THE P. E. 0. CONVENTION
HELD IN DENVER

The p. E. o.'s will hold their state
convention on June 26. 27 and 2s in
Denver. With the $4,000 membership
the national P. E. o. boasts today it
is hard to realize that this wonderful
organization. one of the best known
in the country today, was started by
a small coterie of seven girls, who, on
the eve of graduating. gathered in
the old music room of Wesleyan uni
versity. were deploring the possibility
of losing touch with each other and de-
cided to organize a club-a tie to
bind them always. no matter how far
their paths might lead apart.
This was in the year 1858. and thru
this group of interesting young wom-
en- the organization has spread to its
present membership with chapters in
almost every city of Importance In
the entire country and many of the
smalle rtowns.
OF the seven charter members. four
are still living. They include Mrs.
Mary Allen Stafford of West Liberty,
Iowa: Mrs. Frances Rhodes Elliott of
4017 Lake Park avenue, Grant Sta
tion, Chicago; Mrs. Stella Pearson
Penfield of 1883 Sast Sixty-fifth
street. Cleveland. Ohio. and Mrs. Al

lished from which money is loaned to
girls 10 help them thru college, the
understanding being that they will re-
pay the amount in full. little by little,
as they can.
Thru this 24o girls have been aided
in securing their education in about
ten years. OF this number four have
died, tho the mother of one OF these
insisted upon assuming the obligation
and repaying it. as it had meant so
much to her daughter Seventy-seven
girls are still in school thru the help
OF this fund, while sixty-three have
uuiSncO luelT eQUCattOns ana repaid
the money into the p. f. o. treasury
Membership is by invitation only,
and Mrs. George W. Musser is state
president of Colorado. while Mrs. Hell
en- NJ. Drake of Beatrice. Ne6. is su-
preme president.
There are forty-two chapters in
Colorado and six in Denver. al of
which will send two representatives
TO the convention. This, with mem
bers of the state board and past state
presidents. promises a large gather
ing Of the p. E. o's in attendance
at the convention. and the occasion is
being looked forward to with much
interest and enthusiasm not only by
p. E. o.'s. but by their friends and
other prominent organizations of the
city.
The delegates from Canon City

Clyde Farmer and Mrs. T. c. Under

Cowpeas or Southern field peas,

kind of nOurishment contained In
them, and can. in the opinion Of spe-

extensively as human food. They are
commonly used In the South, where
they are extensively grown. but are
practically unknown In the North and
Northwest. where other, often more
expensive. beans are consumed in large
quantities.
There are many varieties Of COW
peas. OF which the white and black-eye
sorts are considered particularly de-
sfrabie for the table. In paiatability,
,iigestibility and nutritiye value they
compare rHvorHoiy with otner Deans,
while their delicate and pleasant flavor
leads many to consider them equal, II
not superior. to the latter.
Cowpeas are used on the tnble In
three forms-In the pod. shelled green
and sheiled dry-corresponding. re-
spectively. to string beans. shelied
green beans and dried beans. and call
ing for much the same methods of
preparation for the table. The dry
cnwpcas are by far the most common.
Like dry navy or Lima beans, cow
peas may be boiled with a bit OF fat

for numerous dishes. They may be

ACADEMY
ALUMNAE
BANQUET

The fourteenth annual banquet of
the alumnae of Mt. St. Scholastica's g
academy was held on the lawn Sat
urday evening. June 18th. at S
o'clock. While no set program was
given. the event proved to be one of
unusual pleasure for the thirty or
more guests present.
The members of the association
came from all parts OF the state and
from other states for the occasion.
Short talks and musical numbers
were included in the post .prandial pro-
gram.
Happy "reminiscences and joyful in
cidents OF the days that are past were
related by the score, adding much to
the Jollty of the dinner. Students of
the academy and the sisters served a
splendid menu.
Many OF the graduates are married
and have children. while others have
become sisters. Out of the total at
least eight have taken the veil, seven
n the Benedictine order and one in
the Dominican order
At the business meeting 1t was de-
cided to form an auxiliary to the reg
ular association so that those who
have graduated from the special
courses given by the school could be
included as alumnae. Ten members
we're accepted under this new ruling
and many others will be in the near
future. II is expected that the ros-
ter will number close TO one hundred
members because of this addition. The
association also voted TO join the In
ternationaI Alumni Association of
Catholic Schools and Colleges.
Mrs. James Farley OF Florence was
present as a special guest and de
lighted the diners with several vocal
.0ios.
During the after dinner talking IL
was brought out that forty children
have been born TO the members who
have married and seventeen of these
were present at the academy Satur-
day.
