C., APRIL 24, Brilliant Receptions Held For D. A. R. Members The past week has been replete with teas, receptions and social gatherings of the state societies in the Thirtieth Congress of the national society Daughters of the American Revolu- tion. There were a thousand guests in line to meet the national president general, Daughters of the American Revolution, Mrs. George Maynard Minor, at_the Memorial Continental Hall on Tuesday evening, and the reception given by the District of Columbia chapters, with Our Flag Chapter as hostess, in honor of Mrs. Howard L. Hodgkins. president of the Federation of Women's Clubs, was one of the most brilliant held during the Congress. More than twelve hundred guests attended this reception, which was held at the Washington Club. In the receiving line with Mrs. Hodg- kins were the president general; Mrs. George Maynard Minor, president of the National Officers’ Society of the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, Mrs. George Thacher Gurnse) and the state regent for the Distric of Columbia. Mrs. Francis A. St. Clair. The clubrooms were handsomely decorated throughout with long stemmed sweetheart roses. Mrs. May Dunkinson and Mrs. William B. Hardy, vice regent of the District D. A. R., served the ices. Thursday afternoon President and Mrs. Harding received the largest line of Daughters that ever greeted a Presidént. The President and Mrs. Harding were most gracious and all the daughters were much pleased Wwith their charming hospitality. The charm to be found only among children pervaded at the reception given following the onpg at the White House, when Mrs. Violet Blair Janin, 12 Lafayette square, national treas- urer of the Children of the American Revolution, acted as hostess to that branch of the society, and the guests of honor were the national president general of the Children of the Revolu- tion, Mrs. Frank W. Mondell. and Mrs. Daniel Lothrope of Massachusetts, founder of the Children of the Ameri- can Revolution. Mrs. Mondell was as- sisted in receiving by Mrs. Clayton Emig, Mrs. Frederick Volland, Miss Helen Stout and Mrs. Frederick Dille. Mrs. Robinson Downey served the ices and Mrs. Horace Towner served tea. The dining table was beautifully set with silver and lace, having as a center decoration lilies of the valley and maidenhair ferns. Mr. and Mrs. Simonds Secure Historic Home Mr. and Mrs. Frank H. Simonds have purchased from the family of the late Gen. George C. Thomas their former residence, No. 3108 P street, where, tions, Mr. and Mrs. Simonds will make their permanent Washington home. This house, after its near neighbor. Tudor Place, on Georgetown Heights, where Gen. Lafayette trod out the stately measures of a minuet at the garden party given in his honor on his second visit to this country, is historically the most interesting of all the old Georgeotwn houses, Built prior to 1810, by Judge Mor- sell of Maryland. not only were the {8olid brass locks. After the fashion ‘of all early colonial residences. the bricks were laid in Flemish bond. a {notable example of which may be jseen in the walls of Rook Creek { Church. During the residence of Judge Mor- sell this house was a favorite gath- ering place of the most distinguished jurists and men in public_life in Washington, Maryland and Virginia. Later as the Spanish legation, the late Count de Podestad, made his home there with his family during the Grant administration, and gave receptions and dinner parties. after which the guests danced and enjoyed late suppers in the extensive lantern- {hung gardens. i Gen. Thomas Buys Property. In 1870 the late Gen. George C. Thomas acquired the property and fol- 1lowing his occupancy welcomed ther {many of his old West Point and civil war friends, among whom were Gens, Winfield Scott, Tecumseh Sherman, Phil Sheridan, George H. Thomas Peter Hagner, Meigs, Delafield, Au gur, Fremont, Innis Palmer, Burn- | | side, Col. Alexander Montgomery and a host of others whose names enume- rated would sound like a roll call of the 1 war. When the late Lord Pauncefote was minister from Great Britain, he fre- quently stopped at 3108 P street and, alighting from his horse, as simply as {any man in the lowliest walks of life, ascended the steps to ring the bell and deliver in person invitations for entertainments at the British le- igation on Connecticut avenue. This practice was only discontinued fol- lowing his elevation as the first am- the bassador States. At a tea given in honor of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett the old hou a accredited to diplomatic and public life as was ever seen in Georgetown. Among the woman writers then in at- tendance, was the author of “Queechy and The Wide, Wide World.” whose death occurred shortly after this visit to Washington; Mrs. Frank Leslie, Mrs. Richard Henry Savage, author of My Official Wife,” and the late Miss Mollie Elliot Sewell. Very Famous Testament. Among the most torical possessions of this old home is a small Testament, on which Gen. ‘Thomas, as notary for every state in the Union, administered the oath of allegiance to all the Union troops tak- ing part in the civil war. This was done with a regiment at a time as- sembled in the grounds of the old State Department. g Among the officers of the Army who Yook the ironclad oath upon this Testament and subsequently affixed therein their signatures, with the dates attached, were Gen. Winfleld Scott and staff. Brig. Gen. Schofield, Maj. Gen. Phil Sheridan, Maj. Gen. E. D. Townsend, Maj. Gen. Willlam T. Sherman, as lieutenant general of the Army in 1866, as general of the Army in 1869, and six months later as Secretary of War. Gen. U. S. Grant was qualified as lieutenant gen erol of the Army, March, 1864, on thi Testament; 1 July, ad ‘interim, the following year, Octo- ber 4. 1872, He affixed his signature therein as President of the United States. Another historic possession of this house is a quaint cradle of solid ma- hogany brought from England in 1749 by the family of Col. Edward Thomas of the Continenta] Army, who, in com- mand of the Jersey regiment raised and equipped at his own expense, led a charge at the battle of Leng Island.
