the placid smile of satisfaction on her old
face tells the story better than words.
In 1895 Mrs. Daniel Lothrop OF
Massachusetts conceived the idea Of es-
tabliShing an addition TO the present
society of the ID. A. r. through chill
dren'S auxiliary, to be known the
National Society of the Children Of the
American Revolution. to which boys and
girls were alike eligible. The children )
society is to be regarded always as a
branch of the parent organization, and
all its bylaws and work must be in
harmony with or patterned after that
of their model. and the branch society
does most properly come under the juris-
dction of the national society. The
very inception of the children'S society
intended it to be a school of patriotism
and a feeder of the older and larger
body.
Sixteen years have elapsed, and those
who joined in 1895 have now reached
their majority. In some cases an en-
tire local society consequently gradu-
ated its members, they being designat-
ed sons or daughters. as the case might
be. From small beginnings in Wash
ington, D. c.. the society of the chill
dren has now grown to about 10000
membership. and Mrs. Albert B. Cum
minis, wife of the Iowa senator. is the
president general of the c. A. X. The
children have a room at Memorial Con-
tinental Hall, which they equipped and
furnished themselves. and each year
during the sessions of the Continental
Congress they give a dainty minuet FOR
the edification of the daughters, and, be-

The monum, ntal labor of tho d. A. r

is designed to commemorate the virtues

service in the perilous days OF the infant
republic. 4 wealth of funds have poured
in on the Daughters for this purpose, and
the building is one of the handsomest in
Washington, situated down by the speed
way on what is destined TO be the Via
Appia of the nation. II is built of
American marble, in modified colonial
style. by Edward Pearce Casey. the ia
nous architect of New York and has
been completely finished during the past
year. A striking feature Of the hall is
the memorial portico on the south side
of thirteen fluted monolths erected by
the legislatures of the thirteen original
states, at a cost of s., 600 each.
In this building is carried on not on v
the annual congresses of the ID. A. r %.
but the administrative work of the So
ciety as well. And when il is remem-
bered that the society is growing at tine
rate of four or five hundred members
monthly, this administrative work is no
light task. 4 large force OF clerks Is
continually employed in this work under
the direction of general officers ap-
pointed by the society.
