DAUCHTRS TO
HAVE THEIR TEA
D. A. R. ArranGeS to Meet
Hereafter in the New
Century Club ParIOrS

The regent. Mrs. George c. Hall, was
hostess to the members Of Caesar Rod
ney Chapter Of the d. A. r., at the
final meeting Of the year, yesterday af-
ternoon. A communication was received
from Kentucky asking for general in
formation about the ID. A. r.. and was
read by the state regent, Mrs. Cor
nelius w. Taylor IL was quite compli-
mentary 10 Delaware's activity that
they should receive this request from
such distance.
Arrangements were made for next
years meetings. Miss Sophia NAPLES
reported that the Ncw-Century Club
parlors could be secured for $3.50 a
meeting. and that the caterer, HoXter,
would take entire charge of the tea
service for about the same sum. Mrs.
Edward Gilpin and Miss NAPLES were
appointed a committee TO engage the
New-Century Club parlors for meetings
next year, and to engage the caterer
for the first meeting in October. The
sentiment OF the chapter was that tea
furnished by a caterer would be more
economical than the old way Of having
members felt that Il was quite worth
while to spend a certain amount on
teas. even IL il left them less money
for memorial tablets for the social
spirit Of tea sometimes furthered the
cause Of patriotism as much as monu-
ments did.
The Colonial Danes have been using
the New-Century Club parlors for
meetings for some time past. and have
also had Hoxter as caterer, and have
found the plan very satisfactory.
In the event of the vacating Of the
Historical Building by the Delaware
Historical Society for new quarters,
there is some thought OF the reting of
the building by the women's patriotic
societies.
Mrs. Edward Gilpin reported the
nomination Of Miss Reba Holcomb and
Mrs. II. w II. Whitaker had been
approved by the executive committee
and accepted. Mrs. Whitaker was a
guest OF the chapter yesterday.
The chapter will investigate whether
