MISS ENID SIMS
Daughter of Congressman Thetus Sims She
a the Free Milk for France Fund
MISS ENID SIMS,

Carolina, and Senator and Mrs. Henry
S. Keyes of New Hampshire, are
among the newcomers to official life
whose careers will bear watching
and from the social point of view they
have already found themselves. The
Hendersons have been here the long
est. Senator Henderson came to the
Senate to fill the seat left vacant by
the death of the late Senator New
lands, and Mrs. Henderson was at
once taken up by the rather small
group OF percentage of officials who
really. count socially. Mrs. Gay and
Mrs. Pollock have also won their
spurs socially, as their husbands have
politically; and both men are "hold-
overs" from the last days of the Sixty
fifth Congress. Senator Gay fell heir
to the seat left vacant by the late
Senator Broussard; and Senator Pol
lock was elected to fill the seat which
Senator Ben Tillman held so long.
Mrs. Pollock is young, pretty, and
agreeable, with a gift for wearing
chic clothes, and in the short time
she has been in Washington she has
made many friends.
