unused to weep Mrs. Chapin's
record is wonderful nsary. Her
constant journeys in trying to meet
the demands upon her time, and
fill even a part o. the engagements
made for her would have exhausted
an ordinary worker long ago. She
has under her supervision the fif-
teen southern States, in eight of
which and the District of Columbia
she has visited during the last four
months. Maryland was fortunate
to secure even a flying visit from
her en- route to meet the National
Executive committee at Lake Bluff,
beyond Chicago, where she is to
speak. Since her face has been turn
ed northward invitations have pour~
ed in from the north and west. Ali
rejoice that she has refused to give
up the temperance work even tor an
editorial chair, but as she is mortal
those who love her have cause to
fear nervous prostration from over
work, and arc urging her to take IL
needed rest.
We congratulate Charleston S. c.,
that can claim such q daughter. We
join in the universal reverence for
such unselfish noble life work, and
love to remember the record of her
golden deeds during the confedera-
cy. Her praise is on many a lip
and her name remembered in many

mixed up she couldn't understand
them, thought all tics were horrible,
and politics the worst of all.
