LADIES' AID.


Progress of the Society In Different States
The members of Ladies' Aid Society, l. which
is ali auxiliary to Gen. John A. Logan Camp, 2
s. of v, Washington, ID. c., held All informal
reception recently at the residence of Miss Lula
Smith. the President of the Society. Invita-.
tiOns had been sent to different Camps of s. oil
V. of the city, and also to the different Ladies'
Aid Societies. and quite large crowd were
present. The parors were appropriately and
very neatly decorated with American flags and
plants, which looked very nice under the gas
light. The evening opened with music, and
many instrumental selections were played
These we're followed by comic songs. About
10 o'clock Miss Lula Smith invited the guests
present to fall in and march to the dining
room, where they enjoyed a fine collation.
The tables were very tastefuily decorated and
covered with all the delicacies of the season.
After supper was over, the guests enjoyed
dancing until late hour. The interest mani
tested by the members of the different Ladies'
Aid Societies shows that they are willing and
anxious TO help their brothers in the grand
and noble work for which their Order was
fouDded-that of caring for the veterans OF
the late war; and such gatherings as this help
to strengthen the friendship which exists be-
tween the two organizations.

below our camp there was small stream OF

ambulance before getting to camp. For several
DAYS before he arrived it bad rained bard and
the creek was very rapid at the crossing. While
driving through. his ambulance was overturned
in the stream and his safe, money and al.

Union Defenders Day-New Camps and
Charter Applications.

The Commander-in-Chief in General Orders
No. l, quotes the opinion of the Judge Advo-
cate-General rs to whether there IS conflict
between Decision v, in relation to the rein
statement of dropped members under 81 years
of age, aud Decision XXI. of COMMANDMENTS
Chief Weeks. The opinions of the Judge Adyo-
cate General In which the COMMANDMENTS
Chief concurs. is that there is no conflict be-
tween the two. The decision of Past Conn
mander-i Chief Weeks to the effect that .
former member applying for reinstatement
must pay years dues to the Camp in addition
to the regular muster fee, and the decision OF
Commsnders-n-Ch Chief Maccabe regarding the
eligibility of dropped members under 81 years
of age do not conflict
:" The term dropped member Is clearly a
nisnomer. II distinguishes one who has at
some time been connected with the Order from
one who has never been a member, implying
nothing as to actual present status III reference
to the Order, except the one pOint-that he
must pay the amount of his debt to the Camp,
otherwise coming into the Order as new
member.
The decision of Commander-in-C Chief Mac
cabe referred to was not expected to cover this
point. 1t WAS only as to the eligibility of
dropped members under 81 years of age TO be
reinstated before attaining the now required
age of 81. even though they complied with all
other requirements Of the Camp rules and regu-
lations regarding reinstatement"
