 In celebration of the wedding day of George Washington and Martha Curtis the members of the General Sumpter chapter, Daughters of the American Rev olution, will receive this afternoon at the residence of Mrs. N. w. Trimble.
 The proceeds from the tea will be de- voted to the fund for Continental Hall and the Daughters hope that the tea will be a financial success, as well as an event of much picturesqueness and charm in the social world.
 The officers of the chapter and other Daughters will be in the receiving line, and will be gowned in the most charming and becoming costumes, posing as Co., lonial beauties with all the accessories of paint, powder and patches.
 Appropriate to the occasion there will be an absence of American colors, but the decorations will be more suggestive of a wedding, white and green, to dls- tinguish an elaborate decorative scheme.
