The question as to the serving of
luncheon TO the visiting delegates came
in for lengthy discussion, there being
advocates both OF placing the entire
matter in the hands of q caterer. and
of the ladies themselves attending 10
the matter. Finally it was decided to
defer action until later date.

that THE Story of the Flag" which
\. & prepared Dy Mrs. Agnes Keller and
Mrs. Isabelle W. Ball. had been printed {
and placed in the hands of Superinten- E;

many interesting matters will come
up for consideration.
