__________________
The officers of a Commandery should wear black clothing, and during the conferring of the Orders should be fully equipped as Knights Templar. The Prelate should wear the regulation Robes during the entire ceremonials.
The members of a Commandery should wear black clothing. Light clothing is not in harmony with the Order of the Temple, nor is it becoming under the regulation uniform.
The Guards must be fully equipped as Knights Templar, and never appear on duty in fatigue uniform.
When the Guards put on dark robes over their Templar equipments, and replace their chapeaux with soft hats, they become Hermits. The Hermits, thus robed, should represent aged men.
When the Pilgrimage ends the Hermits doff their robes, and they are in full Templar equipments as soon as they put on their chapeaux.
