The next day-Thursday-they re-
ceived the delegates TO the thirtieth
Continental Congress of the d. A. r..
which Is a pretty fair afternoons work.
And on Friday afternoon Mrs. Harding,
the First Lady. had a little special
naturally pleased them tremendously.
Round of Entertainments.
AS usual during ID. A. r. week there
was perfect whirl of entertaining for
the Daughters, individually and collec-
lively. Toward the end OF the week
the sons of the South American revo-
lutions had their innings when the
Venezuelan mission came down after
having successfully unveiled their ma
tional hero in New York.
1t was a big disappointment to the
Daughters that they couldn't get back
to a pre-war basis in the matter of
having the President to give them
greeting at their official opening. Also
II was specifically a great disappoin.-
ment to the Ohio delegation that Mrs.
Harding could not come to their Stale
luncheon which they held on Tuesday
at the Powhatan. 1t can well be be-
lieved that 1t was a real disappoint-
ment to Mrs. Harding, too, for she is
loyal daughter of Ohio as well as
loyal Daughter of the American Revo-
luton. In fact. she's two loyal ID. A.
rs. For she recently accepted men,
bership in a District of Columbia chap
ter. only with the distinct stipulation
that she should not thereby lose her
,Ier rul,4 ~ A.
which she properly belongs and Of
which she had been member for
years.
The big organization party of the
week for the d. A. r. was, of course,
their President-GeneraFs reception on
Tuesday night, when all the Daughters
and their friends swarmed into their
own fine building and did honor to their
President General, Mrs, George Maynard
Minor, and to the members of the ma
tional board. who received with her. as
did her predecessor as President-Gen-
eral, Mrs. George Thacher Guernsey of
Kansas. The receiving party was sta
toned on the platform. which was beau
tifully decorated with palms and grow
ing plants as well as cut flowers, maxi
ing rare setting for the handsome
evening gowns of the women. The
guests passed up one aisle. across the
platform, where they were warmly
greeted. and down another into the audi
torium and lobbies. where they fingered
long. "just visiting and renewing old
riendships''-truly a delightful way of
spending an evening.
That was about the only occasion
when the pages of the congress-junior
members, one or two from each State
were not very much in evidence and
very much in demand. They were hav-
ing their ball-a dance which the Abb
gail Hartmann Rice Chapter gives for
them each year-up at Rauscher's. and
judging from their account the next day
they had a great and glorious evening.
Toward the end of the week. when
the furry of entertaining for the Daugh-
ters was beginning to subside little,
the sons OF the South American revolu-
tions, in the persons of DR.. Don Esteban
Gil-Borges and his associates on the
Venezuelan mission, arrived on the
scene. and there was a new round Of en-
tertaining for them. Most of this. how
ever. was strictly official and the gen.
eral Washington public got very little
look-in on IL, except at the big and
beautiful reception at the Pan-American
Building last night. And at that the
Venezuelans themselves were hosts. en-

officially at all. and she will not be for
a week or SO as her house is in the
