On, Monday afternoon February 22,
The Daughters of the American Revo-
lution held another of the delightful
Colonial Teas” at the home of Mrs.
C. J. Dibrell. The spacious rooms,
high ceiling and poster beds needed
but little decorations to make it a
fitting setting for the occasion. The
American flag was atistically display-
ed and red carnations lent their touch
of charm.
Miss Peggie Jackson, dressed as
young George, together with Mjss
Cherril Maddox as Martha, quaintly
gowned in “ye old time costume,”
opened the door to the guests and
gladdened the hearts by their grace-
ful courtesy. The hostess, Mrs. C. J.
Dibrell, passed the guests down the re-
ceiving line in which stood the regent,
Mrs. Sumpter Weatherred, Mesdames
Tye Overall, R. W. McClellan, H. B.
Wilson, Karl Wallace and W. C. Wood-
ward each wearing a period costume.

where cherry pie oma-
topped with a red cherry, to give the
reminder to which was added a cup
or hot coffee poured from gleaming
silver urns, presided over by Mes-
daSeS w Pitts and Robert Bailey.
Mrs. C. M Alexander registered the
hundred callers in a register fittingly
covered.with an American flag.
Santa Anna members were very
'srtsstxz*"'
The “teas” are expected to be an-
nual affairs, so we trust in 1927 our
hospitality will be taxed a little nidre
and that all members will be suitably
gowned in that we may get full credit
for our large membership.
We are proud of our chapter and
that for which it stands.
