travels over twenty states and territories
at her own expense-in the interest of the
order. Her journeys aggregated between
10000 and 5000 miles. and she expressed
regret that her election as president gen
eral and the decision of the railways To
suspend the pass list were inconveniently
coincident. She desired to express her deep
appreciation of the courtesies which had
been extended to her as an officer of the
order in every section of the country, and
felfcitated the congress upon the fact that
the d. A. r. was respected and honored iii
all portions of the land. Mrs Mclean told
the story of the flag, made of torn red bro
and of the patriotic speech of the young
girl who, handing 1t to the color bearer,
said: Take this flag and let the red bro
cade represent the red blood of American
women at your back.
1t is the duty of women, she said, TO up
hold the hands of the men who uphold the
flag. Patriotic education is the greatest
function of the ID. a. R., declared Mrs. Nc
Lean, and she thought the time would come
when even the immigrants to shores
would be speedily taught the great truths
of our history. and hence would honor and
respect our institutions-a necessary and
vital obligation of American citizenship.
Mrs Mclean closed with eloquent trib
ute to American womanhood and apprect-
alive applause was long continued as the
national flag was slowly unfured above the
heads of the congress.
The Responses.
Mrs. A. A. Kendall of Maine was
presented by the president general to MAKE
the first response. Mrs. Kendall it was
who made the nominating speech for Mrs.
Mclean on the second day of the congress

her and one of the happiest moments OF
her life that she had been selected for the
