Memorial Day for the ladies OF the
Home for Confederate Women will be
observed on Tuesday. September 3oth.
Mayor Ainslie yesterday agreed with
the wishes of Mrs A J. Montague
acting president of the home, and
sent the ladies a letter expressing his
hearty cooperation with them in the
movement
While It is likely the day will be
observed as Button Day" it has not

ladies distributed buttons. Some other
design may be determined upon this
be made later. Here Is the letter OF
the mayor to Mrs. Montague
Letter From Mayor Ainsiie.
Mrs Andrew Jackson Montague,
Acting President Home for Needy
COME derate Women, Richmond. Va.
MY Dear Madam cheerfully
comply with your request that Tues
day, Septem Der 80. 1913, be designated
as a memorial day for the dependent
women now cared for and maintained
by the Home for Needy Confederate
Women, ard that permit be granted
to the officers. members and friends OF
the home to solicit and receive con-
tributions for its support on that day.
THE fact that the home receives
nothing from the State. that 1t re-
ceives only $500 a year from the city.
and that its slender income has been
seriously impaired should serve to
strengthen the already strong appeal
that the work of the home ever makes
to the ehivalrous and generous in
stlncts Of the people of Richmond
Each year finds a smaller number of
these heroines OF other days, which
serves but to increase the interest in
those who remain, and to stimulate
the hearts OF those of this generation
TO aid in your worthy efforts to COM
fort their declining years.
Permission is hereby granted to the
Home for Needy Confederate Women.
Its Officers and duly authorized agents
10 receive contributions for the sup
port and maintenance Of the said
home on September 80. 1918, and. for
this purpose. to use and occupy the
streets, parks and such portions of the
public buildings Of this city as will not
obstruct the same nor interfere with
the discharge of public business.
Very respectfully yours.

Happily Represented by Register
and Mrs. Napier at Official Recep-
ton Rendered by the Secretary Of
tho Treasury.

Register of the Treasury and Mrs.
]. G. Napier were prominent figures
at the magnificent reception rendered
Ia few days ago by the Secretary Of
the Treasury and Mrs. Franklin Mac
Veagh at their stately Sixteenth
Street mansion in honor of the bureau
chieftain of the Department. Mr.. Ma
pier was the only colored official of
the department who accepted the cor
dial invitation of the Secretary. That
the courtly Register and his charm
ing wife fully sustained the dignity
and social graciousness of our people
at this notable function goes without
the saying.
Mrs. Napier was beautifully gowned
and her charming personality unques-
tionably added radiance to the
brilliant assemblage, which embraced
the foremost social and official fac
tors of the American Republic.
The thoughtful element of our citi-
zenry are grateful to Mr.. and Mrs.
Napier for their attendance at the
MacVeigh reception-not because of
any prestige the Napiers might gain
through the quasi social recognition
thus extended, but because of the
opportunity given well-disposed men,
bers ofthe other race to see the Ne
gro at his best-to make a concrete
observation of the possibilities Of a
people whose bright side Is too sell
dom In evidence in such exalted cir
cles.
In accepting the invitation Of Sec
rotary MacVeagh, Mr.. Napier has set
an example which under similar cir
cumstances other colored bureau Of
ficials would do well to follow.

lege on the subject Of opportunities
for colored girls. In her address she
pleaded for equal opportmities for
the young women Of her race, and
recited the handicaps under which
they labor, the hurtful lack of oppor-
unity confronting them in. every line
Of work. As showing how much her
address was appreciated, and the m
terest It awakened ameng the young
women Of Wellesley College, Mrs!
Terrell is in receipt of the following
letter from Mary Eliza Clark, Presi-
dent of the Christian Association Of
Welassle5 CollegH. ~
sDsari Mrs. Terrell:
"I was sorry not to be able to- see
you during your recent visit to
Wellesley, for then should have told
you in person what want to tell you
in letter. 1 want to speak for the
girls of Wellesley. fthink you prob
ably know of the feeling Of the fac
uaty. I am anxious fod you to know
how greatly the girls appreciate your
coming such q distance to speak to U.s.
The interest in your subject was
shown by the fact that quite number
Of girls who do not regularly attend
the Christian Association meetings,
came to your meeting wednesday
night. As to your presentation OF the
subject, it's effect can be judged by
the fact that, your talk has been dis
cussed very widsly among the girls
representing every type in college. 1
don't know when speaker has
aroused so much interest and changed
so many ideas In so short a time.
Some girls had no conception OF the
problems or the means used to solve
them; others were prejudiced merely
because of hearsay. One Southern
girl was very, reluetanat to go to the
meeting, but after it was ever she
had not q word of criticisb to offer.
l want you to feel that your VISIT here
was distinctly worth white, and that
wellesley people Of broadcast minds
and widest sympathies, feel distinct
debt Of gratitude to you. for the strong
presentation OF your subject. l hope
yen will not for moment feel that
this Is empty praise. It is my op-
portunity to know many girls Of dit
feusnt. points of view, and it is only
after hearing wide discussion that l
say this to you. / trust that some
tine. there wiz be another opDortuny

meanwhile feel that this visit was
VASTLY worth while, and accept our
hearty wishss Ios yeW work.-'Ths
