 The Painting of the Shields for Con-
 tineRtal HaIS.
 The Columbia State.
 Up on "Columbia Heights" in sa- luda, in the pretty little cottage which she has owned and occupied for two seasons, Mrs Annie I. Robertson is spending a most ideal summer-busy as she must always be, doubly compel led by her energetic nature and her artistic impulses. Nestled among tall pine and maple trees adjoining the house is lovely, picturesque little rustic studio which has just been com pIeted according to her own plans and under her personal supervision.
 There she expects to paint. before the summer is over, the coat-of-arms of the thirteen original colonies for the National Continental hall iii Wash ington,. The large shields of poplar have been ordered from Asheville and as soon as they are received Mrs Robertson will begin her work assisted by Miss Annie CadwalIader Coles.
 Last spring the order was given Mrs. Robertson, who is the heraIdic artist ha hv a nf ha thirteen original States, through the National Continental hall committee at Washington, and they will be paid for and owned by the thirteen original States When the grand auditorium of the hall is completed these shields will be hung around the balcony so as to conform the color scheme of the in- terior decoration. They will be painted ori back ground of gold. Honor to the Founder of the Mount
 Vernon Association. The Columbia State.
 Last Thursday on the birthday of Miss Ann Pamela Cunningham, whose patriotic zeal it was which suggested and furthered the plan of keeping Mount Vernon as it Is kept today, a beautiful bunch of flowers was sent by the regents of the Mount Vernon association through MT. Whelman, the superintendent there, to be laid on her grave in the Presbyterian cemetery. This custom was begun several years ago and on each anniversary comes the pretty tribute to the memory of wo- man whom the members of the D. A. R delight to honor. The committee from Columbia chapters. D. A. R., ap- pointed to receive the flowers and place them on Miss Cunnfng gham's grave are: Mrs. Charles O'Nesle, Mrs. Anna Legare and Mrs. John Clarkson.

Patriotic Education takes rank as the second great work of the D. A. R.
 In Alabama the State Regent has placed Mrs. Chas. A. Stakely, a former member of the National Board. In charge of this branch of work, and un- der her guidance we may expect to see rapid strides in the good work.
 The second report of this Committee made at the sixteenth Congress and published in full in the American Monthly, richly repays a careful read
