There were seven charter members, five of whom retain their membership in Chapter E, the other | two now making their home elsewhere.

K., of which Mrs, Joseph C. Weeth is president.

Sisterhood grew out of a band of women who organized first at Mount Pleasant, Ia., at the Iowa Wes- leyan university. | The sisterhood's work is literary, phi- lanthropic and social. One of its best works is accomplished by the scholarship | fund, which aims, to asslst young| women, not necessarily P. E. O.'s, in se- curing an education. Its charitable work is done quietly among those who are too yroud to make the customary applicatioh for ald.

It follows a wide draw in the hills, and much of the land is in grass pasture, The flowers one finds are different and the birds are the kind that like the fence posts and wires, and a little more open and public life. In the drizzle on this Sunday morning each fence -post seemed to harbor its little Dickcissel, with a black tie and yellow breast, minging its persistent song—''See, see—Dick, Dick—Cissel, Clssel.” They were fluffed up, vastly enjoying their free baths. There were dozens of gold- tinches darting about, the brilliant yel- low of their bodies in contract with the black wings, catching one's eye. You on't have to hunt for a goldfinch. The birds with declded markings are easy to determine. It is when the count reaches about fifty that the trouble begins.
