I T will be of general interest 4o the
Daughters of the American Revo
lution to know something of the
work of the Joseph Habersham Chap
ter, D. A. R., since it has had, and is
to have, so large a part in the social and
artistic life of Atlanta. The chapter has
furthered social affairs in manv ways
giving pageants, fetes, teas, conducting
cafes, and entertaining at weekly-
dances. which were largely attended by
the younger dancing set.
When the State convention met here
early in the spring, the Joseph Haber
sham Chapter was host for the dele
gates, and its social affairs were bril
liant. The series of open air piavs to
be given by the chapter bids fair to be
come one of the popular diversions dur
ing the summer.
Another splendid achievement of the
year was the historical work done by-
Mrs. W. L. Peel, who published a set
of genealogical volumes for the chap
ter that have been one of the good con
tributions to that class of books. These
books sold so rapidly that at present
there are very few left, and these will
be sold at once to any one deserving
them, the money to go to the building
fund for Habersham Hall.
Habersham Hall will be erected on the
lot next to the home of Nym McCul
lough in Peachtree road and will be
started In the fall. In her report at the
meeting when new officers were elected
for the chapter, Mrs. William Percy
stated that the chapter raised $3,500 in
the last year, that there were 370 mem
bers in the chapter, and that the new
chapter house would be built and occu
pied next year.
It was in memory of the Joseph Hab
ersham Chapter, Mrs. W. L. Peel, who
established Georgia Day and other fea
ture days, which have become popular.
^ Miss Carolyn Cobb, grand-
na!!f„ of » one of Georgia’s most bril
liant Confederate generals, directing the
al fresco plays planned for the summer,
additional Interest has developed in the
chapter. It will be interesting to know-
something of the personnel of the offi
cial board which was named at the re
cent election of officers. Mrs. A. P.
!u 0les ; new re S enl - "as president of

T HE spinning wheel used on the
