Peggy stewart Chapter Most Active.


Older in point of years of its or
;,anization, than most of the other
woman activi'- Is IN the social life of
Annapolis is the Peggy Stewart Tea
Party Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution. The past year
the chapter has, for it's membership,
made a far greater showing in war
activities than any other in Mary
land. With money formerly used to
mark historic spots and erect memoir
ials, it has bought Liberty bonds, con-
tributed to the fund for the relief of
Belgium, the French Orphan fund.
bought Thrift and War Savings
stamps, helped the Red Cross in active
service and aided individually and col
lectively in all departments of war
work.
On Bastile day, the chapter held a
memorial service with an appropriate
program at st. Johns college. and at
the monument for French soldiers and
sailors on the rear campus of the col
lege, where a laurel wreath was
placed as fitting tribute to the valor
of the nation who came to our aid then
and for whose aid this nation has re-
ceitJy given its young manhood For
nearly the entire twelve months of
1918, the Peggy Stewart Tea Party
Chapter, ID. A. r. had as its regent
Mrs. ID. NJ. Garrison, woman of rare
executive ability, who entered into the
spirit of the work and proved herself
ia leader among women. To her is due
the great things accomplished by the
chapter in 1918 in every line Of war
work, which stands out creditably in
d. A. r. endeavor in Maryland. Upon
the shoulders of Miss Katherine Wal
ton, her successor. Mrs. Garrison's
mantle has gracefully fallen.

Woman's activities in the churches.
can only be touched upon. In this
community they are too well known to
need comment The Ladies Aid. the
various guilds, the missionary socie-
ties are all doing splendid work The
Girls Friendly, that noble, old or
ganization that is doing such an earn
est, far-reaching work with young
girls, and which is headed by Miss
Cora Heffenger and Mrs. E. d. john
son, deserves highest commentator
The 8. p. c. A. in which women are
largely interested, although its presi-
dent is gentleman, has accomplished
great things for the humane treat
ment of those who cannot speak for
themselves
The Y. w. C. A. is still "a-borning. :"
Every effort is being made to organize
the work of the Blue Triangle in the
county of Anne Arundel, but its sue
cess is still in doubt.
Women of the city and county have
been active at the Hostess house at
Camp Meade, with Mrs. r. B. DashielI.
chairman of the Hospitality commit
tee, scores of women have served the
soldiers at the cantonment,' among
them Mrs Harrington, wife of the gov
ernor, who has deemed it a privilege
to enter into this work.
School Supervisor, Miss Kelly, has
done work that is really worth while
and cannot fail to make the public
schools better throughout the county.
Truant Officer, Mrs. Chas. G. Ware,
while only beginning her work will
make herself force in this communi-
ty, where she will tactfulIy act as an
intermediary between parent and child
TO the extent that children will not
want to play truant, but will attend
school because of their love for it.
What has woman not done in the
year just ended? Certainly there is
nothing that she should have done
that she has left undone.
