 To get this convention to Westerly required considerable activity on the part of the delegates from Lady Leslie lodge, and much ldevolved upon the members in preparing proper recep- cal lodge was equal to the emergency and the arrangements for the con- vention proved a success through the energetic efforts of Mrs. Bessie Rear don, chairman and a committee com posed of Mrs. Bessie Stillman, Mrs. Bella Sawyers, Miss Ruth Archie and Mrs. Margaret Greenman.
 The grand lodge is composed of chief daughters of the order. the past chief daughters are delegates t-large and the convention is made up of these and the. representatives of subordinate lodges with a total membership of 5000 in the United States and Cam ada.
 The first session of the convention was held Tuesday afternoon, with Mrs. Katherine Mitchell of Kearney. N. J., grand chief daughter, presiding. Af- ter the formal opening of the grand lodge. there was initiation of chief daughters into membership and the transaction of routine business which included the reports of officers. From these reports it was shown that the organization is progressing and was never in better condition. At the open ing business session the grand chief daughter congratulated the sisters on the large attendance, which evidenced interest in the advancement of the order and all 1t represented. She real s-@ At, -I-e F~.~~ distance to attend the convention did so at a personal sacrifice. and 1t served to prove that the Scotch wo- men of this country were loyal to Bon nie Scotland as well as to the country of their adoption. Mrs. Mitchell urged the women to stand fast to the prin- ciples of the organization, and thus, aid each other in time of distress and pre- serve forever the good name of old Scotland.
