Sophie Bibb Chapter.

The regular meeting of Sophie Bibb Chapter was held on February f. and was largely attended. Interesting reports from the different committees were heard. The newly elected Registrar has accomplished much, her report proved conclusively that no Chapter is complete without that im- portant officer. Per request of the Chair man on Monuments, a committee of three was appointed to see the Representatives of Montgomery County and enlist their interest and support in the passage of the bill asking an appropriation of $10000 to aid in erecting monuments on the four national battlehelds.
 The Chapter endorsed the work of the Historical Committee and will urge the County Superintendent to endeavor to have the histories of Dr. Wm. Jones and Mrs. M. P. Lee used in our schools. Mrs. Kirkpatrick reported that she had furnished a newly completed room at the Soldiers Home at Mountain Creek. This Chapter is truly alive to the welfare of disabled Veterans, as if furnished a room complete and three of its members have likewise contributed to this work of love. A motion was made and carried that we have a Bidders Convention within the next month. Several new members were received. Owing to the amendment of the Constitution the election of officers will take place in March.

 The Jefferson Davis Chapter held its regular meeting today at the home of the President.
 Our Chapter work moves along smooth ly and quietly, all working together in harmony. New members are enrolled nearly avery month We have been hav- ing readings on incidents in the life of Jefferson Davis. We have now taken up the study of Alabama: the position our State took in the civil war; how many troops furnished. and how many com- misisoned officers? How many battles fought on Alabama soil, and where?
 Will some o6 our literary Veterans Cor Daugtters) who have statistics at hand, enlighten us through our page in The Advertiser? Some of us are old enough
 to know more than we do about 1t, but
 We have forgotten great deal and wish to refresh our own memories and inform our younger members through these stu- dies and discussions.
 Our Chapter celebrated Gen. Robert D. Lees birthday by appropriate exercises. Sketches of his life being read, and reel tations of wartime incidents and the sweet old-time but ever new songs of Dixie and Maryland. My Maryland" were played.
 We are anxiously awaiting the an- nouncement that the Jefferson Davis and

Daughters of the confederacy, Alabame

Daughters of the Confederacy. Alabama Division. U. D. c.
 My dear Co-workers-Mrs. Dowdell, our State President. has appointed me chair | man of the State Committee, to organize Children of the Confederacy Chapters in each city and town respectively in Ala bama as auxiliary to the U. D. c. Chap terS.
 I will quote the recent words of our
 honored President, as a strong stimulus for cooperation. She says: ''The pulse of enthusiasm grows quicker and beats the faster, when we heartily support our State Committees
 True indeed this Is. And since this branch of the U. D. C. work is new to us, 'tis of vital importance to the future prosperity and success of the U. D. c. that we give 1t immediate attention, and work together as a unit for its success. The impressions made in youth are the most lasting. and as we value the order of U. D. c. the sentiment must be trans
 mitted early and assiduously to take root for future endurance in the mind of the child.
 The Auxiliary Children Chapters are to
 be independent, as to their general work.
 The President of each Chapter, U. D. C.,
 must appoint a director from her Chapter
 to supervise and work with the Chil-
 dren's Chapter. The children are to se-
 leot their own name, elect their officers,
 President vioe-President, Secretary,
 Treasurer. etc., make their own programs
 and meet once @ month. Any system of
 work the Director thinks best may be
 followed. so long as 1t relates to the his-
 tory of the Confectionery, her heroes and
 soldiers. Children Chapters should be represented in the State conventions by the Directoress or her substitute. and one
 member of the Chapter. who shall read the report of the Children Chapters to which he or she may belong. The Di- rector Is entitled to all the privileges of
 the floor.
 At the age of r years the membership l of the children Is transferred to the U. D. c. or the Sons of Veterans, as the case may be. As general history deals | mainly with success, and our cause was lost, 1t behooves us to give our every attention and zeal to the teaching and training of our children in the truths of the lofty ambitions, high ideals of right,
 justice and patriotism their fathers so | nobly honored and gloriously lost. | Organize the Children of the Confeder- I acy and thereby enhance the interest of
 the U. D. c. Mrs. F. S. Wood.

Mrs. Verb arose and walked with a
quick, nervous step to the other side of
the room. where, seating herself in
low chair, she rocked back and forth in
an energetic manner.

The door was opened and a short,

night completely worn out from a hard

rails. But, as with the gowns, the
principal effort seems to be to pro-
mote a look of unstudied simplicity,
so, whatever the textures employed,
the models are never elaborate. Some
charming clOaks on the Little Red
Riding Hood order are made of no
more pretentious stuffs than elder
down fiannels, which. with the aid Of
a little handwork, can be made to
have quite an elegant effect.
A delightful cloak in this model was
Of pale pink eiderdown, tied all over
with wool knots in a deeper rose. For
this purpose the ordinary double
zephyr was used, with the knots slip
ped close after tying. A frill of rose
silk edged the bottom Of the shoulder
cape and the front Of the hood and
the same material, hand quilted. lined
the garment. White eiderdown, used
plain and trimmed with swansdown,
will be found charming for this model,
which, of course. should be lightly
wadded with cotton batting to give the
required warmth.
If silk can be afforded, white gros-
grain with ermine trimmings is a SUI
perb combination and one which will
suit older maids, for the simple wraps
seem more the right of the youngest
girls.
The Colonial is the name of a
smart evening pelisse shown by the
juvenile outfftters for maiden wear.
This is charmingly picturesque with
its double capes and high colonial
collar, and if the model is in silk, as it
frequently is. velvet and passemen-
teries may deck it handsomely.
One seen was of a heavy liberty
satin in changeable green, with fac
ings and cuffs of dark green velvet.
Black and white passementerie richly
decked these details, though the stun
ming facings only showed when the
fronts hung open. Fastened, except

1t in place.
Yellow Valenciennes, in narrow in
sertions, was the garniture of the
Swiss gown. These striped the full
skirt up to the knees and completely
barred the bodice whose square neck
was finished with a wider band of lace.
The model of the sleeves, which were
three-quarter length, was very pretty.
Gathered full into the armhole the
upper portions were tied around the
arm with blue ribbons finishing with
bows. Below these close sections fell
pointed elbow frills barred with the
yellow lace. A wide sash of soft, pale
blue ribbon completed the CONNECTION.

Both of these models represent the
latest Whms for girlish evening wraps,
and from the many shop models nu-
merous others may be made. The
loose back box coats give excellent
ideas for the employment of cloth in
pale colors or white, which materials
are frequently left everywhere raw
edged. Untrimmed shoulder capes are
effective with these coats, and they

directed, then fold in a cloth and
stand on ice over night. In the morn
ing roll out very thin and line rather
deep pie plates. To make the filling
for one pie, boil and wash a suffi-
cient quantity of chesrnuts to yield
one-half pint of pulp. Add 1 pint of
milk, the yolks of 2 eggs, a scant "
CUP of sugar and 1 teaspoonful of va
nilla. Turn into the paste-lined dish
and bake in a moderately quick oven
for twenty minutes. For the meringue
beat the whites of the eggs to a stiff
froth. add 2 tablespoonfuls of pow
dered sugar and spread over the top
of the pie. Return to the oven and,
when a yellowish brown, stand aside
to become cold.

pies and place them in the dish, COW

nutmeg over the top layer, add one
half cupful of water, cover with the
paste, in which gashes have been
made, and cook in a moderate oven
until colored a nice brown, which
should take one-half hour. Serve cold
with an abundance of cream.
Sweet Potato Pudding-Northerne
