At the meeting of the United
Daughters Of the Confederacy held
yesterday afternoon at the bivouac it
was decided to celebrate the birthday
of General Lee, on January 18th,
with a large ball, at which the vet
Grams will be honor guests.
Mrs. R. F. Mitchell presided at the
meeting, at which number Of i'm
portant matters were transacted,
among which was the decision to ex-
tend an invitation to the state con-
vention to meet in Pensacola in 1918.
The next convention takes place in
May in Miami, but it is necessary to
make tentative plans in regard to
this meeting, in order to secure the
pledges of the various chapters.
Another important decision was
the naming of the Pensacola chapter
after some noted Confederate, and
it was decided to receive names at
the January meeting, to be voted
upon at the meeting in February.
The official report of the general
convention has been received from
the president of the state division,
who was the guest of the Pensacola
chapter, enroute from the convention
in Dallas. The following excerpts
from the report will be of interest to
all members of the U. d. c.:
Mrs. Cordelia Powell Odenheimer,
our president general, is a woman
of wonderful magnetism, her face
just beamed with love for her
Daughters and our glorious work.
In convention she was a dignified
presiding officer, commanding the
attention of everyone. In the hotel
at the receptions and in committee
room she impressed you as gentle
sweet, unassuming woman who is
| just one of you. Her response to our
welcome was short, showing that she
is a business woman, but it was
beautiful and was heartily applauded
Mrs. Odenheimer asked the con-
cention to endorse bill for preserv-
| ing important records in the war
department, and that each division
ask their congressman and senators
to pass it. Mrs. Odenheimer then
referred to the $4,000 that remained
to be collected at the time she had
written her report on Shiloh and Ar.
lington monuments and the window
in the Red Cross building. The Shi-
loh committee had not told their
president general that the $4,000
for Shiloh had been raised. That
was to be surprise for her. The
president general then spoke of the
veterans reunion to be held in the
spring of 1917 in Washington City
and urged that chapters cooperate
with her in stamping it as history
making epoch. She asked that di-
visions supply veterans with uni
forms, if possible, where they are
not able to buy them, as it was the
first and probably the only occasion
when they would meet in our ma

tion's capital. She urged more in
terest in our relief work, and also in
our Confederate museum, education
al work and children of the Confed-
eracy, saying we should bind our
children closely around us, for the
children of today would be the
Daughters of tomorrow, and it is
through them our work will live.
She spoke beautifully of the social
cpurtesies extended to her in our
honor, the SORROWS that were hers
because they were ours, in the pass
ing away of many familiar faces
and splendid workers.
The president general then read
her decisions and recommendations
and afterwards withdrew tAem.
Sister Esther Carlotta, who was
chairman of rules and regulations
committee, was next called on for
that report, which was accepted with
a few amendments. In speaking of
this report the Dallas press paid
Sister Esther Carlotta a beautiful
compliment by saying she was per-
haps the ablest parliamentarian in
the association.
The chairman Of education made
the following report: The U. D. C.
is now maintaining forty-five schol-
arships, valued at $685., through
the general association. Add to
these the sec 1-2 scholarships, val
ued at $58,66a offered by the TWEEN
ty-four states, and the total educa-
tional work of the association for
1916 is Gil 1-2 scholarships, valued
at $65,198.
The registrar general reported the
addition of 6,435 names during 1915,
bringing the total membership to 3d.
$40, and 400 U. D. C. pins were sold
at a profit of $779.O9. The custodian
of crosses reported 1880 crosses sent
out to the various divisions. The
Rose loving cup was won by Texas
ewoman for the best essay, the sub
ject being, 'The Misrepresentation
of Jefferson Davis in History and
i Fiction"
Three of the most important pieces
of work ever undertaken by the
Daughters are virtually completed,
so far as funds are concerned. Shi-
loh Monument is practically COM
pleted, and will be unveiled in 1917.
The debt on Arlington monument or
dered paid, and funds raised to COM
plete the Memorial window in Red
Cross building in Washington to the
memory of the women of the South.
Imortant new work for the year
1917 is the raising of $4,000 to help
erect a memorial to Jefferson Da-
Wis at his birthplace, Fairview, KY.
The next general convention will
be held in Chattanooga, Tenn.
The university prize, 500, was
awarded to Harold r. Blake, princi-
pal of lakewood school, Dayton, Ohio,
for the best essay on Confederate
! subject.

HAVE A RENDEZVOUS WITH |,
DEATH.

By Alan Seeger.

At some disputed barricade,
When Spring comes round with

And apple blossoms fill the air.

When Spring brings back blue days
and fair.
It may be he shall take my hand
And lead me into this dark land
And close my eyes and quench my
breath;

On some SCARED slope of battered
hill,
When Spring comes round again this
year
And the first meadow flowers

Pillowed in silk and scented down,
Where love throbs out in bliGsful
sleep,
Pulse nigh to pulse, and breath to

Where hushed awakenings are dear
But, I've a rendezvous with Death
At midnight in some flaming town
When Spring trips north again this
year,
And I to my pledged word am true

DANCE THIS EVENING FOR
THE PEARL EAGAN HOME

which he is to give for the Pearl
Eagan Home, which is inaugurated
this evening, Mr.. Fairchild SAID last
night that two-thirds of the pro-
ceeds will be donated to the home
each week, and that it is possible
other dances may follow this first
series.
There is no charity in Pensacola
which has the lore of the people, or
deserves wider patronage than does
the Pearl Eagan Home, and there is
no doubt but that the dance of this
evening will be largely patronized.
