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 the Atlanta W Oman’s Club two terms, one is efficient and well trained to lead t.ie chapter forward in its work. The first vice president, Mrs. P. H. Mell, was one of the officers of the War Relief Association, w-hich did such valiant work for the soldiers In the European war. and is also a distinguished mem ber of the Daughters of the American Revolution, having several bars to her badge, representing revolutionary an cestors who fought for America.

The third vice president is Mrs. Wil liam H. Kiser, daughter of the founder of the Joseph Habersham Chapter, and Mrs. W. L.

High, at the reception given the members of the Atlanta Chap ter, D. A. R., Wednesday afternoon was a very handsome one. brought from Hol land by Mrs. High on one of her trips abroad. The wheel was tied with blue and white ribbons, the chapter colors, and flax flowers w-ere used in place of the flax on the Hpindlf. Surrounding the spinning wheel were crystal candlesticks, thirteen in all, rep resenting the thirteen original States, each one tied with the chapter colors. A garland of blue French pinks and fragrant cape jessamines placed on the lace cover inclosed the wheel and can dles. On the sandwich table was an antique platter, an original willow piece over a hundred and fifty years old. which belonged to an ancestor of Mrs. High. Old-fashioned gladioli and cape jes samines adorned the dining room. The punch bowls stood in beds of nastur tiums and geranium blooms on the wide verandas.
