Watch Children Roll Eggs.
The interval between the morning and
afternoon sessions yesterday was spent by
many O fthe delegates in driving or walk
I ine to the White House grounds to watch
| the children of the city roll eggs. Others
extended their trips to the speedway and
many admiring comments were made
upon the scenery surrounding Cont
nertal Hall. Luncheon seemed a sec
| ondary consideration and but little time
| seemed to have been wasted In feasting.
| Throughout the intermissiOn the lobby
and committee rooms were alive with
| well-gowned women, and though the ma
| jOrity of them were earnestly Interested
in discussing the important features of
the congress there Were several who rep
resented the eternal feminine in their ex-
| changes OF opinions as to who was the
bes: dressed delegate. the handsomest del
egatc and the most gifted delegate of this
| years congress.
| Additional flowers frightened the plat
| form in the afternoon and pennons of the
chapters of the various states were post
ed along the aisles.
Miss Janet Richards Of Mary Washing
ton Chapter is again the official reader.
1t is the ninth congress which sine has
| served in that capacity, and seems to be
| an Indispensable institution of the Or
ganizatiou.
