A PEACE EXAMPLE

Little Affair.

There was peace in abundance at the
meeting Of the Congressional Club, at Its
headquarters, 1872 K street northwest
called yesterday afternoon to consider
the revised constitution. Seventy-fve
members attended.
Presaged by stories of internal strife
regarding a proposed amendment by
which wives Of former members Of Con-
gress were to be prevented from hold
ing once, the meeting, in reality, showed
no sign of disturbance
When the meeting had been called 70
order by Mrs. Ernest w. Roberts, wife
Of the Representative from Massachu-
setts, the constitution was read by Mrs.
Charles Davis, wife Of the Minnesota
Congressman. After the main portion
Of the instrument had been read, Mrs.
Davis began on the amendments, but the
clause petitioning the right to bar rela-
tives OF "ex-members" from holding once
did not come forth.
There was a general discussion of the
constitution. Mrs. Swanson, wife Of the
Senator from Virginia, maintained that
the constitution as read seemed to cover
all conditions that the club would have
10 meet during the next year Mrs
HILL Of ConnecticutyS was in favor Of
several changes in phraseology. There
was an address also by Mrs. Fletcher, Of
Florida, regarding the election of off,
GERS. The vote on the constitution will
come at the meeting IN February.
