of Mrs. Florence Reeve on north
Michigan street. This chapter was

fraction of a year, reaching to Jan.
LIST, so that this meeting last night
completed the I'd year of the organi-
zation. The day set for meetings is
the I'd Friday in each month, and
the plan is for those members who
can, to assemble during the after
noon, spend a social hour, and when
all are there have a banquet, and
after that a program is given.
Mrs. Reeve was assisted in the en-
tertainment last evening by Mrs.
Frances Seybold, and the supper was
most elaborate, and served in a
manner that the ladies vote was one
of the best since the chapter was
organized, and they have had some
''spreads" that we're surely "top-
notchers.

year. the order of business was the
choosing of officers for the coming
year. and the following were elected :
Regent, Mrs. Mary L. M. Thayer ;
Vice Regent, Mrs. Jessie Toan

wood;

Program Committee, Mrs. Under
wood. Miss Frances E. Emerson and
Mrs. Nellie Cressner.
Wythougan Chapter now numbers
"a members. II Of whom are not now
residents of the city. The number
present last evening was twenty, so
that the per cent of the attend
ance is good.
At the State meeting of the
society held in Indianapolis two
months ago. this chapter was honor
ed by having one of its members
Miss Frances Emerson) chosen as
State Historian. This position was
won bv Miss Emerson purely on
merit. The work she had done in
connection with the local chapter
had attracted the attention of those
beyond our borders, and when her
name was proposed, and an an
nouncement made of her ability In
this line of work, she was chosen
forthwith, no opposition being of
fered.
A feature of the meeting last eve
ming was the exhibition by Mrs.
Reeve of some family keepsakes,
that belonged to her ancestors, and
which date back into the 100
century. There was bonnet, some
caps and kerchiefs that were worn
about the neck, some linen, old
iewelry and coin of old colonial
times, that are real relics Of by
gone day.
One object Of the society OF the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton is teaching patriotism and re-
spect for the flag, and their motto
is CT pledge allegiance to our flag
and the republic for which it stands;
one nation. indivisible, with liberty
and justice for ALL" The preserva-
ton of the old historic. things that
we have, like those exhibited last
night, that our children may respect
those who went before and made
what we now have possible, is COM
mendable. and this work the D. A.
r. is endeavoring to encourage all
over the land. Love Of our country,
inspiration to serve our country, de-
votion to our country's welfare
this spells Patriotism-and for this
work the D. A. R. is set. May these
descendants of noble sires go on in
this good service, till every boy and
girl in all the Laird shall love, honor
and revere our Starry flag, the red,
white and blue.
