The Utah Society of the Daughters ot the Revolution were entertained in September (the 17th) at the home of Mrs. Lewis M. Cannon. The rooms were prettily decorated for the occasion with the Colonial colors in which the gorgeous sunflowers were most conspicuous, the blue vases and bowls taking the second piece in the display. The meeting was a very interesting one, the first after the adjournment during the hot weather, and, in fact, the first with the new officers. The paper was by Mrs. Isabel M. W. Sears and treated of that period ot the "The Revolution, events of 1778-17of alliance of France. peace Proposals Battle of Monmouth. made by England. Attack of Newport. French fleet sails to West Indies. English occupy Savannan. Massacre of Wyoming and Cherry Valleys. British capture Augusta. Siege of Savannah. Paul Recapture of Stony Point. Jones and U. S. Navy." The paper was read by Mrs. Lucy W. Smith, as Mrs. Seats could not be present. The Paul Jones and United States navy portions were freely discussed and commented upon, and extracts will be published in this paper later on. After the meeting adjourned the conversation became general and chocolate, cream and delicious dainties were served and a delightful time enjoyed by the members and guests present. 79.

Siege After the reading of the paper some comments were made, all complimentary to the writer and reader. Mrs. Julia F. Lund related what she had heard in Philadelphia concerning Mrs. Arnold's ignorance of her husband's treachery. It is said of her that she would have remained in the United States but for the intense bitterness which it was thought might result disastrously; on that account she was induced to leave her home and friends. Delicious refreshments, ices, etc., were served, and the usual enlivening conversation indulged in, and the guests and members of the society enjoyed a pleasant hour of intellectual recreation. 81. s. s.
