Savannah Chapter, U. ID. c., Dis
cussed Plans Yesterday.
Discussion of the annual New Years
ball made the meeting held yester-
day afternoon by Savannah Chapter,
u. D. c.. an important and interest
ing one. 1t was especially called for
the purpose of considering the adj
visibility of the ball, and the best
means of preparing for it, and Mrs.
Hull who presided, asked for individual
opinions from each member of the
chapter present. It was unanimously
decided to follow past custom, and
give the ball, which enables the chap
ter to defray, in part, the expenses
of Its charitable and educational work.
Mrs. Hull presented a summary of
the amount donated to such work each
year by the Savannah Chapter. With
between 200 and 260 members, an aver
age total of $500 is distributed an
nually. OF this, $500 goes to local char
ity. Four girls are supported at the
Winnie Davis Memorial School in
Athens, at an expenditure of 5000 a
year. Four pupils are placed in
schools in Savannah, and are supplied
with all necessary books, stationery,
etc. The regular pension list includes
veterans and widows of veterans, who
receive at least $25 d month. The Win
ME Davis Memorial at Athens has be-
come so popular that there is not room
enough for the demand. 1t is, Mrs.
Hull said, the only modern up-to-date
dormitory there, and many more girls
could be taken care of, if there were
rooms in which to put them. The Sa-
Vannah Chapters work in connection
with the establishment of the Memorial
Hail. and it's hearty support of it since
are well known. This is only one
feature of its philanthropic work, for
the continuance of which the annual
ball is given.
1t will take place this year, Dec. 29
at the Guards Hall, and, in view Of
the Iact that so much of the Daughters
work benefits those who were once
military men, it is hoped that the mill
tary of Savannah will take a special
interest in the entertainment, and aid
~ every Way possible. The military
feature will be especially emphasized
.nls year, and all members of the mill
ia VIII be asked to wear uniform.
