The convention pioper convened in the Congregational chinch of this city at 8.30 Wednesday morning. Conven tion culled to order by Mrs. Maud C. Harrison, state president and dovo Monnl exercises conducted by Mrs. Flora W. Jones, tirst vice-president, after which Mrs Bhiuch Thomas of McCook rendered a very pleasing solo. The address of welcome was deliv ered by Miss KUaCook in a very happy and pleasing manner: Had there been some act assigned me to express the welcome Chapter V leeN for the Nebraska Grand Chapter I lel that I could have performed it more acceptably tlmn by attempting M express in words our happiness in being able to entertain you. We are truly glad to havo joii heie, and we rnu'v the bmelits we will derive and the delightful lriend-diii . we expect to form will compensate u-. for t lie t uioty wv huvv I'Nptfiiei.ced during 6ir pioiurntio .' Ot couise, coming o soon after spriug houseeleuning, we have scarcely had time to embellish our complexions, i-o kindly take for gran'ed that the ( shine on our countenances is radiated i hospitality; if wo havo forgotten to re move the silverware trom under the guest-room mattress do not allow the Joss of one night's rest to worry you, but sit up ftnd admire the new wall paper! Should there be somothing on the menu which yoji cannot read as sume that it is the French word for cream pulls, and if the breakfast Viotisu't suit you in tho morning just say under your breath and in y -ur most cheerful manner: "If it wasn't for the ham I'd like this hi m an 1 eggs- if it wasn't for the eggs." And should you have spring lamb for dinner be not unkind enough to inquire "which upriug?" Ah! three years ago, when we first laid our plans we should have en tertained you! It would bo unkind to tell you what you missed by not com ing then, even had I words to describe the fairyland into which wo would have transformed this old town where Chief Red Cloud ruled his tribes so many years ago. The streets ablaze with beautiful festoons of colored elec tric lights, noted bauds of musicians filling tho air with entrancing melo dies and (lowers and entertainment to overflowing! For your personal con venience there was to be an automo bile at the service of each of you, and ice cream and cold drinks were to bo btrvo'l between each number on the president's program. As for souvenirs they were dainty marguerites of gold, u diamond glistening in the heart of each. A year later wo modified our plans. The convention dates were fet for moonlight nights with the idea of util izing the electricity consumed in il lumination in propelling fans. Then statistics convinced us that horses were safer than automobiles and wo feared the serving of rofroshmonts so frequently would impede tho despatch of business. J no money appropriated lor souvenirs was turned into the meal fund with instructions for the com mittee to buy Lobster Noubnrg. But times havo changed ami wo havo changed. Charles Wagner's intluenco is felt and now the simple lifo is the only lifo for tis. It boing dangerous, we have d'scarded tho use of electric ity in all forms; we are reviving tho lost art of walking and tho committee ou meals reported at our last meeting that they had ! oked up Lobster Neil burg and found it to be a dish ordered at restaurants by people who usually have beans at home; and who are we that wo should sorvu you lobster? 0.ir esteemed president instructed mo to mako my address cordial and cheerful, so in my iittomi t to mako you feel at homo 1 havo oven told the family secrets, and as for tho cheer fulness I havo tried not to respond to that request as did small Bobbie whoso mother whispered to him anxiously: 'Dear, say somothiug cheorful to grandpa for ho is very, vory ill!'' And Bobbio promptly asked, "How'd you like to havo somo soldiers at your fun eral, grandpa?" Again, lot me assure you of our hearty welcome; tho town is yours; help yourselves. When you leave wo hope you will carry with you only pleasant memories. This was responded toby Miss Aunio K. Kyd of Beatrice, corresponding sec retary X. (!. C, in a pleasing an.l able way. About one hundred ladies from dif ferent parts of tho state were in at tendance at the convention with about forty-live chapters ieprcented. Wednesday one of tho treats of the convention was the very able and ex cellent address on Individual Growth," by Mr. Carrie .M. Peterson. Also the round table discussion, "l E. O. Ethics,-' conducted by Mrs. Helen M. Drake, under which the fol lowing subjects were taken tip: Fra ternal, Social, Religious and Educa tional, was pioionted i 1 such manner as to be of much intciest and instruc tive to tho members of tho assembly. Chapter leports followed, being given by the presidents or delegates representing the various chapters-, re lating to the work being done liter ary, social and benevolent. Alo that several chapters have furnished rooms in diiforeut hospitals and in the larger places had furnished Christmas trees laden with gifts, clothing, etc., for the poor children as well as charitable work in a small and quiet way. The "Memorial Hour,'1 in charge of Miss Ida B. Johnson of Lincoln was a touching tributo to tho members of the sisterhood who during tho year have been called to the great beyond. At the openingof this hour Mis. Lillian Parmelce gavo a short but interesting talk on the principles and aims of tho 1'. E. U. and in her earnest and en thusiastic way pleaded for a still closer adherence to these principles Faith, Love, Purity, Justice and Truth. Tiintsnw. Thursday morning convention was called to order at nine o'clock, devo tional exercises conducted by Mrs. Clara M. Wilson, of Omaha, after which Mrs. Florence Mitchell and Mrs. Nolle Grimes rendered a beautiful piano duet. Also vocal solos by M'ss Conway, of York, and Mrs. Thomas of McCook were highly enjoyed. Mrs. Myra L. Grimes, first delegate, gave the report of the supieme con vention. The afternoon session was called to order at one o'clock on account of the ! large amount of business to be trans acted. Miss Mary Osmond, editor of the P. E. O. Record, gavo a talk in her char acteristic way as to the growth of the work in editing our monthly maga zine. Election of oillcers resulted as fol lows: President Mrs. Flora W.Jones, Lin coln. First Vice President Mrs. Myra L. Grimes, Blue Hill. Second Vice President Miss Ella Cook, Red Cloud. Recording Secretary Mrs. Ellington C Britt, McCook. Corresponding Sec retaryMrs. Gertrude Thomas, Sew ard. Treasurer Mrs. Harriet Clear mau, Mindeu. Organizer .Mrs. Clara M. Wilson. Omaha.

The formal reception held at the Masonic hall, last evening, when Chap ter "Y" was "at homo" from 8:30 to 12:30, was ono of tho most brilliant social affairs ever given in Red Cloud.
