 The
Philadelphia club publication, Quaker Rotes,
has
the following item about the marriage of the second president of the
International Association: "Guess Glenn Mead wasn't laughing in his
sleeve on Ladies Night when Stewart McFarland was giving him a form of
proposal that he claimed 'would turn the trick.' For Glenn had already
'gone and done it' He was then an engaged man. Mrs. Mead was formerly
Mrs. Agnes Auchinvole of Pasadena, Cal."
