Washington society is specializing. In
this age of special activities even the func-
tions of society are not being overlooked.
During the past season of the pronounced
changes from traditional procedure was the
segregation Of the women from the lower
house coterie and their evident intention
to make their own sphere OF influence
apart from that dominated by the higher
officialdom. The Congressional club af-
forded an excellent channel for this new
stream to flow, and the entertainments
given there made a new epoch in local
amenities Not only did the real leaders of
! the Congressional club determine to bring
to their aid all the philosophy implied in
the conservation Of forces, but they also
set to work to discover the hidden talent In
the club for the purposes Of entertainment
and general Improvement.
In Mrs. Patrick Francis Gill of st. Louis
the entertainment committee found an in
valuable assistant Mrs. Gill began to Guilt
vate her voice during her school days al
the Visitation convent in St Louis, and
she has continued her studies under the
best masters that the Missouri metropolis
afforded. For several years after her mar
riage she was principal soprano in the
quartet of the Church OF st. Aloysius in
st. Louis.
Naturally l am more interested in music
than in anything else except my domestic
ties said Mrs. Gill, "and l have always
realized that Of all gifts to possess, a love
for music and even a moderate degree OF
talent is most compensating for yourself
and oonfers a greater degree OF pleasure on
others.
Women who have always been shielded
from the demand Of poverty have prepared
themselves for any emergency and believe cd
in their ability to wrestle successfully with
the problem of living. Indeed, one Of the
joys l felt in living in Washington was to
discover how many useful women exist
among those who are known abroad as
butterflies. In the Congressional club there
are so many fine musicians, women who
have mastered the divine art after years
given their services to choirs and to char
table objects, many, indeed, still continue
to labor for love of the art and for good
causes when the need of earning a living
has passed away. The number of fine cooks
among the women in officialdom should
give new heart to the pessimsts who de-
clare that home keeping is passing out Of
existence among American femininity. Many
times during the last winter a delicious
supper would be served at the club, all
the work OF the members.
Next winter we intend to continue Il
promote the culinary arts and to invite
the lawmakers Of the nation to bear witness
that in their division of society cooking
is in its golden age. and is esteemed above
all accomplishments.
