Chapter. has restored his grave, and keeps 1t in order.
 Ut is needless to say that the Pensa' cola Chapter is named the Dorothy Wal ton Chapter, and that it will assume the care of the last resting place of Mistress Dorothy Walton.
 "A further chapter in this story is that Dorothy walton's granddaughter. Oc.
 tavia Levert, named the city of Tallahas-
 see, in which town she lived"
 A further chapter can be added to the story which will be of interest to Ala
 bamians is that Octavia LeVcrt is the celebrated Alabama writer and all round
 brilliant woman Madam Levert of Mobile.
 And still further chapter of interest to
 Montsomerians is that the two lovely young women. Misses Grace and Eugenia Walton of Augusta who were the guests of Mrs. R. N. Pitts last winter are great
 grand nieces of Dorothy Walton
 soRosIs LUNCHEON MENUS. When the eldest and most noteworthy
 women's club in this country holds its bi-monthly meeting at the Waldorf-Asto-
 ria in New York. the luncheon menu IS never quite like It's predecessor, says Hes- ter M. Poole in Good Housekeeping for February. Needless to say. it Is always
  for which this hostalry Is famtd. The large rooms in which luncheon is served are decorated with exquisite taste. The electric lights are sufficient, yet not glar- ing, the china Is dainty and gracefully in form, while the crystsl and silver re- fleet and multiply the radiance that per-
 vades the entire establishment and cre- ates an atmosphere in itself. The ciub in question usually takes Its luncheon In a suite of parlors. or in the Astor gallery on the north front. In the latter beauti- fully proportioned and decorated room the literary exercises are now held. At a recent luncheon of Sorosis the menu was as follows: In place Of the stereotyped bouilion or raw oysters. were passed boneless sardines pressed upon oblong pieces of toast These were fol- lowed by mousse de jsmbon. This dish, evid ,ntly made from the essence of ham and gelatin leach ono in circular form. graced with a hot brown sauce). was as pink as the interior of a seashell, and one could hardly believe that the flavor came from that plebeian animal which let its name to the Mousse. Less unique were the dishes which succeeded. Th"re was chicken broiled as never chicken was before. and salad of the heart of lettuce and a tiny legume, and ices of various kinds and shapes. with cakes galore. And-tell 1t not In Gath, to the daughters of King Conventionality-there was after-dinner coffee served in cups holding more than half dozen thmble- fuls each, with hot milk and cream ad libitum. Also to meet the habits of ye elderly danes, pitchers filled with the brew that intoxicates not, yet sets the tongue to wagging like no other draft than this from far Cathay.
 It is good for club women to know what Is served as feast for the body at the meetings of the mother club of wo- mans clubdom.
 HoBsoN's LECTURE TO WOMEN. A Richmo.. d exchange has the following of Capt Richmond Pearson Hobson's lec- ture there to the members of the Wo- mans Club:
 The reception rooms of the Woman 8 Club, at 21l East Franklin Street, were crowded with guests and members to hear Captain Hobson lecture. The audi ence was one of culture and int lligence. and during the two hours talk of the lecturer the closest attention was given him. Captain Hobson was introduced by Dr. J. Allison Hodges. with an appro-
 rendered the distinguished naval officer dear to the American people.
 The subject of the lecture was, "The | United States as a World Power" and | the speaker handled 1t with force and | accuracy acquired by study, observation, and experience. His conception of the
 subject and his expressions would have | been considered Chauvin'stic by a for eigner; to his hearers they were genuine | ly patriotic. His analysis gave evi fence of his mathematical and mechanical trend of thought. While dealing largely in sta- | tistics. he employed this usually uninter- esting material with judgment and clear | ness, and presented to his hearers facts and figures concerning the relative strengths of the United States and the five great European Powers, that were entertaining and instructive.
 Captain Hobsun's d auctions from his investigations of the subject was that the position allotted to the United States by the great Powers of Europe and the world at large would depend upon the strength and efficiency of our navy.
