luton, varying their usual GUS
tom of giving a large reception
on Washington's Birthday, had a
banquet at Hotel Low.
The national colors greeted the
guests as they entered the hotel
and the atmosphere of hospitality
was felt by all.
An informal reception was held
in the parlors preceding the ban
quet, after which the Daughters
and their guests marched into
the dining room led by the Hon
orary Regent, Mrs. Louise Wheel
err and Mr.. Kilbourn of Brad
ford. The tables were attractive
with carnations and flags and
covers were laid for about fifty.
After the singing of America,
the guests were seated and very
appetizing banquet was served.
Following which the Regent, Mrs.
George G. Fabyan in her delight
full way gave a most cordial well
come to the guests in behalf of
the Chapter. Then acting as
toast mistress, she called upon
Mrs. Wheeler, who in her usual
happy vein, spoke beautifully of
the work accomplished by the
Chapter during the years of it's
history. Mrs. COnant, a Brad
ford Daughter, responded to the
toast" George Washington's little
new Ratchet" giving a new YER
sion of an old story in a bright
and most pleasing manner. Then
Mrs. William Atkinson, after a
most appropriate toast to the
day and occasion responded in
verse, her theme being "The Her
itage of the Daughters.
This delightful afternoon closed
with the singing of the last verse
of America and three cheers for
Landlord Gale and his wife.
Among the responses from the
absent members came the follow
ing from the South:
TO the Daughters of the O1 Bo10
CHAPTER -
May their power ne'er decay
To hold their sway
Forever and aye
Ger the hearts of men;
To keep them true
To know what to do,
Should war come again.
Amen.
Now dear sisters and you
All friends tried and true,
OF the Chapter whose fame
And fair honest name,
Noted bards have erst sung
In our kind mother tongue;
May your souls be so true
And your cares be so few,
No sorrow need come
To your heart or your home.
Honor the brave and the just
Though they're long turned to dust,
To God and to country and to home
ever give
The best of yourselves each day you
may live.
May this banquet enjoyed
Meier by pain be alleged
Nav YOU feast oft and long,
Each with jest and song,
And on him whose great name
You now hail with acclaim
Fresh laurels you'll cast
From Present to Past.
