This Virginia woman. according 10 the story, was one of the most beau- titui women. and had been the storm cen ter of social tempest. She accepted the position of organizer of amusements at the springs and was expected to get up germans, charades and other entertain ments for the guests. During the six weeks she held the post. she got up only one entertainment. but she made things lively in another way. She proved so Fascinating that she soon had all the men in her train, and maids and matrons were in despair. Not only did she keep them at her beck and call from morn to dewy eve, but she got up little poker parties every night, and, as she plays very clever game they resulted in constant transfer of coins Of the realm that was as gratifying to her as it was distressing to tho perforce neglected fair

 MRS. J. MORGAN SMITH FOR
 VICE PRESIDENT GENERAL

Mrs Leonard Yancey Dean, sr, of Eufaula. agent of the Lewis chapter Daughters of the American Revolution in an open letteS to the Alabama Daugh- ters declines to have her name used in connection with the candidacy of vice president general of the national board. ,
 Mrs Dean, in withdrawing her name asks that the Daughters of the American Revolution of Alabama send delegation to the continental congress instructed to vote for Alabama's 8 regent, Mrs. J. Mor- gan Smith of Birmingham, for the office O. vice president general.
 The name of Mrs Dean has been prom inently mentioned and a number of Daughters of the American Revolution have urged her to become a candidate. She Is a Lewis-Clarke descendant, and through the marriage of a Lewis to Betty Washington, she is eligible to any office on the board Mrs Deans graceful with drawal and her suggestion that the Ala bama Daughters delegates to Washington vote for their state regent is just now an interesting topic. Mrs. Smith is uni versally conceded to be ore of the ablest women in the Daughters American Revo- lutlon work As state regent she has been the inspiration for much of the patriotic work that has been done by Alabama Daughters of the American Rev. olution and her own patriotism and loy- alty to the principles that hold together the national organization are qualities that, blended with other beautiful quail ities of mind and heart, have made her peculiarly fitted for the work of the state regent. Mrs. Deans suggestion will meet with unanimous approval
 Year after year the Alabama Daughters of the American Revolution have re- quested the re-appointment of Mrs. Smllh as state regent and at the approaching continental congress the Daughters will again give their hearty endorsement of her administration. If Mrs. Deans sug- gestion Is acted upon and Mrs. Smith al- lows the use of her name in connection with the office of vice president general. the Daughters could not fail to be guided in their selection by consideration of such character that would make Mrs. Smith election unanimous.
 The following communication from Mrs. Dean was received yesterday:
 To the Daughters of the American Revo-
 1ution.s 8
 There is no greater honor that could be conferred upon me than to be deemed worthy to fill so important position as vice president general on the national board. l appreciate the mention of my name but decline to have it used.
 Alabama Daughters of the American Revolution will honor themselves by send ing delegation to Washington instructed to vote for our beloved state regent, Mrs. J. Morgan Smith, for that offce We realize what she has been to Alabama D. A. R. for ten years. and appreciate her noble. untiring work. She will be the unanimous choice of every chapter in the state, and none will endorse her more enthusiastically, than the Lewis chap ter of Eufaula, Ala.
