Penwomen's League Takes
New Lease on Life.
Tie League Of American Penwomen,
by the way, seems to have taken a
new lease on life. In former days.
seemingly. everybody belonged-at
least in Washington-except the
women who really made their living
by their pens. Now, however, the
roster contains the names of women
who are known all over the country
for their literary work: and the
weekly teas. which have been inaugu-
rated since the club moved into it's
new quarters in Fl street, are quite
delightful functions.
On one occasion last winter Mrs.
Wilson was the honor guest, breaking
her rule of seldom going anywhere
without the President; and a number
OF prominent women have been en-
tertained this season. On Friday. for
instance, Mrs. George Barnett was the
guest OF honor and gave a delightful
little talk about her experiences in
entering Metz with the American
troops and visiting the front line hard
upon the signing of the armistice
Mrs Barnett speaks with ease and
has a ready wit. which amuses and
captivates her audiences.

ties scheduled for the next few weeks.
