The following is the annual report of the Scugog Chapter, Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire, for the year ending, February 1, 1924. During the -past- year- the Scugog Chapter held nine regular and four executive meetings, over all but one of which our Regent, Mrs. Jackson, presided, and the goodly attendance and perfect harmony, that prevailed throughout all the meetings, enabled the society to accomplish much. In April the Chapter 'moved to more commodious and better fitted quarters and Mrs, Davis, one of our members very kindly caused to be decorated and nicely furnished an | adjoining roomfor our use, gratis, as a rest room. From a social point of view alone, the existence of the Society is well merited; for three parties and one dance given by them afforded the townsfolk much pleasure. While the Chautauqua was here the Chapter sold ice cream, cool drinks and candy from a booth near the tent. Through the Society's efforts, a service, commemorating Greaf Britain's greatest naval victory, was held on April 28rd, and on Thanks- giving Day a suitable Armistice Ser- vice was conducted. On June 3rd the Chapter held a memorial service and, assisted by the Boy Scouts, decorated the soldier's graves. Six hundred poppies, made by the French war-orphans were sold. Three prizes, educational books, were given for the three best essays written by pupils of the Fourth Grades of Port Perry Public School, on, "The Most Interesting Story in and, when necessary, brought supplies to the sick; while the Child-welfare| away leaving fitty-four a on the roll; but five new members were added, so we begin the new year with fitty-nine members, After this brief survey of the year's activities, it is hoped the mem- bers will feel their efforts have not |: been in vein and enter the next year's | work with renewed enthusiasm and determination lo make the Chapter greater in numbers and good deeds.

Put self behind, turn tender eyes, Keep back the words that hurt and and sting, ' We learn, when sorrow makes us wise, Forbearance is the greatest thing. Be patient lest some day we turn Our eyes on dear one fast asleep, And whisper as we learn and yearn, "How often I have made you weep! "Some loved you not and words let fall, That must haye pierced your gentle breast, But I, who loved you best of all, _Did hurt you more than all the rest." One lesson let us bear in mind, * To hold our home-folk close and fast, Since loyal hearts are hard to find, And life and love so soon are past. reste (Ypres.
