were to entertain the party celebrating the interesting anniverSAy, only two hundred persons were included in the invitations. So that there were pres ent the members of the chapter, the descendants of Col. Vim. Bratton and few outsiders.
 We can imagine the interest with which the participants viewed the old Bratton home which is still standing. Losing gives an account of the spir- it and courage ofSMrs. Bratton. Huck rudely asked her where her husband was. Tn Sumter's army was the prompt reply. Huck then tried to win her to the royal cause, or force her by threats to disclose the place of her husbands retreat. She firmly refused, even when a reaping- hook was at her throat in the hands of a brutal soldier. This courageous conduct is still remem- bered with reverence in that section" The Rev. MT. Sims says that he has seen this reaping- hook, which is still preserved in the Bratton family. In the address, made at the unveiling of the monument, the sequel to this act of barbarity was related. It seems that after the battle, Colonel Bratton was informed that Captain Adamson, one of the British prisoners, was the man guilty of this cruel act. He and Cap tain Chambers were about to put the man to death, when the prisoner mosT earnestly begged that Mrs. Brattop should be sent for, as he was sure that she would clear him of this charge. This was done, and when the facts were es- tablshed through Mrs. Bratton's tes- timony, the prisoner who had been wounded was carried to the Bratton home, and as 1t had been his interven- tion which had saved the life of this brave woman, she repaid his act of re- spect and mercy by tender care and consideration.
 The monument bears witness to the loving remembrance of the Kings Mountain Chapter of the noble example of this heroic patriot. On one side the inscription reads:
 To the Memory of
 Martha Bratton,
 Wife of Col Wm. Bratton.
 Loyal in the face of Death.
 Brave in the hour of Danger. Mcrciful in the Moment of Victory, On the other side are two inscrip- tions:

Folding Baby Carriages.

That necessity is the mother of in- vention is nowhere proved more con clusively than in the furniture which Is designed for the modern flat. Progress has been as rapid in the line of baby coaches as in any other. A few years ago the only kind of baby coach known was the big oldfashioned willow one. that took up too much room and was far too clumsy and heavy for woman to handle easily. Then came the Httle go-cart, which was hailed by mothers with delight. The latest in this line is A folding one that shuts up almost like a camp chair and can be stored in corner of a closet.

Report of National Congress. By Regent of Mobile Chapter, May l

1905.
 The fourteenth Continental Congress of the National Society Of the Daugh- ters of the American Revolution was opened Monday morning, April l7th' in our new Continental Memorial Hall. I wish every daughter here could have been present. For the first time in the history of our organization, we met in a. hall of our own, a home for all the members, and a beautiful memorial for our heroes and patriots.
 The building Is still far from com pletion-and the Saturday before our Congress, strolled in to get some idea of the plan; my heart sank within me when I realized all there was to be done to make it possible for us to meet there Monday. Certainly, we owe a debt of gratitude and thanks to the Memorial Continental Hall Committee. The floors were covered temporarily with boards and sometimes they were a little shaky and many dresses were torn from splinters; the chairs were very hard, and the backs easily brok- en, but the effect was very fine and pleasing, and we Daughters were filled with pride and satisfaction.
 The walls were completely covered with flags, the four boxes on each side of the stage beautifully decorated with great American flags, festoons of
  greens artistically arranged, and the boxes were filled with representatives of nearly every State in the Union and several foreign countries. The stage was banked with the most beautiful roses. potted plants and palms.
 Monday morning crowds of eager earnest and splendid looking women were seen hastening to our hall. Seats were reserved on the stage for those who were to take part in the exercises, in the boxes for officers and ex-officers and all the seats in the main part of the auditorium for the members of the Memorial Continental Hall Committee At 10 o'clock the President General, Mrs. Charles W. Fairbanks, was es- corted into the hall by the ever faith full Minutemen, acting as guard of honor.
 She was received by the members of the society standing. the orchestra of the Marine Band playing-"Star span gled Banner"
 The bugler called the meeting to order and the program for the formal dedication of the Continental Memorial Hall was taken up.
 Patriotism formed the keynote of the ceremonies in the formal dedication of Continental Memorial Hall. The Hall was crowded with members and their friends. more than seven hundred del- egates, the national officers, the State regents, chapter regents, and many hundred alternates filled the edifice The galleries were crowded to over flowing with visitors. The sight was a grand inspiring one, l feel sure every daughter present was proud of the great organization. proud of our Continental Memorial Hall, and thank full that she was a witness to such a continuation of our hopes and wishes.
 Monday afternoon at o'clock, the Congress was formally opened for bus mess by the President General; prayer by the chaplain Mrs Hamlin; address oE welcome by President General.

CHAPTER REPORT.
Mobile Chanfer.

MODIEG Cnapters
 The monthly meeting of this enthu- siastic chapter was held the afternoon of Saturday, May IS. at o'clock. The attendance was good for the pro- gram promised excellent entertainment and the chapter was alert to hear the report of the Regent of the greatest National Congress known in the nis- tory of the organization. A few out siders were present through invitation and entered very heartily into the spirit of the members. The exercises opened with an invocation by the Chaplain, followed by the singing of America by the entire assembly. The Regent gave her report which was received with the liveliest interest. Then followed readings by two pupils of the Franklin Street public school. The first was The General and the Corporal" by Josephine Pennington, dear little girl only eight years old, whose effort was received with great applause; the second, "A Day to be Re- membered," by Vernon Prewitt, man. ly little fellow of eight, whose ring ing tones elicited admiration and sym pathy. Both of these little patriots were showered with compliments, for their fine reading and their apprec1a- tion of the points in their selections.
 Miss Morris Clarke, the beautiful
 
 chapter, read the account of the Mont gomery Convention of 1S61,H written by her grandfather. Judge William E. Clarke, which has already appeared in these columns. Mrsfi George Riviere gave a short sketch of Governor A. B. Moore Miss Harris read paper prepared by Mrs. Alexander Johnston on e. c. Clay; Mrs. John Harvey read a sketch of 'L. P. Walker" pre- pared by Mrs. Dukes, and Miss Russell held the absorbed attention of the audience by her graphic and sympa- thetic account of the great Southern leader, william L. Yancey."
 At the close of the exercises the most delicious refreshments were served by Miss Morris Clarke, and the charming entertainment was added to the long list of happy events for which the Mobile chapter is indebted to their able and devoted Regent
