Informal Reception.
The reception rendered the dele
gates by Chapter X at the home of
the local president, Mrs. A. P. Spen-
Ger, was very pleasant affair, and
afforded all in attendance an oppor-
tunity to form new and renew old &C
quaintances. The spacious home was
tastefully decorated for the occasion
with the colors of the order and dur
ing the evening light refreshments
were served. A large star, embel-
lished with electric lights, hung at
the entrance to the porch and babe
welcome to the guests. The occasion
was informal in every way, but thor
oughly enjoyable.
| Notes and Personals.
Thanks to Mayor Wray the paved
streets of the city are in fine condi-
ton, and the delegates have enjoyed
drives over town in the many ele.
CANT turnouts that have been placed
at their disposition.
1t was unfortunate that the Dark
town MINISTRIES and the informal re-
ception came on the same evening,
though many of the delegates divid-
ed their time between the two en-.
tertainments, and enjoyed both.
Mrs. Judge Carter, of Rock Rapids,
is a representative of Chapter Al.
Mrs. Garter will be remembered as
Miss Clemmie Perdue, former Oska-
loosa lady. Her relatives and many
friends here are always glad to see
her. .,.. ...... . ...
Each member of Chapter X may be
distinguished by little resette of
yellow and white ribbon. The
Brothers-in-law, who inc lude hus-
bands, brothers and beaux are en-
titled to wear little bow of the
same colors.
The change of time of holding the
State conventions from June to May,
is appreciated by those who have at.
tended former conventions. Here.
tofore the weather has been so warm
that meetings were robbed of much
Of their pleasure.
The reception to be rendered the
members of the convention by the
Eastern Stars this evening promises
to be very pheasant occasion. 1t
will be held in the Masonic lodge
rooms, which are elegantly furnish
ed and conveniently arranged for the
purpose.
Dinner and supper for the dele
gates were served today by the ladies
of the st. James Episcopal church,
in the basement of Central M. E.
church, and Central M. E. church
will serve tomorrow and next day,
at the same place. The local chap
ter bears the expense of the enter
tainment.
Chapter Y, of this city, is proud of
the fact that it has among its mem
bership the President of the Supreme
Chapter, Mrs. Walter Campbell. The
Order is the largest independent
secret organization of women in the
world. Though it's membership is as
yet confined to the United States,
chapters are organized from New
York to California.
Among the delegates is the familiar
face of Mrs. G. w. Ogilvie, of Des
Moines, former Oskaloosa lady,
and well known literary worker. She
will be better remembered by all
here as Miss Carrie McAyle, and a
large number of young people recall
with pleasure the days they spent
under her tutorship. Mrs. Ogilvie is
still engaged in newspaper and maya,
zine work, and is prominent mem
Der of the Women's Press Club O
Des Moines. She is reporting thu
convention for the Iowa Capital.
