DAUGHTER OF GENERAL.
LEEAHONORED, 4f

-gs'
With each year interest in the an
nuals Confederate Veteran Reunion
seems to grow from the reason that
with every succeeding spring the
ranks of the veterans in gray grew
thinner and the marches necessarily
shorter, because of the fact that fail
ing bodies and tagging feet cannot
keep pace with the gallant spirit ami
mating the soul of the south's honored
heroes. For several years past the
whisper circulated that this particular
spring would probably witness the
last reunion of the comrades in gray.
So when the announcement was made
during the past week by General Geo.
Paul Harrison, commanding the Uni
ted Confederate Veterans of his ap-
pointment for the reunion to be held
this year in June in Washington, D. c.,
gneral satisfaction was evidenced.
Miss Mary Curtis Leet, the daugh-
lcE VI dSllSIdI 1lODClI H. Ice, was
paid the highest honor, being chosen
sponsor for the south. The two maids
of honor to the sponsor for the south
include Miss Willie Gertrude Storey,
of Texas, and Miss Marion Anis Green,
of Kentucky; Mrs. Walter d. Lamor
of Georgia, is appointed chaperone
and Mrs. F,,lnk G. Odenheimer, pres
ident general of the United Daughters
of the Confederacy, is ex-officio matron
of honor.
Another patriotic event of the
spring will occur when the sons of the
American Revolution will hold their
annual convention in Nashville on May
21-22, 1917.
The headquarters of the congress
will be at the Hermitage hotel, assem-
bly, hall. The ladies of the three D.
A. R. Chapters Of that city, the Co.
lonial Danes and the ladies Of the
Hermitage association will have re-
ceptions at several private homes and
probably at the Country Club Monday
afternoon for the visiting ladies'.

The Symphony Club, the Music
Study club of Cordele, is doing some
fine work, that is manifest to great
er degree in each succeeding pro-

week, when the club held its meeting
with Mrs. Cocker, included the lives
and compositions of the masters, Listz

turned Thursday afternoon and have
started housekeeping ain the Geo. II.
Petersen house on the north corner
of west 4th street.
In the annual flag shoot held at
Kimballton last Sunday, the Kimball-
ton team emerged victors. Unlike
in past years. only three clubs. Kim
ballton, Hamlin and Elk Hor- COM
Deted for the flag this yea. The
BraytOn club did not enter the COM
petitive shoot because of lack of men.
That the retail business is flou-
rishing in Kimballton is evidenced
by the fact that during the past sum-
mer five local business establish
ments have found it necessary to en-
large the building housing their bust
ness.
The many friends of Hans Fred
ricksen will be pleased to learn that
mitted to an operation at hospital

The sketch illustrates one Of the
clever little party frocks that are now
being shown for the younger members
of the family. The dress is made of
pale green chiffon over a pink slip.
buds are embroidered at intervals on
the narrow. full ruffies which finish the
bottom and sleeves of the frock. The
dress fastens in the center back.
This dress is quaint and OF the type
that grandma used TO wear It
would be very dainty for a little girl
the juveniles seem destined to run the
social program of the coming winter
season 1t is extremely important that
sufficient number of party dresses be
included in the wardrobe Of each little
girl.
To make this dress for six-year-
old girl three yards Of material thirty
six inches wide will be required.
If desired. small ribbon bows may be
set on instead of the embroidered flow
ers. or. II the embroidery is done: 1t
may be applied in a loose stitch that
will not make the task an appalling
one.
A little dress of this kind would
make very charming. and undouhted-
ly very acceptable. Christmas gift for
a child. There seems no doubt that use
full gifts will be the vogue this year.
and items of wearing apparel will take
first rank.
Dotted swiss is being used for many
of the little party dresses. with en-
broidery done in color serving to en-
bellish them. Sometimes the colored
white dots to form border where de-
sired, and again cross stitch designs
are used.
