quantity, that she is not regularly
elected but is appointed haphazard
by the President, half the time not

whole time being ignorant Of her
duties. In some chapters, however,
the presidents do their duty ideally,
and these are the chapters which
keep up the standard of work in the

little out of the ordinary are those
reporting the perusal of old letters
on Confederate themes, papers
written by veterans, and original
compositions. They also report OBJ
servance of our special Days. Two

also add a valuable volume to their
libraries. There were 286 Crosses OF
Honor given, 80 Of these to Descend
