CHIVALRY WINS
with The OLD VETS
Veterans Agree to Have Many
Sponsors and Maids At Next
Reunion.

r l c H NJ o N d, VA.-Special-
When the next meeting of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
of Virginia is held, the thin gray bat
talfons of the aged warriors will be
augmented by a charming Amazonian
force of sponsors and their maids of
honor-yes, twice or three times as
many as appeared at the 1910 re-
union in Norfolk.
These lovely recruits will be living
exhibits of the gallantry of the old
soldiers. Last year, ii will be recall
ed, there was much talk about the
sponsors and maids winning more
glory than the veterans, and as a con-
sequence it was decreed that there
should be no maids of honor and
only eleven sponsors-one for the
State at large and one for each con-
gressional district.
But after years reflection the vet
Grams have decided to revert back
to more chivalric policy. And so
the next reunion will enjoy the pres
ence of a sponsor for the State at
large. with two maids, as we'll as q
sponsor and maid for each congress
sional district.
The adorable non-combatants want
ed it that way and almost joyously
the old soldiers acceded to their
wishes. In fact, according to Colonel
J. V. Bidgood, adjutant of the Grand
Camp, they can have what they
want"
The list Of sponsors and maids is
only partly complete. Sponsors for
some districts have not been selected.
Those who have been so far chosen
are as follows:
Chief sponsor for Virginia-Mrs.
George w. Nelms. Newport News
Maids-Miss Louise Williams, Rich
mond; Miss Grace Dalton. 126 Ban
Street, Norfolk. Mrs. Nelm's husband
was private in Company Z, Twelfth
Virginia Infantry.
First Congressional District-Spon-
sor. Mrs. Charles E. Parker, 1872
