new structure are especially proud
Of it because it Indicates a new
order of things and suggests that

the achievement of the American

CHANGE OF OFFICIALS
IN CONGRESSIONAL CLUB.
Society here, particularly in ON
efal circles, has been interested in
the news that Mrs. Irvine L. Len
root. wife of Senator Lenroot. of
Superior. Wis. has been compelled
by i'll health to resign as president
OF the Congressional Club. and Mrs.
Joseph s. Frelinghuysen. wife Of
Senator Frelinghuysen. of New
Jersey. and close friend OF the
President. who has been first vice
president of the club. has become
president of that important social
organization. Mrs. wallace H.
White. jr., wife of Representative
White. of Maine. will automatically
become first vice president. Next
to the White House. perhaps. the
, Congressional Club is the most i'm
portant feature of the oficial social
life at the Capital and has as MEM
bers. besides the families Of Sena-
tors and Representatives. Mrs.
Harding. Mrs Coolidge. the wives
of some of the Cabinet members of
this and the last administration
and wives of former members of
both houses of Congress.
Immediately following announce
ments of the social program from
the White House each season
everything and everybody waits
for that before making different
plans-comes that from the Con-
gressional CluL. Its events opening
with a reception to the President
and the FIRST ady of the Land:
another to the Vice President and
the Second Lady; one for the Speak
er Of the House and his wife and q
particularly brilliant one for the
mer'bers of the Diplomatic Corps.
Dances. card parties and many pri-
vate entertainmt with a week
~ tea and program of entertain
meDt each Friday. add to the Inter-
est of the club. which as a place
for Congressional women to enter
tain privately Is unexcelled.
Mrs. Lenroot made a charming
president and Judge that Mrs.
Frelinghuysen will. too-she Is
delightful hostess. We hope that
Mrs. Lenroot's health will improve
enough for her to enjoy the club a
great DEAL anyway, and for her
friends to enjoy her company there.
Miss Lenroot-Katherine seldom
seen at social functions except
strictly official things, and then NOT
always. She does not care a thing
about such affairs. but prefers her
work. She is chief of the division
of editorials of the child labor bu-
reau in the Department. of Labor,
you know.
