The second meeting OF San Jacinto
chapter, d. r. T., was held at the resi-
dence of Mrs. ]. r. Fem with the presi-
dent, Mrs. j. j. McKeever, Jr., in the
chair. Miss Annie Hume made her first |
appearance as secretary of the chapter
and acquitted herself with much credit. |
The president announced the welcome
fact that the State of Texas had consum-
mated the purchase of that part of the
San Jacinto battle field known as the
Havermehl tract, and now owned all of
the desired land except six acres. This
was, of course, highly gratifying to the
chapter, as it begins to look as if their
long delayed hope of having the battle-
| field preserved and transmitted to the
generations to come was really to be
fulfilled Now the fencing and care of the
property is to be taken up, and hope Of
aid from the National government is be-
ing entertained. With this in view com
mittee formed OF Mrs. W. E. Kendall,
| chairman, Mrs. Adele Looscan and Mrs.
Margaret H. Foster was formed to Spy
out the land" and open the way for work
of the chapter in that direction Mrs NJ.
Urwitz and Mrs. l.. w. Craig were APP
pointed q committee to draw up resolu-
tions OF sympathy with Sidney sherman
chapter of Galveston on the loss of life
suffered during the storm, and Mrs. Ur-
WITT kindly agreed to gather up all the
facts possible connected with the relation
of Texas to the Louisiana purchase.
I Mrs. George Berleth was welcomed az
nuw member and the names of Miss
Willeen Groce. Miss Kate Morris and
Miss Lucy Brady also given in as others
who would send in applications for men,
bership. Mrs. Fem served a cup of coffee
with cake to her guests, being of the OH
order of the South-people who objected
to seeing their guests depart without
bite or sup to whom hospitality was
one Of the cardinal virtues.
