The Congressional Club.
The Congressional Club. composed of
the mothers of these young women. has
adopted the idea of making the "Archon-
ides'' an affiliated organization in SO far
that the latter will have the exclusive use
of the new clubhouse for one day each
month. This is a convenient arrange
| ment for the younger club. which will
thus have spacious and appropriate
place in which to give teas or dances
avoiding the use of a private house or
the patronizing of hotel. At all large
afternoon functions given by the Con-
gressional Club the members of the
junior organization will be present and
act as assistants.
