Mrs Eugene H. Darrach. regent OF the

indianapolis who have added to the high
esteem in which her organization is held
not only in the State, but in National D.
A. r. circles. Although she is only in

she is planning to establish q chapter

the local society where the properties of
the chapter may be kept and also where

come for business and for rest. She
hopes that from this beginning may be
developed a chapter house which will
eventually become the property of the
State organization, and which may be the
means Of bringing all the chapters of
the State into a closer relation as one
great body.

domestic tastes. Home making is one of
her hobbies Upon her return from the
Continental Congress of the d. A. R. in
Washington last week she said the thing
that impressed her most in the work rec
commended by the convention was the bet

day as proficient in the arts of house
making as were the good women of we
