NEW ATTRACTION HOOk
For ANNUAL ID. A. R~ CONGREss.
The annual ContineaieNi Congress Of
the Daughters Of the American Rev.
clution has become as "a uch a pleas
ant harbinger of spring in Washing
ton as the pink and yelisy tulips that
come up in the carefully tended
parks. The fact that tlie Daughters
assemble this week for d sefr thirtteth
| meeting gives assurance lof a great
zeal of entertaining. Al the states
will be represented and this brings
me to the announcement dat there is
| to be departure from an previous
programs. or rather an ada ion to
the usual attractions of the week,
which will be of great interest.
At least forty states are tf'N pres
ent tableaux. each state definsAfting
an event belonging to its history.
Tableaux, by the way. are com ing into
fashion again and these levnS
pictures will be especially notowo rthy
because many OF the descendapAss OF
the heroes impersonated will apptair

features OF the Congress.
Perhaps il is the association of
tableaux with a Congress that causes
me to realize how different hse
women's congress is from the meal 3

consciously for tableaux or afternooA,
teas as to pose unconsciously for tfk
daily living pictures that are often SO
unentertaining from the galleries.
| 1t is true that there was time when
the d. A. r. congresses offered as
much excitement as the regular Con-
gress that concerns itself with max
ing American history instead of re-
membering IL, but that time Is long
gone by and now each year brings
| together daughters who work to-
gether tremendously for the many
worthy objects that contribute to the
welfare Of the nation. No organiza-
/, tion has done SO much to preserve
landmarks and to awaken reverence
| for national ideals as this great as-'
ISOLATION of women In whose veins
flows the blood OF pioneers who held
liberty above life.

ore exepcted for the Congress and
there will be considerable cleo
tioneering among them. for although
a president general is not to be
chosen this year ten candidates are
| in the field for the eight vice presi-
Dental vacancies. The latest name
added was that of Miss Catherine
Campbell, State regent OF Kansas,
who was nominated at the state con-
ference a few weeks ago. The other
candidates are: Mrs. Howard l..
Hodskins. of this city; Mrs. J.
Charles Linthicum, of Maryland; Mrs.
lC. d. Chanault, of Kentucky; Mrs.
Singleton Ashenfelter. of New Mex
leo; Mrs. G. II. Holden. of Vermont;
Mrs. A. L. Calder, of Rhode Island;
Mrs. John T. Moss. of Missouri; Mrs.
BENJAMIN d. Heath, of North Caro-
line, and Miss Alethea Serpell, of
Virginia.
| The president-generars reception
is always one of the memorable
events and this year it will take
place on Tuesday, historic date,
by the way Mrs. George Maynard
Minor. the president general. will be
assisted by the other national off,
GERS of the d. A. r.. and by Mrs
George Thacher Guernsey, the hon
orary president general. On this
same evening the dance for the
pages will take place. The pages
are the pretty girls who are on duty
during the congress, younger daugh-
ters who will carry on the tradi-
tions OF the organization. Mrs.
Minor will be the guest of honor.
Friday. at a luncheon to be given by
Mrs. william +. Dennis. one OF the
many to which she has been hidden.
There are to be dinners, too. and
teas that are not to interfere with
the regular sessions of the congress.
President and Mrs. Harding are to
receive the delegates on Thursday
and this will be perhaps the largest
gathering at the White House in
the new Administration, No doubt
every one of the thousand delegates
will attend.
The beautiful home. of the ID. A.
