WASHINGTON
The February meeting of the Nor-
waik Chapter. D. A. R. was held at
the Royal James Hotel, yesterday at-
ternoon. The session was held on the
third Thursday of the month instead
of the fourth in order that the organ-
ization might pay tribute to the “Fa-l
ther of the Country." George Wash-
ington. One hundred and three peo-
ple attended the session. including
guests from out of town.
After the usual singing of "Ameri-
ca.” prayer by the chaplain and the
salute to the flag. e. fancy dance was
given by two of Miss Mildred Ailer's
pupils. little Miss Miriam Bearse and
Miss Wilhelmina Betta. a most grace- .
which won!
ful and finished affair.
hearty applause. The dance was
named “Air de Ballet."
Mrs. Morton R. McCausland. the re-
gent, then introduced Mrs. Harvey Ty-
son \Vhite. regent of the Ellen Hardin
\V‘aiworth Chapter. I). A. 11.. of new
York. Her opening remarks were ap-
proprinte. to the day. She paid a fit-
ting tribute to George \\'o.shington.
speaking of him as one of the great-.
bring- '
est men who has ever lived.
ing out the fine. strong traits of his
character. She told that more than
once the colonists offered to make him
king, but his good Judgment would
not permit such a. thing to be. and
each time he refused. She alto spoke
of Martha “‘ashington' his wife. of
whom she thought enough had not
been said as she was a woman of re-
murkahlc {liliiilr and in every way a
remarkable help to her husband. Dur-
ing the war and at the time of the
awful winter at Valley Forge. she.
with the aid of a few more. did the
first real Red Cross work. making
and sending 2.500 garments to the
soldiers. and doing this without the.
help of sewing machines. She then
told of the establishment of the D. A.
it" which was done in \V’ashington.
Fifty women were called to the meet-
ing and only three reported. To theSP
three belong the honor of forming the
first D. A. R. chapter.
In speaking of the work of the
chapters. Mrs. \V'hite said that some
one in Massachusetts had said that
the only thing that the D. A. R. ac-
complished was the erection of monu-
ments; that they had made the state
a graveyard. To prove that more was
done than this, she spoke of the work
of education of the mountain whites
and other educational work. such as
Americanization work. She also told
how much good money raised by the
D. A. R. did at the. detention station
at Ellis Island in showing the people
there how to spend their time while
waiting for deportation.
Another pupil of Miss Aller. Min
Eileen McMahon, gave a pretty dance
entilted "Columbine." which was
heartily applauded. At this point. a
Colonial character. represented . as
Mistress Dolly Madison. came into ‘thc
room. stepping gracefully to the tune
of the old minuet. Her real name was
Mrs. Lucy Allen Smark and she gave
a monologue. taking the part of
Dolly Madison and in her quaint
Colonial yellow satin gown. she made
a charming picture. She told of much
of her life from the time her illus-
trious husband, James Madison, was
senator to the time he was made
president of the United States. She
also told of the beautiful home in
Virginia. called Monticella. to which.
they so often ’Wt‘nt for rest and quiet.
She said that she. had been brought
up a Quakeress. but when she'mar-
ried Mr. Madison she had to change
her dress. learn the minuet. and in
fact led anything but a quiet life. She
said that she loved the entertaining
of which they did so much. She gave
a glorious tribute to the "Star Span~
gled Bannerffl written by Francis
Scott Key during the Madison admin-
istration. She closed by appealing to
the better nature to promote peace
and harmony within the country. The
meeting closed with a dance. "Cape
Runaway Polka" by Miss Consuella
Dawson and Miss Bertha Scofield and
the wonderful facial expression of the
two children added much to the
charm of the dance. Mrs. Edward
Shine accompanied this dance on the
piano.
