that continually dashed shoreward,
and those on the boardwalk knew that
the ceremony had concluded when the
flower girl swan around and scattered
roses on the water.

MRS. FELTON, NOT
To Be SEATED
IN j. 8. SENATE

Hopes Of women throughout the
country that Mrs. w. H. SRe1ton
might be enabled to sit for a brief
period as the first woman United
States senator were blasted Friday
when a thorough investigation by
Judge Walter F. George, senator
elect, failed to disclose any way in
which this could be done legally.
Judge George came to Atlanta
Thursday night hopeful that some
arrangement could be made whereby
Mrs. FELTON, might be sworn in when
congress reconvenes December
and actually serve in the senate, at
least for a day, but it developed
at conference in the Ansley hotel
that a bill would have to be passed
by both the senate and the house
before Mrs. FELTON, could qualify le-
ga1ly.
Passage Of this bill, it was pointed
out, would require some time and
would not be feasible. Judge George
told his friends he had been anxious
to honor Mrs. FELTON, and would
gladly have withheld the presenta-
ton Of his credentials until she &C.
tually sat in the senate if any way
to do this could have been found.
II want to be just as gracious to
Mrs. FELTON, and the good women
who have her inte~~e at stake as
it is possible for me to be within
legal bounds" said Judge George,
but my first duty to the people of
Georgia, of course, is to comply
strictly with the law"
After the conference of Senator
elect George and his friends, the
announcement was made that he
will be in Washington ready to
qualify on December 6.
Women Of national reputation
had been sponsoring a movement to
have the oath administered to Mrs.
FELTON, as the first woman member
of the worlds highest deliberative
body. However, Mrs. FELTON, said
in a statement several days ago
that she had made no plans to go
to Washi1- gton and doubted she
would make the trip, even if the
obstacles in the way Of her cuaIi-
fication as a member of the senate
IUnra removed
