D. A. R. CHAPTER HELD PICNIC THURSDAY EVENING.

General Van Rensselaer Chapter of the D. A. R. closed its year’s work with a picnic on the lovely lawn of the G. E. Murray home last evening. After a hearty supper, the evening was spent- in games and contests which sent each one home happy he had been there. One of the most enjoyable meetings of the year was the George Washington birthday dinner. Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Parkinson were the genial host and hostess. Mrs. Parkinson is a real granddaughter of the revolution. Her mother was a member of this chapter, her birthday being commemorated by meeting the 26th Of each month. The first regent who organized this chapter, Mrs. T. J. McCoy, was present. Together with the luncheons with Mrs. B. Forsythe and Mrs, H. J. Kannal and the musicale at Mrs. Ray Thompson’s, mark the social events of this year.
