NOTES HERE AND THERE

Tn announcing the return north of Mrs. Donald Mclean, president general of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who has been visiting her daughter, Mrs. Dallam, at Ft. Oglethorpe, The Outlook says:
 MT. and Mrs. Donald Mclean have re- turned to New York after visit to their | daughter, Mrs. Dalam at It. Oglethorpe. | Mrs. Dallam is beautiful young woman | with a petite and charming style, and | she has been cordially welcomed to Chat l tanooga society. Mrs. Mclean added to her reputation for wit and cleverness while here. Her address to the Daughters of the American Revolution and their friends on the day of the reception at the Patten hotel was brilliant, brief, witty and full of singular charm that made all her hearers feel In personal touch 1 with the speaker. Her reference to Chat tanooga as the center of things provoked frequent laughter, which eliminated in applause when she called the Plaza the Patten of New York city. She said that she had frequently been south. but was convinced that she had never really been in the south until this visit to Chat 1 tanooga. At the close of her talk she ! urged every woman present to consider 1 herself invited to join the great patriotic organization and explained its aims and purposes.
 A story which proves Mrs. McLeans versatility and ability Is told of her visit to Atlanta few years since. social leader in the Gate City gave a lunch con of many courses and IS covers in honor of the distinguished guest. Each of the ladies gave a carefully prepared toast in honor of Mrs. Mclean. Some were short. some long, some intricate and some simple. One guest when called upon gave hers in German. When the F had spoken Mrs. Mclean arose. She re- sponded in detail to every toast offered in the exact order in which they had been delivered, making an apt answer to each, and to the German she answered in German.
 It is needless to say that few people either men or women, can boast of such an achievement.

 | It has usually been the custom at the United Confederate Veterans reunions for Gen. Stephen D. Lee, the command ing general, to appoint ten or fifteen tenn porary aids from the Sons on his staff, but there being so many prominent So- ciety leaders among the sons in Birming- ham and not desiring to honor any over the others he has officially announced through Adjutant General William E. Mickle, chief of his staff, that there will be no appointment of sons made this year. but adds in his order, "of course the l young ladies who come to Birmingham as sponsors will have all of the atten- ton that the chivalric young men of that city can bestow but it will be given as private citizens of Birmingham, not as temporary aids on the staff of the com mander- in-chief.'
