, of Milwaukee, Wis., and a
fourth is the Eugene M. Camp Chapter, of Brooklyn, N. Y. A society in
Stillwater, Minn., wants to send one, and the Thaddeus Stevens Chapter,
of Philadelphia, who has lost by death the Knight who founded it, may
give a stone as a memorial.

The face of each stone would bear the letters, as: "W. D. Moffatt
Chapter, Oakland, Md.," or, "In Memoriam: R. K. McCullough." It would be
ideal to have enough of these memorials for the entire base-line, so
that a person walking round the building could read the name of many
Chapters from many States. Can't you help? Ask your Sunday-school class
about it, or propose it at your Chapter meeting.

With each stone some contribution should be made. It was suggested that
at least $5 should be given to the Fund; but perhaps it will be as well
to allow donors of stones to give any amount they are able to. Suppose,
this summer, you give an entertainment on the lawn. We can furnish an
easily arranged programme. You can clear $10 easily. You could give to
the Fund one half of it, and have the stone dressed, marked, and
delivered for the other half. Several Chapters are to be represented.
Let's have more of them. Write to us for particulars.

The Decisions of the Founders.

The flood of votes from Founders shows that the original members of the
Order are as interested as ever in its welfare. The Order is, it may be
well to explain, conducted by its members, and finally by its Founders,
who vote on all important matters. Three questions were put to the
Founders. 1. Should the eighteen-year age limit be abolished? 2. Should
there be a new membership certificate to be called a "Patent"--a patent
of noble chivalry? 3. Should the Order have a new badge?

On the first question very sound judgment was exercised, we think.
Indeed, you showed a keener insight and greater breadth than we
expected. There is no doubt about the decision, for it is a three-to-one
one. It is that the eighteen-year age limit be retained; but once
