Large Attendance of Ladies' and Gentlemen

Mrs. Warfeld, the wife of the Governor,
made her first appearance at a banquet last
night when she attended that of the Alumni
Association of Western Maryland College at
the Belvedere. With the Governor she came
in late in the evening, and listened 10 several
of the addresses.
The occasion justified the term of ''co-
educational" affair, for there were almost as
many ladies as men, and nearly every PROBES
sion was represented. They enjoyed an eX-
cellent repast, an unusually large number of
speeches and half dozen or more college
songs.
The Governor added to the interest and to
the enjoyment with an informal talk on the
good such colleges as the Western Mary iaud
do for the State, and spoke of the benefits to
be derived by an association in which 50 many
women helped things along.
Mayor rimanus announced at the beginning
that he was going to take advantage of the
opportunity TO boost Baltimore. and he
gave what he said was his regular address on
Baltimore and its improvements.
