morning. the occasion being the second
meeting of the new social organization
composed of the daughters OF the sena-
tors and representatives in Congress. In
the absence of Miss Bessie Lamb of Nir-
ginia, the president. the meeting was

their new club. 1t is not to be conside red
for moment as a rival of the organiza-
ton which our mothers are forming. We

that organization and meet in the same
place.
Like our mothers. we wish to assure
the world at large that our movement is
not political in any sense. 1t may not
sound SO dignified," she added, but the

for. There are a great number of lovely
girls in our set, 1 mean in the congress
