WOmen's Reception.

Mrs Russell Sage was the centre OF attraction
at the reception Of the National Society of Patrio-
tic Women of America Cdrs. j. Heron Croslnan,
president) held in the Governors room at City
Hall yesterday afternoon General Stewart i.
Woodford, president of the Hudson Fulton Com
mission, constituted himself her bodyguard. MIS-
Sage looked pleased a child 10 be there When
the meeting that followed the reception was con-
arened in the council chamber. and she, guest Of
honor, was put i'm the Mayors chair, her face
beamed with interest she looked at the two
thousand women and three or four men massed
sn the chamber before her 1t is the first time the
use of the council chamber has been accorded TO
soman's club. and women showed their apprecla-
tion by turning out in force.
General Woodford, in his speech, congratulated
the societies of patriotic women. who. he said
kept green the memory Of those who made this
country possible. Then he congratulated Mrs
Sage, ''who TO my mind he added, 'embodies
and typhes all that is best in American woman
hood"
Everybody hoped that Mrs. Sage would say some
thing but she only put her hands before her face
and shrank behind Mrs. Crosmans lavender shoul-
der.
General Woodford told how New York had done
herself proud this week. THE federal govern
lnent contributed no money TO the celebration, he
said I'VE didn't ask it 10. We thought the city
ana state were big enough TO have a great ole
party of their and pay the bills and they
have done it. The federal government issued no
invitations TO other governments merely permitted
New York to issue them through the State Depart
ment. But every delegate and every ship asked TO
fe here came. It is a unique occasion"
Controller Metz. the next speaker, praised the
work Of the police. Who could see the way they
are handling the crowds this week and not be
proud of our police?" he said.
