The luHt regular meeting of the year was held on Thursday after noon with Mrs. S. H, Adams, at her homo , on ea?t DeKalb street. A lovely day in June, "with Ju?t enough cloud to temper the glare of the sun," and with a soft breeze, flower-laden and fragrant, ' sweep ing thru the BpaclouB old piazzas and Into the wide opened doors and windows of the quaint old rooms. An Ideal day for the gathering of the D. A. R. for the last regular meeting of their chapter year. The meeting was well attended, all the officers with one exception, being present and sixteen members ans wering to roll-call. This last meet ing was distinctively a business* meeting and besides the annual election of officers, a resume of the year's work was had. Questions of interest were discussed and vot ed on and subjects of importance were completed and adjusted which would otherwise have to be extend ed to another *year. The Regent's report of the years work ? more es pecially of the repairing and beau tifying of the Chapter Hal! ? was very interesting and satisfactory. The year ha^ been a pleasantly successful one, In which good and ^rofttabl* work- has been -combined with social enjoyment. To the fine executive ability and energy of the Regent, mijcty of this .success Is. due, and the Chapter is thoroughly ap-, preclative. The Chapter was sor ry to learn that Miss Cornelia Nel Bon. would, on account of pressing duties, be unable to fill the treas urers office again. These officers were chosen for the ensuing year: Mrs. E. C. von Tresckow, regent; Miss L. S. Net tles, vice-regent; Mrs. S. R. Adams, secretary,; Mrs. Q. H. Lenoir, treas urer; Mrs. J. L. Guy, registrar; Mrs. Jno. Canteyc historian; Mrs. ?M. , A.
