Miss Alice Robertson, Congress
woman from Oklahoma, at last has
established herself in an once in
the House ONCE Building, and with
the help Of her secretary, Benjamin

upon the huge pile Of her accumu-

gestion that since she will be too
busy to mend her clothes that she
hire a seamstress.

sonal." laughed Miss Robertson, "al-
though this is probably responsible
for it," and she displayed a piece of
braid hanging from one sleeve which
had been torn loose by an elevator
