DAUGHTERS OF THE CON.
FEDERACY.
Hold Their Annual Meeting
and do Honor to the Memory
of General Robert E. Lee
Result of Tombola Rattle.

Fitzhugh Lee Chapter, United
Daughters of the Confederacy,
celebrated the first anniversary
of its organization and at the
same time 1ttingly honored the
birthday of Gen. Robert Il. Lee,
on Friday, the 18th inst, at
their room in the Frederick Col O..
lege building.
Of the fifty two members only
a few were absent, and the great
est enthusiasm was displayed in
the noble work in hand and pro-
jected. At the business meeting
the reports of the president, sec
rotary and treasurer were read
and each showed material pro-
gress all lalong the line. Espec-
tally satisfactory was the state.
ment made by the treasurer,
showing a substantial cash bal
ance, and a net total of S20O.11
from the Christmas sale. This in
cludes the receipts from the
'"rOmbola RATTLE" which was de-
cided on this occasion. A por.
of the receipts from the "Old
Maids Convention" given under
the direction of Miss Grove, were
sent to the monument fund in
memory of Confederate soldiers
and sailors of the Civil War, in
Baltimore and the balance placed
in the chapters treasury.
The presidents's address cover
ed the entire work of the various
committees singly and in their
entirety. 1t was most interesting,
especially the reference to the
"Baby Chapter" and its growth
from twenty two charter members
to its present proportions.
Considerable business was car
ried over until the next meeting,
owing to the time taken up by re-
ports, luncheon and the drawing
from the "TOmbola Rattle" The
latter took place about 6 o'clock
and was witnessed by a large
number of persons outside of the
chapter who had chances.
DR.. L. b. Smith was the lucky
winner of the fine chatting dish;
Mr.. H. Dorsey Etchison won the
handsome doll, and Mrs. Dixon
Walker the umbrella.
The chapter, after business had
been concluded, enjoyed an ex-
cellent lunch, after which came
the celebration of the birthday
of the hero of the Confederacy.
A program had been prepared,
which was most delightful in
every detail Each member had
something to say of Lee, and Miss
Emma Gittinger was especially
eloquent and entertaining in this
particular Following is the pro-
gram:
Chorus, by the "Baby Choir"
"Maryland;" eulogy of Lee, Miss
MOllie Eisenhauer; poem on Lee,
Mrs. john X. White; chorus,
"Stonewall Jackson's Ways"
cover the River;" "The Last
Words of Jackson" Mrs. VIM.
Anderson; 1.-THE Bonnie Blue
Flag" Mrs. A. r. Yeakle; recita
ton, 1.-The Sword of Lee" Miss
OFT; poem, "The Confederate
Flag" Mrs. L. NJ Nixdortf. The
Fitzhugh Lee chorus consisting
of Mrs. A. r. Yeakle, Mrs. Il. G.
McSherry, Mrs. Baker johnson,
Mrs. VIM. Anderson and the
Misses Eisenhauer, closed the
program with Dixie, the chapter
joining in the chorus.
The election of officers resulted
as follows: Mrs. l.. V. Baugh-
man, President; Mrs E. @. Nc.
Sherry, Mrs. l.. NJ. Nixdorff, vice
presidents; Miss Mamie Floyd,
recording secretary; Miss Flea

PAUL MOREAU VAUTHIER'S REPLY TO THE
CRITICS OF HIS STATUE, CITY OF PARIS.

entrance on the Champs Elysees. The figure,
which is heroic In dimensions being 81 feet high.

wearing fur trimmed mantle. Her headdress is
symbolical of the arms of the city of Paris and
her foot rests on great sphere, which is intended
TO represent the world The top of the statue. Is
100 feet from the ground and the finish and ability
of its execution have not been questioned
by those who have criticised the conception and
fused to accept the statue work of art.
The demands for its removal have been strong,
and have emanated from powerful sources. but the
directors of the Exposition have stood Loyalty by
the sculptor, expressing the fullest faith in his
judgment. and refusing to sanction it's removal.
They contend that il is thoroughly artistic and
trely in accord with the spirit of the Exposition
Regarding the criticisms upon his work. NJ. Vau-
thier recently said:
The main, and, as far 1 ascertain, the only,
objection urged against it is that it ruthlessly vio
ateS all the classic traditions, and that 1t Is
sood art because 1t departs from the beaten paths
1t is matter of common observation that the
choice OF costume in the case of statues is
present his figure in the nude or else array it in
the flowing, classic Greek robes of antiquity
wanted someth hing striking and symbolical Of the
talent the am3ltion and the energy of the woman
of to-day. What had the ancient robes of the
weak, nerveless beauties of ancient Greece in
common with the sef-reliant, talented of
the nineteenth century? | could not reconcile the
two. The inconsistency Jared my nerves. Re
solving not to sacrifice my ideals from a cowardly
fear Of adverse criticism, l boldly discarded the
old conventions and presented the woman of to-
day We all know her in all her radiant glory of
charm, power and beauty.
The sticklers for the ancient for the academic.
may be dismayed, hut content to rest on my
performance, and let the world be the final Judge
of my conception. What difference can it make
whether the statue is dressed in ancient or modern
sarb as long as it truthfuly presents the subject
and pays proper tribute the woman OF to-day
the crowning glory Of the closing century?

Before the grass begins to toss.

Enough to make their frilling.

And all the meadows gladness lies
