 ID, A. R. Chapter fin the City of Mexico. That Miss R. M. Snead, formerly of the John Wado Reyes Chapter Ala bama D. A. R., has not left her Amer ican spirit behind her while sotournir g in foreign lard, is proved by tho en- thusiasm shown by her Chapter in the celebration of the anniversary of ths battle of Lexington. the afternoon of April 19, at the home of Mrs. Alvin Carpenter in the City of Mexico
 On this occasion 1t was asserted that time had rolled backward to the days of the Continentals and Redcoats and once more Paul Revere made his mid |. night ride from Boston to Concord. The gleam of the two lanterns, hung in the tower of the old North Church, shcne once again upon the path of pat riotism. as the audience assembled in the American \home in a foreign city, recalled the memories of their own country in the thrilling accounts given by the Daughters of the opening events of the American Revolution. It is touching to think of these American women so far removed in both time and space from these stirr- ing scenes revering the memory of the 'brave days of old" In their ears rang the laundering hoofs of the bold rid CTS horse, and again sounded his warning cry, The British are com ing!" The minute men ran forth vita guns and axes, and the old stone walls and sheltering trees threw their pro- tecting shadows across the light of more than a century and a quarter. And then the British marched back in l rage and disorder. And Mexico was forgotten and the true hearts of tho Daughters seem to breathe the inspir- ing air of their own free land. The program was most interesting and appropriate, including patriotic music, an account of the Battle of Lex- ington, Paul Revere's ride, Lowell's 8 Ode. and sketch of the famous rid- CTS home.
 At the conclusion of the entertain ment refreshments were served in the dining room amidst decorations of sweet peas.
 The good wishes and hearty interest and sympathy of all Alabama D. A. R. must go forth to Miss Snead who Is so faithfully striving to keep alive the memory of American greatness and American Ideals in foreign land. May heaven bless this true, loyal little wo- man and grant her the success in her patriotic efforts, for which she Is SO earnestly strivingi
 Among the beautiful floral tributes paid to the memory of Hon. Manuel Asperoz, late Mexican Ambassador to the United States, at his funeral which occurred April 24. ip the city of Mex leo none was more beautiful than that of the D. A. R. Chapter of that city. It was arranged in the form of the American flag, one meter in length. The blue of the flag was of ragged robins, the white stars of white mar guerites, the red stripes of American Beauty roses, the white stripes Of white roses. The whole flag was sur rounded with maiden hair ferns, the staff was wrapped with silver and maiden hair ferns. On two white sat- in streamers fastened with a large bow at the top were the words, Daughters of the American Revolution"
