In those exploits which made Paul Jones famous, French sailors were his comrades in arms.

In the long and bloody war which gave us national life, France was our generous ally.

Its Principles Are Immutarle.

"Interest in the lives, characters, and exploits of our ancestors forms no small part of the sentiment of

"Patriotism.
"It is natural, generous and unselfish."

Selected by Heth Lorton,
Secretary the Virginia Society of the Cincinnati.

Through the gray vista of years we behold noble women making homes in spite of uncertainty, suffering, and death.

They rocked the cradle of the nation; they helped to build a glorious country. Their courage, their gentleness and their tenderness grow with the years.

To perpetuate the memory of their virtues and to preserve the highest ideals, the National Society of Colonial Dames was formed.

May the members of this Society always maintain

That courtesy which gives no pain;

That heroism which faints not;

That charity which suffereth long and is kind; emulating the virtues of their Colonial Mothers, and transmitting the highest aspirations to their daughters!

President-General Colonial Dames of America.

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION

Hebe's to the daughters of the American Revolution,
Whose grandsires framed our Great Constitution,
And here's to the Patriots with hearts so true
Who fought for our Flag—the Bed, White and Blue.
Then pledge me a toast to this noble band,
Who teach these principles to children of our land:

Love! Honor! Lirerty!
