 The meeting has convened in It's own buiIding-in Continental Hall. which is hung in green buriap. embowered in spring blossoms. and tastefully decor 1 ated with flags and the coat of arms Of the various States. These last are of ! special interest to the South. as they 1 nave been painted Dy n1Es. AutlAO JOH0o l Robertson, of Columbia, s. C., who tS the Heraldic Artist for the D. A. R.

 Shakespeare.
 Had the good William sotourned around Washington about the present time he would have had a practical experience in the art of "wiping out records" had he chosen to investigate | from the records" the last resting places of some of the men who aided in making this the most beautiful city | in the world. L'Enfant's grave was not difhcult 10 find but this from the fact that the body of this truly great genius was | placed in the garden of a substantial | family, where 1t has remained all these l years undisturbed by the march of city expansion, but had the land been l utilized as a sub division the chances are that the remains would have been l carried of to some other point for 1 reinterment and no record" kept as was the case in the removal of the remains of David Burnes. his wife. and son. Perhaps not ten people in the l District today can tell where these graves are or from what place and 1 when the remains were removed.
 If records" were to be depended upon to furnish the information 1t | would never be known.
