Mrs. Hopkins read the report which she had made as regent to_the State conference in March. The First Lady of the Land, Mrs. Herbert Hoover, re- ceived the members of that conference on March 7, just three days after the inauguration, setting a precedent which was very gratifying to the sixty-odd chapters of the D.

R, spoke on two subjects which are clgse to her heart, the mem- bership, the budget and social program.

Mrs. Harry Colfax Grove, State his- torian, was introduced by Mrs. Lee Pen- nington, a member of that committee, and gave an interesting resume of the work which has been to a large extent the completion of the hisfory of the chapters of the District this year. Mrs. Grove has been véry successful in this work.” The :milestones: surrounding the District and thel® present condition was also discussed.

Thompson, past chairman; State_historic conl:glsm. talked on the subject of “Washington's. Washington,” the vision nencw the Father of Our Country of the city he'had such a tre- mendous part in building. A sketch of the’city was also Y . Thompson, who has given the subject much study, and her talk was very much appreciated. A social hour followed adjournment. The Conservative Group, District of Columbia, D. A. R., made a pilgrimage to Kenmore, the old home of Betty Washington Lewis, sister of George ‘Washington, at Fredericksburg, on April 6 to present a Mary Ball Washington table to the Kenmore Association.
