MEETS HERE Skokie Valley Chapter Opens Sea- son With Prominent Guests and Speakers at Luncheon GOOD FURNITURE MAKES THE HOME The Skokie Valley chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution opened its season for the current year with a guest luncheon at the Indian Hill Country club. Besides being a charming place for such an occasion, the site of this clubhouse is on one of the most historically interesting spots along the north shore and especially interesting to the members of this or- ganization. The Indian Hill clubhouse has a cabinet filled with Indian relics found when the excavation for the foundation of the building was made. The chapter entertained regents of the Chicago and north shore chapters among whom were Mrs. Fox, regent of the General Henry Dearborn chap- ter; Mrs. Ward of the Fort Dearborn chapter; Mrs. Garnett, of the North Shore chapter; Mrs. Hobart Young of the Kaskaskia chapter; Mrs. Winthrop Girling, ex-regent of the Glencoe chap- ter; and Mrs. Dixson of the Chicago chapter. Besides these regents, prominent state and national officers were pre- This Duncan Phyfe sent, who, after the luncheon, gave short talks. Mrs. Fannie Cope, regent, opened the afternoon with a few words of greeting and the entire group gave the salute to the flag. Mrs. Ames, ex-na- tional vice-president general of the D. A. R, led in prayer, and this was fol- lowed by a very interesting talk by the national recording secretary-general, Mrs. Earle. Mrs. Earle has recently returned from England, where, repre- senting the D. A.

A [ shabby, run-down place with a dila- | pidated wooden gateway at its en- | trance and the words 'American Ceme- | tery' printed in plain black letters across the top.

This was dedicated with beautiful ceremony last June. Secre- tary Wilber of the United States Navy, sent the U. S. cruiser, Detroit across to Plymouth with an escort of 42 sail- ors to attend the service and it was an impressive sight when the American ship came into harbor. The Admiral of the British navy took part in the program and placed a wreath on the gateway and the Daughters of 1812 also placed a wreath there. Mrs. Earle said that all over the kingdom great enthusiasm was expressed by the press and public generally over this bit of patriotism. Mrs. Earle also said that there were flourishing D. A. R. chapters in both London and Paris and that one in Liv- erpool and one in Rome are expected in the near future. Mrs. Sweeney, the state regent of Illinois, told of the work being done by the D. A. R. and gave a very in- spiring talk of encouragement and good will to the Skokie Valley chapter. Mrs. Bowman, the former state regent, who organized this chapter a few years ago, also spoke. Mrs. Herrick, ex-regent of a Chi- | cago chapter, who is now one of com- | brought mittee of eleven in charge of the new building, Constitutional hall, now un- der construction in Washington, spoke of this million dollar project and plans of the building. The funds for this building have all been pledged and the corner stone will be laid on October 30. It is a huge prop- osition and will contain an auditori- um to seat 4,000 delegates and will house a very fine historical library. The next regular meeting of the | chapter will occure the fourth Monday in the month. Announcement of the program will be made later.
