We shall notice, as formerly, eggs of the Penguin, eagle, crow, and ostrich.
Delayed Chapter Reports.
60, Pigeon Cove, Mass. We have not lost a member from our books since you first enrolled us, and although at present we are all so occupied by our daily work that we can not hold regular meetings, we all look forward to the time when we shall be able to begin again.—Charles H. Andrews.
150, Flushing, L. I. Our Chapter has not been very active during the past year, but I hope in the near future to build up a lively Chapter. Father and Mother will help me.—Frances M. L. Heaton, Sec.
189, W. Medford, Mass. The Chapter is still in existence, and is holding meetings every week.—Daisy G. Dame, Sec.
257, Plantsville, Conn. We have been very successful; meetings full of interest and well attended. Our last paper on "Crystals" was by E. N. Walkley, who illustrated the subject by plaster casts. We have a good male quartet in our Chapter; also gentlemen who play on the violin, flute, piano, and 'cello, so we can have a good time if we want it, at any meeting.
We have just papered, painted, and whitewashed our room, and intend to give an entertainment to procure funds to buy a new carpet (Bravo!)—Albert L. Ely, Pres.
287, Ottawa, Ill. Our members are scattered, some in college, most of the others going soon; but we do not wish to be counted out of that society from which we have received so much pleasure and profit.—Edgar Eldredge, Sec.
331, New Orleans, La. This Chapter has passed through severe trials, being sustained at one time by only two earnest members, but it is now triumphantly successful. It is unique in that it has for its president a gentleman, Mr. P. M. Hoit, who lives in Santa Barbara, California, more than fifteen hundred miles away from the Chapter. He sends plans of work, rules of order, by-laws, etc., and really governs the Chapter, with which he first became acquainted through a letter asking about exchanges. The Chapter has over 600 specimens.—Percy S. Benedict, Sec.
