THE ENTERTAINMENT OF THE W. R. c.
Mrs. Ida " Hendricks, department president,
Department of the Potomac, W. r. c., says
that the statement that the usual courtesies had
been extended to the National W. r. c. by the
citizens committee Of ladies and declined is
misleading and unjust to the national presi-
dent. What she did decline at the hands Of the
citizens committee, Mrs. Hendricks says, was
that which pertained to the secrecy of the
organization, holding that all such matters
should be in the hands of the W. r. c. and her
regularly appointed representatives. "Inas-
much" said Mrs. Hendricks, las the service of
luncheon had been placed in the hands of Poto-
mac Corps (disbanded) it would be out of the
question to accept the same at its hands. for
the reason that such luncheon would be served
inside the walls of the convention, within
which none could be admitted save members
of the order. and that she could not con-
sistenuy receive at the hands Of an organiza-
ton which had disobeyed her and was
disbanded any courtesy which would imply a
surrender of her position. To be entirely plain,
the national president only declined that cour-
tesy which would place the convention and its
approaches in the hands of those who had been
and are persistently her enemies. In the sec
ond place land this has particular reference to
Miss Bartons letter to the citizens committee
upon the letter of the department president,
which had been referred to herr, the letter of
the department president was not presented to
the citizens committee until after the citizens
committee of ladies had withdrawn the cour-
te'ies in question and had then suspended busl-
ness for the month Of August by adjourning."
Mrs. Hendricks SAYS she did not ask the citi-
zens' committee for money to be expended by
her, but urged the necessities of the case
AT this late date, one month before the en-
camprhent," Mrs. Hendricks said, this depart
ment has now to encounter this great work
without the means from the proper source.
Very little has been accomplished for the
W. r.. G. and thousands Of women have not Is
yet secured their quarters, and the national
president has officially requested this depart
ment not only to look after all matters per-
tanning to the convention, but has placed in its
hands the duty of procuring quarters for all the
visiting W. r. G. Under the circumstances
many of the prominent business men have i'll
Dictated a desire to contribute toward the sue
cess OF our undertakings, and there is no doubt
that nothing will be lacking in proper recep-
ception and entertainment Of our order"
