MEETING OF D. A. R. ?
The April meeting of the Hob
kiik, Hill Chapter D. A. R. was held
on Thursday afternoon at the resi
deuce <>f Mrs. C. J. Shannon, Sr.,
her daughter, Mis. R. Y. Steedman,
being hostess. In the absence of
the Recording Secretary the Re
gent requested Mrs. 8. R Adams to
act in her place. Jt proved a most
pleasant occnsion, and matters of
interest wero discussed. The Re
gmt stated* that she had appointed
Mrs. Theodore Purler, of Charles
ton, an associate member of the
Chapter, to represent the Chapter
at the ceremonies attending the
presentation of. the Flag by the
Daughters of the AnoariciU Revo
lution in 8?uih Carolina, to the
Battleship bearing tho honored
name. A very floe^aper was pre
pared and read by Miss L. 8. Net
ties on Benedict Arnold, which was
much appreciated. After partak
ing; of delicious refreshments the
Chapter enjoyed a beautiful rendi
tion of "Ben Bolt," and all agreed
that this meeting had been most
successful in carrying out the as
signed program of the Year Book.
The occaaton was overshadowed
by the realisation that since our
last meeting ado of onr numbei
.had been called away from her
tnrtb'y tabofi, and wiih saddened
voices it was resolved:
