This is the first time that the ex-

interest attaches to the meeting here
and throughout the states Owing to
the comparatively early date af- the re-
union, the divisions, e brigades and
camps made their appointments OF
sponsors and maids early; aud these
ladies compose the social side of the
reunion. They are known as the Off
cial ladies of the meeting, entertained
as such, and cOurted by the entire
social fabric of the state.
The origin OF the sponsors and
maids custom at Confederate reunions
is familiar. Twenty odd years ago q
Mississippi camp of Confederate Vet
erans appointed Miss Winnie' Davis,
daughter of Jefferson Davis, sponsor
at q reunion. Miss Davis, IN turn
appointed aacouple of her young

WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY

AF course we of the present day
wouldn't even dream Of allow
ing the 22nd of February to
~ pass without observing it as the
Birthday of George Washington. But
there was time when 1t was not cell
ebrated on that day. This was due
to the fact that some of the States
kept the old-style calendar long after
sister States and other countries had
changed to the new.
So we find, as late as 1915, the 18th
of February being observed as his
birthday. In that year a stone to
mark his birthplace was set up in
Westmoreland County, Va, bearing
the inscription: Here. the 11th of
February. 1892. George Washington
was born"
General Washington's birthday be-
gan to be celebrated publicly during
office of President of the United States
in the year 1889. The following Feb
ruary an organization called the So
ciety of Tammany Hall met in New
York and resolved, THAT the 22nd
day OF February be, from this day
and ever after, commemorated by this
society as the birthday of the Illus
trious George Washington, President
of the United States of America"
But even before this the day was
observed. In 1854. very shortly after
the British evacuated New York, as
a paper Of that day phrased 1t. WED

East India ship in this harbor to a
very brilliant and respectable COM
pany, and discharge of thirteen can
non was fired on this joyful occasion"
On the same day-February 11th.
mark you-a select club of Wings
met in New York and celebrated the
occasion. One verse of a song they
sang went: Fill the glass to the brim,
Washington's health we'll drink-'tis
his birthday. Glorious deeds he has
done; by him our cause is won: long
live great Washington! Huzza!
Huzza!"
Gradually different cities began OBJ
serving the day of his birth. In the
year 1898 an especially grand i,all was
held in his honor in Philadelphia, fol-
lowed by an elaborate banquet with
many toasts to him and his deeds.
At birthday dance at Alexandria.
Va, in 1891, the distinguished as
semblage Of ladies and gentlemen
paused a moment or two while a por-
trait of washington was exhibited
amid unbounded enthusiasm - the
more SO since he was a personal friend
of the majority of the dancers pres
ent.
And so, when we celebrate his
birthday today, we should bear in
mind that we are continuing a GUS
tom that our forefathers started years
and years before us.

The voice was not sarcastic, nor
even facetious. The other relics stirred
uneasily, realizing full well now that
indeed the greatest among them had
spoken.
"Yes." continued the gentle voice
sadly, "I knew that wonderful woman
