 bonding secretary was also instructed
 to notify the Chapters of this action Of
 the convention. Mrs. Gielow stated
 that s10 year entitled any Chapter to
 become auxiliary. Mrs. Lee onereo
 that a resolution of sympathy De sent
 the California Division. She also gave an encouraging report of chapter ex- tension work.
 Mrs. Dowdell, chairman of Dixie Ccmittee, said that the work of this committee had only succeeded in SUIT ring a great sentiment for the old min strel song in the original. but IS naf also met the approval of thinking peo- pie to select one version or the many l entant; however, as the Veterans In convention had reported adversely to- wards any change of Dixie. she asked | that the committee be dissolved. This was done Mrs. Whitfield offered a resolution to adopt for the use of the Alabama Division the words of Dixie l by Mrs. Ockenden of Montgomery. This brought on much dlscussion put was | adopted.
 So much for most of the business which was transacted, but there were pleasures besides. The literary evening was made a Shiloh symposium. and ably carried ou. by Mrs. Lee. who gave | a sketch of Col. T. J. Burnett; Mrs. | Roundtree, who recited her own poem,
 sSThe Battle of Shiloh; Miss Long, who read q biography of Gen. Zachary C.. | Deas; Miss Andrews. who gave a sketch of Gen. Clanton, and pr. Thomas | M. Owen who briefly extolled General
 Holtzclaw and gave the oration Of the evening Delightful music was render l ed by Miss Tomsor and Miss McCall,
 Mrs. E. M. Blue, and Messrs Foster, My ron, Mckay and Rosenstihl.
 1 Mrs Gielow charmed the great au- dience with her dialect poems, while l Hon. Tom Frazer proved himseif an l ideal master of ceremonies. Two re- captions were tenderei the Daughters one on Tuesday evening at the hos
 nitahIe home of Mrs. McAndrew. Pres ident of the hostess Chapter. where the Daughters mingled and talked of the work and pleasure of the next reW
 days. On Thursday evening the vist- tors were rendered a brilliant recep-
 ton at the beautiful Bienville Clut rooms. where they met and enjoyed the
 culture and refinement the wit and
 wisdom of one of the loveliest cities of the State. Nor were the Children's | Chapters forgotten an afternoon recep-
 tion by the Dixie Eagles, the local | Chapter, at the home of the little Pres
 ident, Miss Etowah Stokes. was great
 ly enjoyed by them.
 And now as business and pleasure l are both complete, and as this is writ
 ten for the Daughters who could not SC
 to the convention and not to those who
 could, I must tell the stay-at-homes
 this joke which a prince of good Jokers | told on one, of his Union Springs | friends: . One gentleman drove gaily down to the depot for his delegate-she didn't come | On his way back he met a friend whose l delegate had come and was seated be-
 side him chatting parliamentary law
 and constitution and all sorts of dele gate talk. Hello" he called to his
 friend. where's your delegate?" "She
 didn't come" the friend replied, de- | lightfully. 'Oh. you are lucky" cried the man with the delegate. And then
 he remembered and blushed, for the
 delegate laughed. And yet more charm | ing than all the glorious drives through the beautiful old oak-shadowed streets, | more refreshing than all the spoken and unspoken welcomes, was this one | fact: the gentlemen of Union Springs | turned out en mass to honor the fair attended the social functions. but the | business sessions, enjoyed the whole
 convention, or said they did, which is | just as good. This to me was one of the most encouraging notes of the | times. Women's conventions are not | interfering with the old time chivalry | of the South-not in Union Springs | any way AC TCCOIQiHB bGCT6LdEy | could not close this resume without
 especial thanks to MT. Wade of the Central of Georgia Railroad. It was
 rather a hard task to keep minutes | (even poorly), without a stenographer | for so alert body of women as those composing the Alabama Division, and
 to sign tickets at one and the same | time; indeed. 1t would have been a | task impossible, had 1t not been for
 MT. Wade's kind thoughtfulness in pre-
 airing a stamp for some of the sign ing which is absolutely necessary to | these State tickets. I commend his | thoughtfulness to others on like oc- | casions.
 And now I close with what to me seems the most important immediate | action to be taken by the chapters It was determined to publish all mem-
 bers as we'll as officers of the chapters, | and each chapter was instructed fd send to the recording secretary a full list that 1t may go in the minutes. Ii every chapter will be good and send this list right away. she shall have her
 minutes on time and receive the most | heartfelt thanks of her recording sec- retary.
