WASHINGTON
SIDELIGHTS
War of the Senate and House Ladies

Will form one group, and the wives Oh
ten-year senator's another, and so on.
Each group will have Its own particu-
lar Thursday.
Now it is evident that these recep-
tons cannot be held in private houses.
And that is just where the cream OF
the whole business comes in. 1t Is
exactly here that the senatorial ladies
score heavily over their poor benight-
ed sisters of the house of representa-
tives. The senatorial ladies propose
to use one of the fine chambers OF
the senate office building, which would
be admirably adapted to the purpose.
But the house of representatives Ia
dies cannot demand similar priv
ilege from their own particular branch
of Congress, because, being so much
more numerous, there is no room large
enough for the purpose.
1t seems likely that the senate Of
flee chamber will be the scene of
stately ceremonials, with the senate
ladies divided into appropriate groups,
holding sort of court, perhaps seated
on<a raised dais, while the callers file
past them and make their obeisances.
No wonder the house of representa-
tives ladies are up in arms about the
whole business. Not that they are
surprised. Oh, no!
