The Birmingham age-herald., 1912-11-03

md that some or the delegates dc not understand the invitation to tie celebration ceremonies for the lay ing of the corner stone of Arlington monument, which was published in last Sundays Age Herald. and I hasten to explain that these invitations are sent only to the state presidents before the convention as the names of delegates gre not known. Delegates are expected to send in their names to their state presidents that they may inform the Washington chapters, who are prepar- ing for the number of seats necessary for the crowd at the National ceme- tory Tickets will be given to each delegate when they reach washing ton, but there will be no charges what ever to these or to any of the inter- esting exercises.
 IL will be remembered that at the Greenville convention after much dis oussion 1t was finally decided to adopt as our division flower the white rose. Each Alabama delegate who attends is expected 10 wear a white rose, made out of white ribbon. To have them uni form Birmingham delegates should de- eide on some store in Birmingham where they could be made of uniform size Montgomery delegates and those of other cities should do likewise. This rose should be a half blown bud, about the size of the pretty red roses so pop ular last year After the delegates reach the convention, if they will call at the Alabama presidents room in the New Willard each delegate will receive a small Alabama flag, which should be worn with the white rose Your president sincerely hopes that ev- cry chapter will heed the postal card sent out to each chapter president, and have her credentials sent on to proper authorities. and the names of delegates who expect to attend sent here to her. It will avoid much confuson at the general convention and save embar- rassment to your Alabama division.
