has usually been seated on the platform
On motion of Mrs. Madison BalIinger, in
the fourteenth continental congress. the
congress voted that the members of the ma
tlonai board should sit with their delega-
tons in the body of the hail. where they
naturally belong" Mrs. Ballinger said. She
stated that the annoyance to the presiding
officer of having twenty or more women
upon the platform whispering to her or to
each other was distracting to her and to
the congress. She thought that this annoy
anee should cease. The national board of
administration, however, does not choose
to sit in the body of the house, and does
intend to sit on the platform, and so voted
in the last board meeting. The chairman
of the house committee, in accordance with
the instructions of the congress, had ar
ranged the hall SO that the board women
wuold sit with their delegations, and the
chairs were placed according to those In
struetions. On Friday the contractors were
busy taking up the front chairs, saying
that they had received Instructions to build
the platform considerably wider, and the
chairman OF the house committee said that
she was now obeying the orders of the ma
tional board of administration and provid-
ing for them to be seated upon the plat
form.

that ground was broken for the hall with
appropriate ceremonies. A flag staff was
erected upon the site, and from 1t has
streamed every day since handsome storm
flag presented to the D. A. r. by the Sons
of the American Revolution. The plans
finally accepted for the building will make
It cost the D. A. r. about s400, 000 All the
materials used In the construction Of the
building are American. The hall has
frontage on 18th street of 30 feet. A
square portico with supporting columns, all
of white marble, will complete the struc-
ture on that side. On the south side Will
be a circular portico which will be orna-
mented with huge white marble columns,
thirteen in number. These columns, which
will cost 5000 each, have been subscribed
for by the members of the society in the
thirteen original states. and in few in
stances, notably New Hampshire, Pennsyl-
vania, Rhode Island, New Jersey and Com
necticut by the state legislatures making
appropriations.
There are ten pairs of mahogany doors
In the hall. which will cost $3.50 each. and
these have been taken by various chapters,
who pay for them and have the doors
named for them. The various rooms in the
hall are nearly all appropriated by the
states, 1t is said, and viii be furnished ana
named after the states which take them
That is all the rights the various states
will have in these rooms, however as II
is intended that they shall all be used as
offices for the national society. The Ma
tional Society of the D. A. R. has made its
annual report to the Smithsonian lnstf-
tuition, and these reports, which have peen
voluminous and bulky, handsomely Illus
trated and printed upon the finest of paper,
have been issued by the government print
ing office at great expense to the govern
ment. 1t is stated that in the great wave
OF economy that Is now sweeping every
thing before it the printing committee of
Congress will not authorize this expenditure
again.
Seats for Past Officers.
The seating of the members of the ma
tional board of administration for the COM
ing congress is causing mental anguish to
the house committee. of which Mrs How
ard L. Hodgkins is chairman. The queer
little boxes, which hang like wrens' nests,
in the corner of the back part of the plat
form were put there for the express pur-
pose of seating In them on all occasions of
ceremony the past national officers and the
members of the national board and officers
of the congress. The boxes are scarcely
large enough to seat the past presidents

History of the Building.
Continental Memorial Hall was one of the
first dreams of the daughters. AT a meet
ing of the national board of administration
October 10, 1891. Mrs. Mcdonald, then
treasurer general of the national society
gave notice of a motion that would be pre-
sented at the next meeting. which was as
follows: Resolved, That all fees received
in payment of life memberships be set
apart as the nucleus of the building fund P"
At the next meeting of the board. the reso-
luton went through unanimously and for
the following year the amount gathered for
the building fund amounted to exactly $50
For the next three years the fund only
grew S2S.50. In 1896 the society gathered
s., Alb. In 1897 s3,55S. In 1898 si,444. and
from that time on the sum increased rapid
~. that In 1905 the amount given for
Continental Memorial Hall was about
S2S, 900. The continental congress annually
turns over to the continental hall commit
tee $4,000 from the annual receipts of the
society, ant the remainder is made up from
contributions from the various chapters in
the national society. 1t is not known just
how much will be contributed to the fund
this year, and this cannot be ascertafned
until the reports are made to the CONT
mental congress Wednesday afternoon,
turned in at the afternoon meeting, which
time has been set aside for this purpose.
1t has been stated by prominent daughters
of the District who have access to infor-
nation that It is thought this will be
banner year for memorial hall contrfbu-
tions, and that the receipts will far exceed
those OF any former year. The Children Of
the American Revolution have contributed
to the hall funds 5000.
1t Is said that Miss Eugenia Washington,
one of the four founders of the society,
was one of the first to suggest not only the
society itself but the Continental Memoir
ial Hall.
One remedy for the situation Is the
suggestion that the national society VIII
have to make over its constitution with
regard TO representation and cut it down
about one-half. 1t is suggested that it is
altogether too large a body-three times
as large as the House of representatives,
of the United States and unwieldy as to
size.
Capacity Too Small.
When the present structure was planned
in 1904 it was understood that 1t was to
have a seating capacity Of 1000 on the

main floor and by throwing open the
doors which lead TO the colonades it was
thought that 300 more could be accommo-
dated Thls was the understanding that
the continental congress had of the mat
ter. When the plans were made how
ever, it seems that in the ambition to
have good many rooms for other pur-
poses the seating capacity fell several
hundred below what had been expected.
At the last continental congress ii was
discovered that the acoustic properties of
the hall We're far from perfect but that
this has been in a measure corrected.
First and last, Continental Memorial
Hall has had good deal of fault found
with 1t. The selection of a site was the
first trouble encountered and several
years We're spent in discussing various
sites. A great many of the members. il
is said, have never been pleased with
the location. I'VE are right on the flats"
one of the daughters declared forty
miles from nowhere, and have to walk at
that We cannot get hotels closer to that
hall than five or six long blocks; we are
neighbors of the White House stables
and we are outside the pale of business
Washington. We wanted to have a hall
that we could rent and make some money
out of. Continental Memorial Hall is
scarcely large enough now for the offices
or the ID. A. r., and If We grow / do not
know what we will do"
1t was stated In memorial meeting at
the last continental congress that Miss
Washington said that her desire for So
eiety OF this character was that We as
American women might forget In 1t that
our fathers and BROTHERS fought against
each other on the fields of the civil war,
but remember that they fought side by side
to make the country and the flag" Miss
Washington deplored the loss to the coun-
try OF valuable revolutionary documents
and various other relics which were not
being cared for by the younger generation,
and wanted to have memorial hail estab-
lished in which all such papers and memen-
toes might be gathered and kept.

In the early history OF the national So
eiety IT was hoped that the government
might give the organization ground upon
which to build Congress did give the So
ciety one OF its reservations. but flaw In
the title of the government 10 the piece of
| land held up the presentation for several
years. and the tender Was finally with
drawn. Then 1t was that the daughters

Hall Nears Completion.

Continental Memorial Hall is nearing COM
pleton just as rapidly as the material can
be made ready for IT, and already the ma
tional society is said TO have outgrown its
capacity
The total seating capacity OF the hall. as
stated by the contractor, who was putting
in the theater chairs when The Star re-
porter called there Thursday. Is 1.7oo OF
this number something over 100 chairs are
on the main floor and the remainder are In
the balconies. The delegates who are ac-
credited with seats in the continental con-
gress which convenes Monday number a
little above 1000. This II is stated, does
not take into account the alternates. who
number lust as many more and who are
entitled to seats in case they come apart
from the voting members. If only half the
alternates come they win MI the remainder
OF the hall and there win be only about
one hundred or so seats left for national
officers and the visiting daughters. and
none at all for guests The situation seems
somewhat appalling to some OF the daugh-
tiers. who express themselves as simply
heartsick" over the matter
good deal OF trouble was found In get
ting firm ground upon which to Law the
foundation. and this part OF the structure
cost the daughters $2S 7T9 before they could
build at all. The ground for the hall cos;
$50. 9i61T. and Is not considered cheap. The
unfortunate part of the purchase OF the
land is that no more is available and there
is no possible chance, OF building an addi-
ton TO the hall, much as IL Is needed right
now. Most of the rooms planned are small
and almost cramped. Then the marble
with which the brick work Is faced was not
pleasing to great many. II is slightly
notified with gray, and the building is not
pure white as many Of the ID. A. r. de-
aired Il &c be. But no matter VIVA, the
