Eastern Star Order of the Eastern Star. An American Adoptive Rite, called the "Order of the Eastern Star," invented by Bro. Robert Morris, and somewhat popular in this country. It consists of five degrees:

1, Jephthah's daughter, or the daughter's degree;

2, Ruth, or the widow's degree;

3, Esther, or the wife's degree;

4, Martha, or the sister's degree;

5, Electa, or the Benevolent;

Honorary, Queen of the South.

It is entirely different from European or French Adoptive Masonry. Recently, this Order has undergone a thorough organization, and been extended into other countries, especially into South America.
