CEDmLOTTE DAILY OBSERVER, SUNDAY, MARCH 14, 1909. i X Ok Social and Personal Tha baautlful horn of Mr. Bugen Bettlar printed a patriotic acena ytMrdty afternoon at tna ranlaa. Uob f tna liberty Hall Chapter t tna Xauhtar af tha American ReTOhi tion. Tiva colonial achema of decora lion in tba moat minute detail waa very artiatlcally carried out. Imme diately la the centre of tha broad atalrway waa Uh Jnalnla of the Daufhtera of the American Revolu tion, made of blue cardboard, border ed with a-llt atara. Crowning thla were the letters Liberty Hall, the chap ter-a name. The large plllam were draped with the Stars and Stripes, with pictures of George and Martha Washington adorning each. The table at which the regent presided was draped with an American flag. In the centre waa she portrait of Nehemlah Wyman, the ancestor of the charming hostess. The centuries were Joined By i . picture of President Taf t. The din 'Jng room waa draped In colonial blue. On the table was a mound of amilax. ornamented with thirteen email flan representing the thirteen original States. Over the mound hung a liberty bell, whose clapper was an electric light, typifying the light which American Independence gave te the world. Delicious refresh ments were served frem colonial hats, and each guest waa given a souvenir, the picture of George Washington tied with the society colors. Mrs. Rellley was ably assisted by her guest, Mrs. E. C. Shrlner, and Misses Ruth and Laura Rellley. Af ter the meeting was called to order the. regent gve Interesting fact In connection with the chapter. She It seems fitting that we should gather on this, the 18th day of March, to organize the Liberty Hall Chapter f the nnuehtern of the American March. Decauae m Revolution. In Marcn, oecauno ,lr rwatirntinn of the United States warn if, Into operation March. 1789. p March Js the time of the Inception of the constitutional government of the American Union. It seems to portend good luck our meeting on the 13t'n if we will recall how 13 has figured so largely in the history of our country, thirteen Ftatfs and there are 1 let ters In the name North Carolina. Liberty Hall Chapter Is the thirteenth chapter orKaniied in the State. Tho lirt of charter members was mailed on the 13th of December and was recognized by the board on the 13th of January. The appointment of your regent was confirmed on the 13th and on the 13th of February she received her certificate. Since the original list went to Washington two of our num ber have withdrawn one on account of Illness In the family and one be cause of her removal from the city. The first was the 13th on the list, so the first substitute supplied on the ,'llst Is number 13 and one member assures me that 13 Is her lucky number, anl we trust she will prove our mascot. "It would appear that there is really more history clinging about' our Liberty Hall than we at first realised, for not only was it one of the first educational institutions In the South, but It was here that Major McClure drew his last breath In the same room where Ep.hralm Brevard retired to draw up th Mecklenburg Declara tion of Independence. If there is any thing in a name I am sure we have chosen wisely. "In order that each one may have a little token of the occasion I shall present each one with a leaf from one of the original shrubs grow n by Wash ington at his home at Mount Vernon. It was presented to me in 1805 on a visit to that place during continental congrees of the Daughters of the American Revolution. "The plate Is n' irly one hundred years old, being usnd at a dinner in Boston celebrating tfe two hundredth anniversary of the landing of the Pil grims and made in England for the occasion." A very historic gavel was presented bv Mrs. C. C. Hook. The knocker was made from a piece of dogwood from Roanoke Island, given by Mrs. Rufus Harrlnger. The handle was cut from an oak tree growing on tne ground where Liberty Hall stood. In present ing It to the chapter she told Its hH torv In a most charming manner. Mrs. C B. Brya-nt received the gavel and nsponded tn a few graceful and well chospn words. The first work of the chapter will be to put a marker on the Hrtorlc spot where the Liberty Hall stood.
