The wedding will take place the early part of January. Mr. Walker is the son of Mrs. D. R. Walker and the late Mr. Walker, of Town Creek. 5 Engagement dnnounced Miss Toula Petalas, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. G. S. Petalas, of Wilmington, whose engagement is announced to Leonidas Markatos, of Norfolk, Va._ Historical Data Catalogued By National Society of DAR After nearly three years of pains taking effort, the National Society Daughters of the American Revo lution has completed an impressive catalogue of the genealogical and historical works in its famous li brary. For the first time in its history. Ithe D. A. R. has catalogued all of the 35,600 books and thousands of pamphlets and manuscripts in the genealogical library in Con stitution Hall in Washington, Mrs. Henry M. Robert, Jr., announced today. The catalogue, comprising near ly 600 pages will be ready for distribution the latter part of Jan uary. It will greatly facilitate the search for authentic material on American genealogy and records of the services of the patriots of 176 upon which eligibility to mem bership in the National Society is based. Compiled under the direction of Mrs. Vinton Earl Sisson of Chica go, Illinois, Librarian General, N. S. D. A. R., the Jubilee Edition has been dedicated to the Presi dent General Mrs. Robert. Nohing so comprehensive has ever been attempted heretofore by the National Society. In 1920 a pamphlet was issued covering part* of the library's books apd manu scripts. With the great growth of the library since then, making it today the foremost genealogical library in the country, the stupen dous task of publishing a catalogue finally became vitally necessary. Mrs. Sisson, proud of the fact that the regular library staff did all of the work in connection with the catalogue, declared: “Just as the Constitution records the thoughts and convictions of the Founders of this Nation, so our Library in Constitution Hall re cords the lives, the family re lationships, the community activi ties and the migrations of those early Americans. “It, too, is a memorial to the Founders of this republic. “The books on its shelves weave a romance of the building of this nation that cannot be d plicated anywhere else, for in many in stances our library contains the only known record of certain im portant data. “The tender care of some family that was justly proud of this long out of print record and prized it as an heirloom, with no thought of attachine Dublicitv to it. has preserved these facts for the use of posterity.” The D. A. R. Library is open daily to the public. It is used constantly by archivists, historians and genealogists who appreciate the facilities afforded by the Na tional Society for genealogical and historical research, particularly of the periods of early Colonial days and the American Revolution. The Library of the Daughters of the American Revolution is a mem ber of the American Library as sociation and is considered one of the finest libraries of its kind in the United States. 5 * * * EDUCATIONAL MEET OF MUSIC CLUB TO BE HELD THURSDAY The educational meeting of the Thursday Morning Music club will be held Thursday morning, Decem ber 19, at 11 o’clock at the home of Mrs. J.
