TT HE eyes of all faithful New Jer-
sey Daughters of the American
Revolution were turned Wash
i~ngtonward today, when the New Jer-
sey room of Continental Hall, the one
beside the officers room, to be COM
pleted in time for the annual congress,
was formerly turned over to the ma
tion body by Miss Ellen Mecum. of
Salem, New Jersey State regent.
Miss Mecum, in we'll chosen words,
told of the continued efforts of all the
New Jersey Daughters to have the
room finished promptly She also
briefly recited the story of the wood
In which the room is finished. 1t Is all
from the timbers of the old frigate
Augusta, which was Lord Howe's
flagship during the Revolutionary War,
and which was sunk in the Delaware
river, until the enterprise and loyalty
Of New Jersey had it raised n its
timbers carted to Salem, where it was
stacked to dry out thoroughly.
An address was made by Mrs. Dom
aid Mclean, the retiring president
general of the D. A. r. Many New
Jersey women were present, among
them being Mrs. Everard B. Hopwood,
regent of Nova .Caesarea Chapter, of
this city; Mrs, Jonathan Huntington,
first vice-regent; Mrs. Austen Nc
Gregor, second viee-regent; Mrs. Will
lam Scheerer, of Orange; Mrs. H. j..
Hcerner. Mrs. 1. Percy Blackford, of
Passaic, I'M others.
The Daughters are anxious to give
full credit to Miss Mecum for the
prompt way In which the work of ar
ranging the New Jersey room was car
ried out. She was ably assisted by the
officers of thirty-one chapters. More
than 49, 900 was donated. The furniture
of the room is in the style in rogue
when the Augusta was a ship of state.
Quaint Jacobean ~settees, chairs and
tables nave been made and the doors
and w~ainscoting are in appropriate
style. The room Is a little more than
twenty-five by fifteen feet, and On one
side is a splendidly carved coat of arms
of New Jersey, with the three plough
shares and the figures of Liberty and
Justice or either side.
In a conspicuous place is hung a
parchment framed in Augusta wood.
on which is l~etteret a brief history of
the room and the records of the New
Jersey Chapter. Among the chapters
mentioned are Nova Caesarea, of New
Rock, Sof Montelair; Bergen, of Jersey
City; Boudinot, of Elizabeth; Oliphant,
of Trenton: Paulus Hook, of Jersey
City and the organizations in the south

SOIL FOR MIGNONETTE.


Mignonette Is a capricious flower and
thrives only under the most proper
treatment. Most hardy ANNALS will
grow in any ordinary border soil with
only quite common care, but the mig
nonette is not to be treated SO cava-
lierly.
To make sure that 1t will succeed you
need soil that in the first place has been
well dug and afterward made firm,
while If some lime and brick rubble
have been mixed with the border so
much the better. M~ignonette will thrive
only in well-drained ground made firm.
and it is especially fond of a little lime
in the soil.
