And managed her household with marvellous ease.

To make her home perfect, as each OF Us ought;
Nor let servants ride her. nor shO pkeepers say
Just that she should buy and how much she should

president of tie Department OF the Potomac
she promptly resigned the office ofpTesident
of Potomac Corps, much TO the regret OF the
members, but in the election of Mrs. Edgar
to fill the vacancy, which election was held
this week, the corps has selected a worthy
successor. Mrs. Edgar appointed as her
secretary Miss Ruth Hamilton, a bright
young High School girl, the youngest
member of the Older to hold so responsible
q position. She is the daughter of an old
soldier, who less than three mOnthsa go,
was mustered into the Grand Army above
and she is aTdently interested in the work
Her appointment is q practical exempIifica-
ton of the policy OF utilizing new blood
in the W. r. G. work.
Mrs Bessie Boone Cheshire was elected
to fill the vacant chair of senior vice preSi-
dent of the corps, an office she is pre-
eminentIy well fitted to occupy, being a
woman CO culture, broad philanthropc
ideas, and devoted to the interests of the
old soldier. Mrs. Elizabeth Montis, who
was secretary of Burnside Corps, also re-
signed, as she felt that it was not fitting
for her to hold both that and the office OF
senior vice president OF the department.
Mrs Hamilton and her staff have visited
a number Of the corps and on wednesday
evening were guests of honor at the ''at
home of Lafayette Corps, given to Henry
Wilson Post, of the Soldiers Home, in re-
turn Tor COurleSles EXTENDED 10 them at

Moore, ,attendedinuniform and the occasion
was a marked success. John a. Logan
Corps, of Anacostia; Lincoln, and Burn
side Corps have been visited and all are in
a prosperous condition, numerically and
financially.
Mrs. Hamilton has the advantage Of her
sister department presidents, for she can
round up every corps in her department
in person in two weeks time If she likes,
and she eyinces a disposition 20 DO it.
1t is of material benefit to both depart
ment and corps to be able to do this, and
the Innovation is hailed with every mark
OF approval.
