This 104th Imperial Council bookmark relates to the convention of THE SHRINE, which was founded as an all male fraternal organization that could allow grown men occasionally to act as little boys. Its greater purpose though was to fund hospitals for crippled children.
THE SHRINE was formerly known as The Imperial Council of the Ancient Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine for North America - being the letters on the ribbon of this bookmark - A A O N M S.
