DAUGHTERS Of 1872
MEET At BON|MMOOR
Mrs. Edward W. Biddle Addresses
the Session on Con
structive Peace"

Keystone Chapter, United States
Daughters of 1912. held its closing
meeting of the season to-day with Mrs
Arthur F. Nelson. of Bonnimoor. The
meeting, of more than unusual In
terest, was largely attended both by
local and by out-of-town members.
The principal feature of the pro-
gram was an address by Mrs. Edward
w. Biddle. of Carlisle, who spoke most
eloquently on Constructive Peace"
The regent, Mrs. Mabel Cronise Jones,
presided and before Mrs. Biddle's talk
gave q brief resume of the national
meeting, United States Daughters of
1912. held early in the month in New
York city, displaying some of the SOU
venirs of that occasion.
The Dolly Madison Chapter, of Pitts
burgh, had sent the regent copy of
booklet just brought out by them
containing history of its doings since
its organization some twenty years
ago. Mrs. Funk and Mrs. Dickinson
were appointed a committee to con-
slider the issuance of such a pamphlet
by the keystone Chapter and to report
on the matter of cost and details at
the first Fall meeting. Owing to the
death of both parents within the last
week, the treasurer. Mrs. James Ed
ward Dickinson, was not present and
the secretary was instructed to send
her note of deepest sympathy from
the chapter.
A request for further financial aid
was made in behalf of a real daugh-
ter" in Bellefonte, but as the amount
in the treasury was not known the
chapter authorized such a check as
might seem suitable later on to the
treasurer and the regent.
At the national meeting in New York
city the various chapters made ex-
hibits of their work and that sent in
by the keystone Chapter was pro-
nounced the fullest and the most at
tractive by the committee in charge
of the work.
The chapter voted to invite the state
convention, United States Daughters
of 1912. to meet in Harrisburg in the
Spring of 1916.
The national officers have asked the
local chapter to cooperate in the
marking of graves of the soldiers of
1912, handsome bronze grave marker
being especially prepared for the pur-
pose by a prominent firm whose de-
sign was accepted by the national
board.
The regent having been asked to
look up data on the matter. appointed
Miss Catherine Irwin Egle, Mrs. Chris
tian w. Lynch and Mrs. John n.
McCulloch to report to her at the first
Fall meeting on the location and
number of the graves of 1912 soldiers.
program was the brilliant duet from
Madame Butterfly" artistically sung
by Mrs. Roy G. Cox and Miss Mary
Seaman.
The 1912 bulletins were distributed
by the secretary, Miss May Fox, and
after further musical numbers and
current events by the regent the busi-
ness session of the meeting closed and
the members were entertained at
luncheon by their hostesses, Mrs Nell
son, Miss Anne u. Vert and Mrs
Charles F. Etter. The beautiful
grounds, full of June roses, made Bon

prevented from walking about by the
continued rain.
