success Of this convention, who with
the assistance OF others made an ever

much to regret. The next convention
will be held in St. Paul July, 1907.
One of the main features of the con-
vention that attracted considerable at
tention was the exhibit of arts and
crafts, which were displayed in the
rear of the church, where very excel
lent work In embroidery, lace. raffia
weaving and cooking was shown.
