MEMBERS OF CONGRESS
TRAVELLING MUCH.
With the death of the peace treaty.
members of Congress scattered far
and wide, some to get into the pre-
liminaries of the Presidential cam
paign. others to mend their own
little political fences, while others
went to one resort or another to
! rest from their .'arduous" duties.
, Frequent quorum calls in the Sem
ate. is the rule these days. In fact.
( for some weeks now the floor of
the Senate has presented a great
contrast to the galleries; the latter
were crowded, while the floor was
quite deserted. One of the most in
! terested listeners to the Senate in
quiry into the Sims charges is Mrs.
! Eugene Hale. widow of the late SEN
: ator Hale, and mother of the pres
! ent Senator Frederick Hale. She
I has attended those hearings daily
since their inauguration on January
III. She is a beautiful woman, with
her white hair and bright, face; she
lis extraordinarily intelligent. Her
husband was chairman of the Sen
ate Committee that Investigated the
Sims charges during the Roosevelt
administration, you may recall.
This week people will be drifting
lhomeward more rapidly than they
did last week from their various
vacations to prepare for the Easter
festivities Nevertheless, it will be
a very quiet week socially. as it is
Holy week. Very few people enter
tain during Holy week. There will
be a few dinners tomorrow and the
4 next day, but the end of the week
finds the social calendars filled only
with lectures. musicales, relief work
appointments and church services
Those. few days will be a welcomed
respite to many who have been en-
tertained and entertaining steadily
since early last fall when the sea

SPRING VISITORS
looming SOON. :. -. 49,.
| Soon the city will be alive with
Its usual influx of spring visitors.
Washington is. never so beautiful
as in the spring, especially next
month and in May. when all of the
public places are fIled with sight
seers. Then the d. A. r., Congress,

bring to the city for a day or two
dozens Of noted men. Meanwhile
the President is. getting well so
rapidly apparently that by the time
| Easter season is an established fact
Mrs. Wilson may resume her social
| activities once more-even the
| President may. There may be a

who knows! Maybe they'll give
one in compliment to the Diplo-

that body which is composed of
| many who have not yet been re-
| ceived by the President.
One thing we do know is that the
President is rapidly getting well.
He rides out almost daily and his
photographs show very little
change In his appearance. Have
| you heard that Philip de Laszlo
who came to America some years
before the great war to paint the
portrait of the late Theodore
Roosevelt. has once more arrived In
the United States, this time for the
purpose OF perpetuating on cam
vass the appearance Of Woodrow
! Wilson?
