At present the Southern Relief
Home boasts some beautiful and his
toric old mahogany pieces, but they
were the property of Miss Heth and
all of her furniture will go to her
relatives, save the Washington
which she inherited
from some of her distinguished fore
bears. These she has bequeathed to
the National Society of Colonial
Danes, to be placed in the National
Museum At the time of the san
Francisco Exposition. Miss Heth was
hostess for Virginia. and all this his
toric old furniture was sent to Sar
Francisco by the State-and brought
back again-to be placed in the Nir-
ginia State building.
The Southern Relief Society, Of
course, does all Of its relief work
outside the home in the quietest man
ner, but as an example of the type
of person whom it helps l might
cite one old lady over eighty. who
speaks half a dozen languages. Dur
ing the war she was commandeered
by the War Department as trans
lator and since. after a time, she was
not able to make the trip to the de-
partment, it was arranged that n car
should be sent to take her to and
from her work. She has proved so
valuable and translators were so
scarce that the Department refused to
let her go until after the armistice.
But now, of course, the demand for
work of that kind has slackened.
Consequently this little woman.
Eentlewoman and highly cultivated,
finds herself in Strengthened circum-
stances. Mrs. George Covington is In
charge of relief work.
