 The speakers were not street corner loiterers, commenting on a passing 1921 display of hosiery, but mem bers of the National Press Club, of Washington, DC, about as hard headed and hardboiIed a bunch as there is in America.
 The comment was made after Miss Alice Robertson, the new Congress- woman from Oklahoma, had finished a fffteen-minute heart-to-heart talk with the boys of the press on ''baby Congressman night" Once each year the newly-elected Senators and Rep reSentatives are invited to visit the super-reporters of America and tell ''why they are on earth "The lady from Oklahoma" completely won the hearts of the newspaper boys by her sound comBon sense and the pathoS and human interest in her wonderful history.
 Just a moment. please. ladies! We'll pool our knowledge of what she locks like right off.
 In dress as well as in every mo- tion and word his sterling daughter of America gives the impression of 24- karat honesty. There isn't an ounce of pretense about her. Right in the middle of her speech she admitted that she was six and sixty years old.
 Dress and Appearance.
 Medium or less in height, rather stocky in build. she gives the impres- sion of strength rather than grace. Her dress was black, almost devoid of trimming.
 Her hair is gray, silver gray. all most white. She scorns the false even in hair and wears no switch. Age has taken it's usual toll and the re- sidue left by the thinning process of time is gathered up in an honest lit tie old ladies' knot on the top of her head. That she despises some of the shams of the day was shown by O little burlesque which she staged at the beginning of her talk.
 After she had mounted the plat form in the Press Club for the '"baby Congressme she sat down in a chair and to the amusement and delight of the press boys pulled a puff and mir TOT out of a, bag and began to powder her face. When the laughter died down, she remarked: T never did this before, but I can't let these clerks and secretaries here in Wash ington get ahead of me" Then she told a happy story about the man who took beer by the teaspoonful on
