The Regent, Mrs Kearney, was in the chair. Before election of officers, several items of business were disposed of. At the last meeting, the Chapter made a donation of $25 to Monument Fund in town, and a com. was ap pointed to interview monument com. as to the most urgent needs for the further beautification of this spor. Mr Jackson is most anxious that a flag pole be erected on the grounds and if the Chapter would do this, he would donate a flag suitable for the purpose. While the com. have some funds on hand, the I. O. D. E. are the only Society who now coniribute to the fund and feels very strongly that if the Chapter would work hand in hand with the com., something might be accomplished. It was decided to purchase flag staff in the meantime and a com. from the Chapter is to see Mr. Calder as to what he really wants the 1.0.D.E. to do The Chapter‘s room at Hospital is to be freshly decorated. The Society elose the year with a balance of nearly $200 on hand. The many avenues of philanthropic work found the Chapter ready and practical sympathizers and locally, as well as in its allegiance to its head officlals, it has sought to keep the beacon light of the Chapter, i. e., "devotion to Flag and Empire" be fore its members. During the year the Society lost by death one of their most valued members, Mrs. R. Burâ€" nett, and her presence and counsel have been missed by each and every one of its members."
