Items, Personal and Otherwise, Gath
cred in the Hall.

Many expressions of sympathy have been
| heard over the continued i'll health of
| Mrs. Fairbanks past president general of
the national society. Her receptions have
! been features of the meetings of the con-
! gress and these also are missed.
Mr. Edward Garfield of New York is the
! fnancier whose advice the Daughters took
in making their investments in railroad
| bonds.
! Continental Memorial Hall seats exactly
| 600 people, and by the time another con-
! gross meets Will be just large enough 10
| accommodate the delegates and officers if
| they all come. There are 100 here this
sion.

Mrs. Helen Mason BOSnlOn "luON VI
| Gen Boynton. is of massachusetts parent
| age on both sides, going back in unbroken
line and name in 1920. Both her colonial
| and revolutionary ancestors were actlNe IN
| service for the colonies and loyal from
| the first to last. She has written for maya
| zines and papers and published a book
| under the nom de plume of Helene Hall
| She is one of the earliest workers In the
ID. A R., her national number being
| twenty eight and held the office of vice
| president general in charge of organza-
| ton in 1891, 1892 1893, vice president gen
| eral in 1896, and in 1905 was elected hon
member of Emily Nelson Chapter, named
! in honor of Mrs. Donald McLean's grand
| mother. She is also president general of
| the Daughters of Founders and Patriots,
| Of which society she is one of the founders.
| Mrs James NJ. Fowler of Lafayette, Ind,
| one of the most energetic and effective
| workers in the organization. has been urged
| as a candidate for vice president general
| Mrs. Fowler has attended every one OF the
| fifteen sessions of the continental congress
and has attracted attention by her COM
| manding presence, her business meth
| DDS and the zeal with which she prose-
! cuted her work and accomplished results,
| and is now a member of the Continental
| Hall committee.
| Mrs Charles H. Terry Of New York, and
| one of the most popular women in the d.
| A. r.. was the nominee of her state delega-
| ton of thirty for vice president gen
| eral of the national society, in opposition
| to Mrs James Grfswold WentZ. Mrs. Terry
| Is on the Mclean ticket and Mrs. Wentz on
| the other ticket. The statement sent out
! that the New York delegation did not in
dorse Mrs. McLean's candidacy Is very
misleading. The fact that Mrs. Terry, a
| strong Mclean woman, was Endorsed, shows
| that Mrs. McLean's Endorsement came to
her from the individual chapters of her own
state, thus making the state delegation in
| dorsement unnecessary.
