Installation - theycalled it. First there were the practices which had much stumblingabout. By the last one, they knew exactly where to stand, what tosay and when to move. Second, I was replicated into many morepieces to adorn eight Sisters and to give away at two weB attendedInstallation Ceremonies at Lady Canton #362 and Wysox #443.There, too, I say much Courtesy, Grace, Laughter and Affectiongiven to my "wearers." AND the food - Jcould get really eloquenthere: human food has that variety. We butterflies have our ownmenu, y'know.The Ritualistic beauty of the Sisters' activities is truly Inspiringand Up-lifting.
