we were fortunate In securing the SER

repairs, an Easter donation of blank
cts, pads, tablecloths and napkins;
also telephone.
OF our chairman of the industrial
committee, Mrs. Louise Stocking, we
must again give words of commenda-
ton, for the comforters, aprons, ETC.,
planned by her and always on hand
have met with ready sales and added
quite a little to the treasury.
While we cannot report very much
done in the line of any active work.
still we would think of our social meet
ings, held each month, as being the
producer of much happiness. Held at
the home and for the purpose of meet
ing and carrying some little cheer to
the inmates there, who really seem to
greatly enjoy our coming, we have all
been benefited, in that we have come
into closer touch with and obtained a
more intimate knowledge of the ladies'
and their 81 rroundings, some of whom
we have come to enjoy very much. In
eye to present all with Christmas boxes
of candy.
Our chapter now numbers "a, thanks
to the faithful and untiring efforts Of
Mrs. A. A. Robinson.

u. G. Baker, has cheerfully written at
the behest of the chapter, work that
