Ths iirst session oi the convention
took place Tuesday ntternoon. Juno
iDth when tlio state otllcers met in
executive session.
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.
