nificent structures representing grAa'

all of these 1t is meant that the
Woman's National Civic Foundation
shall be a center where every section
of the country and every diversified
interest shalt be represented.
Although plans for the buildings
have not yet been worked out. II Is
the intention to preserve a large part
of the grounds as they are. in the
form of a beautiful park, and the
buildings of classic architecture are
to include a ,theater or auditorium
where meetings may be held and fine
plays may be produced. First atten-
ton VIII be turned to the sylvan
theater. which requires comparative
ly little work, since the natural con-
formation of the land lends itself
readily to the requirements OF the
theater. Here will be presented a
Shakespearean play this month and
there will be, also, garden party
that will give opportunity to judge
of the possibilities of the great enter
prise.

tration.
Congress was invited-both houses
and the diplomatic corps and the
Cabinet and the officials Of the var
ious executive departments and the
army and navy-to some extent at
least-with their sisters and their
cousins and their aunts." not forget
ting the very cream of the resident
set. And apparently nobody sent re-
grets. for nearly 1000 guests were
present.
Mrs. Gillett came to Washington as
the wife of a member of Congress-
the late lockwood Hoar-and the
daughter-in-law of the late Senator

before she married Mr.. Gillett. Blu.
somehow her personal affiliations had
always been with the resident set.
and II was not until her husband was
made Speaker of the House that Mrs.
Gillett began to be closely Identified
with official society. Much of tho
time since then Mrs. Gillett has been
in mourning for her father, SO the
Speaker and his handsome wife have
had opportunity for little general en-
tertaining. 1 remember, however. an
other big reception out at Grasslands
the Gilletts were hosts and at which
the official world was invited to meet
the Speakers colleagues of the House.
Catching sight OF those most deco
rative regimental flags encircling the
room and realizing that they were a

reminded of a big reception which
the Thomas Riley Marshalls had

Vice President and Mrs. Marshall.
This took place Immediately aftor
the famous Besux Arts ball, one Of
the most spectacular costume balls
ever given in Washington, and all
the elaborate decorations were left
in place. The ballroom had been
transformed into a cafe chantant,
with impressionistic sketches, little
tables under gay umbrellas lining
the walls and tall black and white
poles, topped by scarlet and blue
and gold balloons, marching in rows
down the long ballroom, and 1t was
both amusing and amazing to see the
most dignified and conservative of
personages moving about in this
bizarre setting.
In the case of the Gilletts' ball,
however, the flags simply added an
effective note of color to decorations
which were simple and dignified in
the extreme-tall palms everywhere, a
great screen of them behind the re-
ceiving line and lots of lovely flowers
used on the table in the small ball
room from which the buffet supper
was served. There was a before-the-
war lavishness about this supper,
too, and all evening I heard first one
person and then another remarking,
Isn't this just like old times? SO
many old friends and so few unfamil-
lar faces?"

MRS. HARDING

that Mrs. Harding was n champion

Indeed, both the President and his

can with propriety. and that Is one Of the
things which is so endearing them to

1t seems to me that II is no longer
the young men who dream the great
dreams but the women and they make
the dreams come true in the most
astonishing fashion. Here in Wash
ington a little group has had a vision
of a beautiful place that shall be the
headquarters focusing all the ma
tional interests of women. There has
been much agitation about buildings
to house various associations OF
women, but the dream of headquarters
suggested no interference with any
other plans. Instead. it would supple
ment all existing projects.
One Sunday afternoon few weeks
ago two or three OF the group OF
dreamers who happened to be as
sembied in Miss Janet Richards draw
ing room looked out Of the windows
upon lovely tract of land lying in
the sunlight and suddenly resolved to
make the property their own. 1t was
Just the place to build the great
center toward which the interests of
the women of the country might con-
verge. The Dean property Is a
familiar spot to every one, lying as
it does on Connecticut avenue and ex-
tending through Twentieth to Nine
teenth street. The land is pict-
uresaueIy uneven, knobs on which
primeval trees rise to great height,
breaking the level and a natural
suggesting splendid pos
sibilities. The vision OF noble build
inss OF classic architecture presented
itself to the little group and Instantly
plans for acquiring the famous tract
were discussed.
1t was on April 10 that the Wom-
ans National Civic Foundation was
organized in the home of Mrs. c. c.
Calhoun with the purpose OF estsb
fishing headquarters for the womsn
of the country. irrespective o: any
sectional. sectarian or political lines.
Even IL the Dean property couti not
