 Mary Garrett Hay" Shes, like an old captain at sea; she knowssthe way, without looking it up.'
 That is the tribute leading women's organizations pay to their master per lliamentarian, Miss Mary Garrett Hay of New York City. Miss Hays ex- pert knowledge of parliamentary pro- cedure, indicated in women's meetings in the last twenty years, justifies the tribute. For many years Miss Hay has been advising presiding officers just when 'to table" ticklish questions. and just when 'out of order' may be tact fully and appropriately used.
 So it will be an old job to Miss Hay when she assumes the duties of official parliamentarian for thei convention of the National League of! Women Voters in Buffalo. April 24-29. She is as accurately informed as, Roberts Rules of Order itself.
 Miss Hay is one of the several wom- en leaders in the national league. who owe their political bent to their fathers Dr. Andrew J. Hay of Charlestown. Ind, knew all the men in politics who were worth Knowing, and as soon as his daughter was old enough to ''come to the tables she, too, began to
