Society—excerpt
   An event of much interest for February 22 is a tea
to be given at Miss Ransom’s studio, 915 F street,
from 4 to 10 o’clock, for The Post’s Mary Washington
monument fund. Society ladies will assist in
receiving, with twenty young ladies, many of them in
Mary Washington gowns; gentlemen in Continental
costumes, old-time plantation melodies, a splendid
supper, dancing, and the presence of Mrs. Talmadge, a
great grandniece of Washington’s, and many of the
Masonic fraternity, who will call during the evening.
   Mrs. Clarkson, wife of the Assistant Postmaster
General, who was the first to subscribe to the Mary
Washington monument fund, will contribute to the tea
on the 22d and assist in receiving. Tickets for sale
at Morrison’s bookstore, 1334 F street.

Pythian Grand Lodge.
Opening of the Annual Session Last Night in Grand Army
Hall.
   The Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of the District
of Columbia met in annual session at G.A.R. Hall last
night, Grand Chancellor William Brockhazen presiding.
The following officers of the Grand Lodge were
present: E.C. Gill, G.V.C.; ___ Henney, G.P.H.; W.H.
Mohler, G.M. of Ex.; A.F. Medford, G.K. of R. and S.;
W.F. Mockbee, G.M. of Arms; Turner, G.I.G.; Hall,
G.O.G.
   The regular order of business was suspended and a
charter granted to Capital Lodge, No. 24; then
representatives were duly admitted. The report of the
Grand Chancellor was a voluminous document, full of
true Pythian principles and solid advice to the order.
The order has increased in the District 20 per cent
during the past year, and $5,000,000 have been paid to
widows and orphans through the endowment rank since
its organization. Another session will be held
to-night at 7:30 o’clock.

Suing for His Son.
A Question of Relationship to be Settled by the
Courts.
   Justice Montgomery yesterday granted a writ of
habeas corpus directed to Charles C. Kimball and
returnable before him today at 3 p.m. The petitioner,
Rufus I. Eckerson, states that he is the father of
Edgar Eckerson, now under the exclusive control of
Charles C. Kimball at 437 O street northwest, and who
denies the petitioner’s right to the child. Mr.
Eckerson states that he is about to remove permanently
to Portland, Ore., and wishes to take the child with
him, but that Kimball declines to deliver his son to
him.
   The child is but fourteen month’s old and has been
in charge of Mr. and Mrs. Kimball, its grandparents,
since the death of Mrs. Eckerson.
