Report on Chapter Management.
Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Main. the vice
president general in charge of organizatio
OF chapters, had only short report to
make.
The work of the ofiice has progressed
quietly and smoothly" she stated and has
not been unduly burdensome. / have the
honor to report hourishiug chapter in
fermllion, 5. D., the first formed In the
state. and one IN the City of Mexico, and
there Is a request from the regent of the
latter to be elected state regent, believing
thereby that she will be able to form at
least three other chapter in the republic
OF Mexico. As our constitution Is silent
upon the subject of the appointment OF q
state regent outside the United States 1t
was deemed advisable by the board OF man
agement TO bring this problem TO the Con-
gress, with the recommendation that such
appointment be made for the good of the
society, TO broaden and advance its inter
ests
Neither by death nor resignation have we
lost single officer of our organization, al
though many of their families have met
with sore bereavement.

PRESS AGENTS BRIGHT IDEA.

An instructive story Is told Of
theatrical press agent In Washing
ton who has developed the art Of
"jollying" newspaper mon into a reg
ular business system. Realizing the
fallibility of memory and the import
ance OF avoiding blnnders as tn names,
faces. etc. when one Is press agent,
this genlus has lttcd mp a card In
deX In a suit case.
It Is a concise aud useful record Of
the newspaper men who handle the
atrical matters In the toyns visited
by the press agent 1t giyes their
names and those Of the papers they
work for, and some account 81 their
personal appearance and pcculnrl-
ties. II the sgont has had prov
ious acquaintance with any Of them.
notes are made Of the met and Of any
Incidents that mey revive pleasant
memories o. the agents former call.
The invmitDr of this system says II
works Ike charm. II would seem
that similar plan, modified ns cir
cumstances rcQliro. m-ght be of as.
sistaneo to advertising solicitors, to
mon who go about boosting circula-
lion and to others In newspaper work
whose succoss depends largely upon
their knowledge OF that queer thing
we call human nature. The old die
tum that there Ia no sentiment In
business Is thoroughly false. as every
real business man knows. Who can
tell how many contracts have been
lost because somebody was addressed
by the wrong name or because the
wrong story was told 10 him? The
press agents idea deserves the most
serious consideration.
