u. D. C.'s at jamestown.

Mrs. Cabcll Smith. fourth vlce-presi-h
dent OF the Virginia Division. United
Daughters OF the Confedcracy, woman
of decided ability and originality, and
ono whose influence was felt In the
State convention, assembling last autumn.
has the credit of being the first Daugh-
ter to make move In right direction.
move that will, no doubt be endorsed
BY the Richmond Chapter at its next
meeting, and by the entire Virginia DiVt-
sion through its president. Mrs. w r.
Mckenny.
Noting, as Mrs. Smith has done, that
all of the patriotic and historic societies
of women will be represented at the
jamestown Exposition and believing, as
she does, that no wonan's organization
. is stronger or more influential than the
Daughters OF the Confedcracy, she
will write to Mrs w. r. McKenny, ex-
pressing her idea that the Daughters
should have part TO play IN every
thing that concerned Virginia and its
history; her belief that petition should
be addressed 10 the board of governors
asking for a room in the Virginia expo
sition building to be set aside for the
Daughters use; that shedesires the
U. ID. C.. convention ut Gulfport be asked
to endorse this application, and that the
Daughters then unite In tho proper ar
rangement and furnishing of such q
room; that they place lady In charge
who will make the influence Of her or
ganization felt and properly estimated
1t is Mrs. Smiths further idea that at
all hours OF the day, In this room the
hostess should be prepared to serve dis
tinctiye and homely Southern wartime
fare to guests; that the room be made
headquarters for all Daughters Of the
Confederacy visiting the exposition, and
that the women Of the Virginia division
should unite in giving national object
lesson Of Southern hospitality and cor
dlality, as perpctuated by the members
of representative and distinctive body
Of Southern women.
Mrs. Smiths ideas will certainly arouse
enthusiasm in body; responding
sympathetically to every call of State
feeling and patriotism, and, 1t seems al
together probable that her Views will be
unanimously approved by all the U. D.
G.. Virginia chapters.
