Wilmington threw wide her doors an.', entertained right royally. The Cape Fear Chapter gave an elegant reception at-the Orton-Hotel and an excursion to the beach. The Wilmington Light In fantry gave a delightful reception in their armory and, many private social functions were given the Daughters. After the adjournment of the chapter Mrs. Daniels threw open her ojmng room and served de.!icious refieshmer.ts. Her table was beautifully unique. Over the handsome table was spread an ex quisite piece of Mexican work. In the center was a vase holding crimson and white carnations. On one corner was a handsome bronze candelebra holding crimson roses, out of which glowed' in soft radiance crimson candles. On the opposite side was a stack of miniature gnus tied with crimson ribbon. The tout enssemble of the dining room well deserved the many compliments paid it. It was indeed the most enjoyable meeting the chapter ever held On "December 18th the Daughters, will meet with Mrs. F. A. Olds in the Park Hotel. This chapter will fiimisji a memorial room in the Soldiers' Home to Mr. W. C, Stronach. Secondly, we take up hospital work. The 42 ladies who belong to the hospital association have done and are still doing a noble work for Rex Hospital. Besides equipping and keeping in order the handsome operating room, an en dowed cot is kept up; at the cost of $250 a year. This is a memorial cot and in it are treated female patients from anywhere in the State, outside of this city's limits. This association asks that names of persons be sent it, of any ode who needs 'and wishes hospital treatment and has not the means to pay for same. For some time past the man agement of Rex Hospital was fa from desirable and the people of Raleigh, in many instances, were discouraged. This is all changed. The present, manage ment is most highly endorsed by the physicians who are in-dailv attendance there, and the Ladies', Hospital Aid Association has pledged itself "to hA J up the hands" of Mrs. Laurence, the superintendent. The hospital has but a scanty income when one takes into con sideration the many, patients who are cared for there. Mrs. Laurence took hold of a dilapidated institution with a meagre income and a back debt of $109 to 'be met. She lias done this, but by working for weeks herself in mending, not only the worn out bedding, bu the old mattresses as well. Was this right? What have the members of the Board of Aldermen to say to this? Do thev real ize that in, cutting down the city's ap propriation of $2,0:o a year, that they crippled an institution that is doing more than it legitimately can to allevi ate suffering and save life? shame on them for this action. Can th".r not be shown the injustice they are doing them flves. the city and "ffle hospital and then right themselves by doimr th right thing toward Rex Hospital. We will impatiently wait, and see. The seventh number of the North Carolina Booklet is out. It is frori th pen of Prof. D. H. Hill, of the Agri cultural and Mechanical College, and the title is "Green's Retreat." This fa mous move of Col. Otho Williams to lead off Cornwallis' army on a false trail, is known to all who are well up on Revolutionary history, but Prof. Hill has so comprehensively written it, in, his article "Green's Retreat." that one can almost, picture the Toute in the mind and feel a thrill of triumph as we read after the army were safe across the river in the camp of Greene joy beamed in every face."
