Chapter X, p. E. O., met Saturday
afternoon with Mrs. Lizzie Blackford
and Miss Maggie Hoffman,. Reports
of the Grand Chapter convention held
in Burlington last week were given by
the president, Miss Nellie Wray. and
Miss Fora Tice, delegate. The re-
ports were Interesting and complete.
Chapter X was strictly to the front
at the convention. Mrs. Mary Allen
Stafford appeared on the program
with a paper entitled Suggestions
from p. E. o.. Mrs. Effie Hoffman
Rogers read paper entitled, Eye
Shall Know Them by, Their. Fruits,
and Mrs. Florence Butler gave read
ing. While Chapter X has the honor
of being able to claim Mrs Stafford
upon it's roll of members, yet it is
recognized that she is distinguished
member of the entire Sisterhood and
as such was sh0wered with flowers
and many loving attentions while in
Burlington. The local Chapter was
proud indeed of its representation at
the state convention. Following the
reports, little time was spent in re,
viewing the bylaws and standing rules
of Chapter X, finishing off with quiz
on the P. E. o. constitution. During
the latter it was clearly evident that
the attention given to this subject
during the last two years was well
worth the time. A knowledge of the
working plan of any organization in
variably adds to the interest manifest
ed by it's members. The standing
committees for the coming year have
been appointed Much real work
naturally falls to the program com
niittee. The members of this com
mittee are as follows: Mrs. Minnie
Lofand. chairman, Miss Eda Haskell
Mrs. Kate Barnes. Mrs. Elgin Schee
Miss Rebecca Heinsfurter. With
this efficient group Chapter X may be
well assured of an excellent and at
tractive outline for 1894 The
meeting Saturday was large. Dainty
refreshments we're served by the
hostesses.
