This prospective visit of many of the
norgbters of the COME 'eracy in Georg
means that the local chapter cannot put
f,,,b the same efforts or devote the same
entertainment to those who are expected
,1is week with the veterans. The visiting
ladies will by no means be neglected, for
the savannah chapter has already made
o,r,ngements tor their entertainment, the
any difference between their treatment on
This occasion and when they come next Oc-
t,bsr being that they VIII then be the re-
,n;ents of a far greater demonstration of
hospitality
The parlcrs of the Guards Club have
r4sn Daced at the disposal of The local
cbaDter. A numerous commi tee has been
Amounted Dy The CHAP er to assume entire
charge OF that committee Mrs. Mar ct
Branch Sexlon, president of the chapter,
Is The head. She will have entire direction
OF the work at he club, which will cons st
of the general entertainment Of the visit

committees.
one Of the most important of the sub
committees is that which will provide af-
ternoon teas for the visitors. Tea and
cocoa will be served and at the head of
the committee, which viii nave this fea-
ture in hand win be Mrs. Albert Hull II
is expected that many local and visiting
members of the organ cation will be pre-
4 sent to enjoy the teas. The parlors are
d destined to become the headquarters of
a the Daughters of the Confederacy during
the reunion just as the veterans them>
selves will have their headquarters at the
n Armory Hall.
q A feature that will be introduced by
the ladies' will be a bureau of informa>
4 ton at the club and the keeping of a
register upon which every visitor may In
scribe her name and the chapter she rep
resents. This win facilitate the finding
Of friends by any who may expect to meet
them in the city. The register and bu-
eau of information feature has been
highly commended and doubtless will prove
Of great benefit
Mrs. Sexton was seen last night. She
saii that reports have been received from
but few Of the thirty-five chapters in the
state, though she confidently expects that
Il il will be found that every one of them
is represented when the registration has
closed From several chapters it has been
. learned that there will be a large attend
\ ance, and it is stated that the ladies of
the chapter at Marietta purpose coming in
body
Mrs. Rounsaville of Rome, the state
president, who is most charming woman
and one whom the local daughters would
be more than glad to welcome, will moi be
able to attend. She has expressed a de-
sire that no state meeting be he'd in Sa
yannah on that account, and the ladies
have acquiesced. The gathering of the
Daughters at the Guards Club will be
purely informal, taking the guise of a re-
A union for social rather than business pur-
poses No special business is known Of
4 that should demand the attention of
i special meeting of the Daughters of the
i state, so the fact that there will be none
not regretted.
The Savannah chapter, however, will
probably hold a meeting during the re-
union Mrs. S. e. Gabbett of Atlanta,

The most enthusiastic Daughters in the
state, and her great pride and patriotism
are responsible for her now holding a po-

Gaooelt eloquently advocated the nstitu-
