TO HOLD A BIG FAIR

Daughters Of The Confederacy To Arrange For One Today.

The Daughters of the Confederacy in the State of Maryland, Baltimore Chapter No. 8, propose holding an entertainment during the first week of next December for the benefit of the Confederate Monument Fund. A special meeting of the chapter has been called for today in Lehmann’s Hall, at 3 P. M., to discuss matters connected with the affair.

The plan at present is to have tables representing the Confederate States, the decorations being entirely of flowers of the South.

South Carolina will be represented by yellow jasmine and palmetto.
Maryland-Pansy and holly.
Virginia-Red roses and Virginia creeper.
North Carolina-Yellow roses and pine.
Georgia-Peach blossom and arbor vita.
Florida-Orange blossoms and orange trees.
Alabama-Crepe myrtle and corn.
Mississippi-Cape jasmine and cotton bolls.
Louisiana-Magnolia and sugar cane.
Texas-Oleander and muscadine grapes.
Tennessee-Laurel and rhododendron.
Kentucky-Trumpet vine and hemp.
Missouri-Scarlet poppy and wheat.
Arkansas-Cherokee rose and chinquapin.

In conjunction with the tables a series of amateur theatricals, tableaux, concerts, Punch and Judy shows and “Alice in Wonderland” will be given and Mr. Polk Miller will give one of his inimitable lectures. The affair will be held in the old Fifth Regiment Armory.

Among the ladies who have already accepted the chairmanship of tables are:

Mrs. Charles Goldsborough, Virginia; Miss Giffen, Louisiana; Mrs. M. Gillet Gill, Alabama; Mrs. F. T. Miles and Mrs. Edgar M. Lazarus, South Caro-lina; Mrs. R. C. Barry, Maryland; Mrs. C. H. Painter, North Carolina; Mrs. W. T. Brantly, Geor-gia: Mrs. O. B. Jones, Missouri; Mrs. W. Stewart Polk, Tennessee; Mrs. Walter R.

Bowly Wilson and Miss Alice Key Blunt, Maryland Line Relic Room.

After a discussion today of the plans connected with the projected entertainment, several interesting papers will be read—one by Mrs. Columbus Schriver entitled “A Humble Daughter of the Confederacy,” giving the life and adventures of an old “Virginia Mammy.” The president-Mrs. Wright-will read an original poem on Stonewall Jackson.

The chairman of the committee on music, Mrs. B. Jones Taylor, has arranged an elaborate program, assisted by Mr. Frederick Supplee and Miss Louisa Wright Neilson. Mrs. Robert Randolph and Mrs. S. Johnson Poe will have charge of the tea tables. It is earnestly requested that ail the members of the society will be present at this meeting.
