DEPARTMENT OF OHIO.

Among the most earnest workers are the three
Past Presidents, Mrs. Minerva E. Ewing, Past
Senior Vice-Presdent o.! the Department; Mrs.
Ida Z. Kline and Mrs. Cornelia K. Duke. Mrs,
L. NJ Kicker having served US faithfully aud satls-
fRetorily President during the past year, re-
elected to the Office aud with the assistance Of her
bright and efficient Secretary Mrs SiICox, she
hdently expects growth, abundant good work and
continued harmony. 1t was my pleasure to install
the officers of this Corps Friday evening, Jan.
90 and to participate In the Campfire which fol-
lowed.
The beauty OF the installation service was greatly
enhanced by the excellent music of marches, rem
dered by Mrs. Mira Ryan during ali the moyements
of the Conductor. Mrs. Lizzie W. Whitney elected
much welldeserved praise for the military precision
with which she discharged her duties as Conductor
This Corps is specially honored with the member
ship of Mother Elizabeth Kendall who, although
aged 81 years, is thoroughly loyal and active In
this glorious work for the boys she was when
initiated on her 18th birthday, two years ago.
Another Mother who brings blessing and honor
to the Corps is Mrs. Mary z. johnson, who was
one OF the noted wHTworkers of Portsmouth, and,
like Mother Kendall, her presence ia like bene-
dicton to the Corps meetings
This Corps is highly favored with ladies OF ex-
cellent musical ability, which was shown in the
charming solos sung by Mrs. Ryan and Mrs. OHeh,
both Of whom possess rare soprano voices.
Bailey Post and Corps provided Christmas din-
ner for 30 soldiers children. The spread was pro-
pared by of the best caterers and served in the
restaurant dining-ball. The menu for the childrens
dinner comprised turkey, oysters, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes corn, cranberry sauce, celery, cod-slaT,
pies, pudding, cakes, oranges and confectionery,
and ali of the best quality.
Gr. ana MIS- Kline rendered the DepArtnSEt
President o'clock morning reception which
largely attended by Post and Corps And
rarely has 1t been my privilege to enjoy such hos
pitality and cordially extended by these friends
