Last .lune our esteemed Secretary represented the Chapter at the annual rneetihg -at Quebec, an excellent report of which appear- ed in. the press at the time. I wish the attention of our people could be more drawn to the prizes offered for the best short story and one act, play that has already appeared in the press.

We miss our former Echoes Secretary, Mrs. Malcom. who \\-u~ so regular in her attendance nud so helpful at ull times. and while we regret her dfpuriure, we are fortunate in isecizrliig our youns' new member in her ir-trod. By the pans-ixig ni Mrs. Gartliiu' r always an earnest worker in tr.-.= order, there remains hut one clinrt- er member in the Chapter'--Iliiss Haviland.

' Regarding the office of Secretary, let me say it is not a very laborious position, but is rather a useful mining, an extension as lt,wex_7e. ot ne's education. No one with a ten year.

One Chapter raised quite a sum by the girls dressing grotesquely and going around the streets with an old hurdy-gurdy!-And lsn't it strange, when you come to think of it, that we have none of those in- struments about Charlottetown? I Before closing, ladies, let me thank you one and 'all for 'your patience and forbearance. There are doubtless inhny things 'you might have w-lshed done differently. but we have done what we could, perhaps nbt always our best but asa well as we could at the moment. To the Secretaries and real staunch Treasurer. and Committees I wish to extend my sincere thanks for their faithful and loyal ser~ vice -which have been given so cheerfully and unsttntedly the first three years. Not any of you quite realize the amount of work that has been done by Mrs. Morrison ln. her dual office. As Provincial Educational Secretary' she .has attended to all the correspondence in connection with the poet~ graduate scholarships. and the Canadln Bursaries which is work enough for one person. he has consented to continue that part of the work ll' relieved _ from the secretarial duties of the Chapter. l would suggest that she tdkes on an* under-study so as to initiate one in the Provincial part of the work. The same may be said. of Miss Deslirisay wlio has so capably and conscientiously looked after the schools and Essays since 1919. One of the younger members might assist her in this important part of our work and thus get an`lns1gh_t into the necessary arrangements. The Executive suggest, that this year our Chapter presents been prizes instead of money, that i_s.- g Mlss.DesBrisay finds those offered bythe National Chapter are sult- esltate to undertake lt, till' it 'D0- iimes lnterestiiygsud gives one are zest in the worn.
