General Van Bensselaer Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, entertained their husbands and friends at the home of Dr. and Mrs. E. O. English Friday evening, in honor of Washington’s birthday. Mrs. A. B. Hopkins played a medley of national airs on the piano and this was followed by a recital of her trip abroad by Miss Edith Shedd. She began with her departure from New York City, told of the trip across the Atlantic, of the interesting points visited in England, in Paris, Switzerland, Germany and Holland. Miss Shedd talked for an hour and twenty minutes but it did not seem nearly so long to the delighted listeners, who were very much entertained and instructed.
