 The one paper, and a most excel lent one. was given by Miss Fannie Hopper-her subject being Social Life in Virginia and Maryland" in which she gave very brief but very vivid ds-e scriptions and rare glimpses of social life in these two States. The paper was such a beautiful one that at the re- quest of the Chapter it will be pub- fish ed.
 One of the charming out-of-town visitors, Miss Jamie Knox of Pine BluH. Ask, contributed to the program by most delightful recitation, My Debut. which brought such deserved applause not only from the Chapter members, but from the visitors, among whom was Mrs. Virginia Clay Clopton. that Miss Knox graciously responded with an encore giving the Kitchen Clock"
 Miss Meta Thompson repeated by re- quest the D. 4. R. report made by her on Reciprocity Day at the meeting of the Shakespeare Club.

 come as the bearer of a poeticai gem. which intrust to the keeping of Alabama Daughters. It is the work of one of our most gifted members, Mrs T. L. Robinson, vice-Regent ox Bienville Chapter. Anniston.
 The poem first appeared in 6 paper | published several years ago by Studiosis Literary Club of Anniston. an organization which comprised among It's members some of the mose | talented and brilliant women of the State. The original manuscript has ac- cidentally come into my hands. and I have prevailed upon Mrs. Robinson to let me place her artistic production where others can enjoy its beauties. Rarely does one see compressed within a few lines such intensity or emotion. such depth and breadth or thought. and such a rapid play of lights and shades as this little poem depicts. l The condensation is wonderful, the picturesquesness vivid. the wefrdness fascinating. With a few quick strokes of the brush two marvelously contrast ing pictures. which reveal wide range of human experiences, are placed upon the canvas. Mans recklessness and woman's anguish were never mora l strikingly portrayed.
