Mrs. N. c. Young-"The convention

US to carry out the business Of the

were very grateful for the substantial
addition to HI endowment fund The
ladies' so planned their programmes
that they served as of general
information that was very helpful and
in addition they seeured some excel

proXimately $175 for the endowment

With the entertainment there. In re-
gard to h convention in general /

in the various departments. am

up to time and in a business-like man.
ner. / enjoyed very much the fedora
ton tea. Our visit to the university
was delightful. The domestic science

Il certainly was a beautiful scene.
There were 200 ladies at the tables
and the long hall, where the tea was
served was beautiful and especially
well adapted to such a gathering. it
is called the Commons. The music
was splendid and all enjoyed it thor
oushly. We had a very fine auto ride
miles and the weather was perfect. I

most enjoyable. I also would like To

Hebron west Of the river and is
notable as it shows what can be done
from our WI products. All of the
state schools sent exhibitions and this
shows that our boys and girls are be-
ing taught uscful things in the line Of
sewing and manual training. The ex-
hibits from the school for the feeble
minded at Grafton sold very quickly
n We're especially interesting. Ham
mock work and basketry were most
pronounced and there We're some fine
specimens Of needlework. I helped
sign the formal invitation for the CON
