A large gathering~of members of
Stone Castle Chapter, D. A. r., were
/ cordially received on Thursday after
noon by Mrs. j. G. Dean and Miss
Mamie Dean at their hospitable
home, unusually attractive with the
spring flowers. In the dining room,
where the guests were assembled, a
tall vase of Easter lilies formed the
centerpiece of the highly polished
table, while fragrant carnations and
roses added to the exquisite decorat-
i've scheme in keeping with the glad
Eastertide. America" was beauti-
fully sung, followed by the Lord S
prayer in concert. Business matters
of Importance were briefly consider
ed Attention was again called to
the proposed cake and pie sale which
at previous meeting had been
agreed upon to be put on Thanks
giving week. The regent explained
that the reason for bringing it before
the chapter so long before the date
set was that all might bear it in
mind during the summer vacation
so as to come together in the fall
we'll prepared for making the sale
splendid success. The chapter is
gratified to have two representatives
in attendance on the Continental
Congress, Mrs. Gunnels and Miss
Gunnels having gone to Washington
to meet with that distinguished body.
Reports from committees showed
that all had been at work for the best
interests of the chapter. Mrs. W. S.
Dozier's labor of love" in compiling
names of revolutionary soldiers from
the Cherokee grant places us under
deep obligation to her for the valua-
BILE document. The names of four
new members were reported to fill
vacancies caused by transfers-Mrs.
]. R. Webb, Mrs. Rosa Thornton Mel
ton, Mrs. Annie Thornton and Miss
Nellie Fargason. They were heartily
welcomed. We were also pleased to
have present Mrs. Eubanks, a new
member, and Mrs. Charles J. Greene,
an out-of-toWn member. With regret
the chapter accepted the resignation
of Mrs. J. D. Weaver, the efficient
treasurer. The regent made happy
selection in the appointment of Mrs.
Sallie James to fill the unexpired
term.
Roll call brought responses from
each member in echoes from the re-
cent state convention, which proved
very instructive as we'll as interest
ing. A paper on ''Heraldry," pre-
pared by Mrs. A. ]. Carver some
months ago, Was read by Mrs. L. G.
Hoyl, Jr. 1t showed deep research
and careful preparation. On motion
of Mrs. Lowrey a request will be
made that it be placed in the archives
of the chapter. Mrs. Nellie Geise
Harrell delighted the company with
a musical selection, which ended the
program.
The social hour was so full of
pleasure the guests were loath to
break away. Sandwiches and tea
and strawberries and cream with
cake made a feast fit for the gods
and beautiful to the eye as we'll.
Sweet peas in all the soft pastel
shades were the favOrs that each
guest carried away. Those assisting
in entertaining were Mesdames j. r.
Mercer, J. S. Lowrey, B. NJ. Davidson
and Miss Nellie Fargason. Music by
little Miss Clementine Marlin was
enjoyed along with the other good
things provided.
Mothers Day" will be observed at
the next meeting of the chapter in
May, the committee having arranged
a pleasing program for that occa-
sion.
