 The MobileChapter, D. A. R. celebr rat ed Flag Day on Tuesday, the 18th at the charming country home of Judge and Mrs. H. T. Toulmin. The Day was perfect the time five o'clock in the afternoon until the shadows fell and the scene was one to be remem- bered. The guests were seated on the large "galerie," and the charming old fashioned home with its old mahoga- ny was ideal, and crowned by the char ming hostess who is a typical southern gentlewoman.
 The meeting opened with singing the Star spangled Banner and prayer. Several charming vocal solos here giv- en. Mrs. Lavretta gave in her most beautiful manner the Aria from Car men. Mrs. Charles Hervey, the Daily Question" and Mrs. Tam rendered most charmingly the old loved ballad of 'sRoin Adair." Miss Kathleen Shivsrs of MontevaIlo played the ''Valse Ca- price" by Nenlend and was heartily en- cored.
 An interesting adress by Father De la Moriniere was the feature of the oc- casion. Father De la Moriniere is the teacher of literature and history at Spring Hill College and is the finest Shakespearen scholar in Mobile. His address was on patriotism and was both interesting and delightful.
 Another event of the meeting was the presentation of D. A. R. pin to Miss Meta Thompson, life Chaplain of the surprise to Miss Thompson, and was accepted in a heartfelt speech in her usual happy manner. All the officers of the Chapter were present. as was also Mrs. Goode, the State e-Regent, and seldom has social meeting been so delightful. Ice cream, cake and punch were serv- ed by six or eight of Mobiles fairest young girls.
