R. Thursday At The Home of Mrs. A. T. Hill Relief Society Holds Meeting The Washington's birthday lunch i eon held Thursday at 1 o'clock at the home of Mrs. A. T. Hill, on First; street, was a most colorful affair; tor i the members of the La Grande chap-! ter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, having as their guesta a score or more of women eligible to membership, appeared in lovely col onial costumes, younger women and matrons wearing lovely shades of pink and yellow and green and lavender, with powdered hair or snow-white Wigs. This picture of women, gowns and crowns of white hair, had a beau- ! tiful setting too, for the Hill homej was raofet attractive, with its decora- j tlohs harmonizing with the national colors. Especially striking was the ; living room where the console set carried tapers of matching color with red and white carnations and blue pussy willows. ,i The luncheon was served at 1 o'clock with the menu including Items appropriate to the day, such as Virginia baked hamf southern sweet potatoes, Martha Washington pie.

Washington's birthday Is one day of the year, which Daughters of the Am erican Revolution never fail to ob serve. Flag day in June being the other of two days Invariably recog nized. While nothing of a biographi cal nature of the first president was presented at yesterday's program, a short trlbuto from John Hyde Pres ton was read, and In compliance with numerous requests It 1b included here : ,"fto greatness is as difficult to de fine as It Is to measure. As a gen eral, other men have excelled him. Any amateur militarist can pick holes in his strategy. Grant and Robert E. Lee could have easily won all the battles he lost. And yet it Is very doubtful that they could have won the Revolution. Perhaps he is the only man in history who could have held together those disorganized, mongrel states and led them to final victory. H won the war by the one thing nobody had counted on when they appointed him commander-in-chief in 1776. He won It by his char acter. . . . Character Implies a com bination of selflessness, vigor, Intel ligence, courage and steadfastneess. Washington had all five. He added to these his charm, his silence, his profound capacity for love. Other men have qualities, he had character. "He was a leader who could not be led. a man who governed only to serve, an Idealist who would fight for his Ideals. That is why he will re main forever the republican hero, America's "rock of ages."
