made national president.
Mrs. wallace, who seems marvel
of energy and executive force, joined
this society in it's early years, since
her membership in the Daughters OF
the American Revolution made her
eligible. But the Founders and Pa
triots ask a lineage a little more re-
A., mote than the Daughters and do not
make imperative aid given the strdg-
gle for independence. 1t reaches back

courage made possible the men and
women of the revolutionary era. In
1902 the late Mrs. Henry Boynton and
her sister-in-law. Mrs. George Mason,
founded this society, which has now
a limited but very strong and en-

for several years president of the
Garden Club of Des Moines, has re-
signed that post because OF her con-
rinual absence from the meetings.
She has in lieu taken over the presi-

succeeded Mrs. Irvine L. Lenroot of
Wisconsin when that lady retired
because of failing health. Mrs.
Young has not resided in Washing

Byrnes. But she belongs to the
dominant political party and her op-
ponent is democrat. and the tradl-
lion would seem TO accord Mrs.
Young the honor. There will. how
entirely without rancour or personal
bitterness. Mrs. Young and Mrs.
Byrnes are among the younger OF the
congressional hostesses and both
maintain pleasant homes, over which
they preside with much hospitality.

Mrs Byrnes live in Chevy Chase and
are identified with the social activ-

have served on the national board
of the Congressional Club and have
filled minor. roles with exceptional
success.
According to some experienced OBJ
servers, the Chevy Chase Club is one
Of the really cosmopolitan clubs OF
the world and in a wider sense than
the Metropolitan Club. which is urban
and exclusively masculine. The
country club. which. is another
american idea and at present e&-
tensively initiated in every part OF
the globe. lends itself gracefully to
rnent, with every indoor comfort at
hand. Members of the diplomatic
corps in Washington like the country
club because of the opportunity to
bring the entire family to dine or
lunch or to picnic nearby when the
, weather is fine. Many of the
foreigners like to hike out to Chevy
Chase in the teeth of a biting wind
and thus rebuild the vital forces ex-
hausted by the daily mental grind.
Many prefer to motor out and then
enjoy strenuous exercise on the links
or tennis courts or even the homely
amusement of hand ball. Several OF
the Japanese secretaries and at
tacheS indulge in whirl of ball be-
fore beginning 4 more formal game.
Almost any foreign language may be
heard about the Chevy Chase Club.
