LEAGUE OF WOMEN
VOTERS RECEPTION
MOST DELIGHTFUL

Delightful in every detail was the
reception given Tuesday evening by
the Augusta League of Women Vot-
ers to the ladies of the legislature,
with the receiving line including Mrs.
Ralph 0. Brewster, the first lady of
the State; Mrs. katherine G. Allen.
the only woman member of the SIND
Legislature and Miss Mabel Common.
president of the local league. There
were number of the ladies, whose
husbands are members of the present
body of law makers present, as we'll
as a number of the members of the
Lea que and visitors.
Following the reception a buffet
supper was served. the table appoint
ments being dainty and attractive.
1t was the occasion of much disap-
pointment that Mrs. James +. Chess
man of Providence r. l.. Director
First Region, National League of
Women Voters, could not be present.
She was detained at the last moment
from coming because Of illness in
her family.
The history of the National League
OF Women Voters. its principals and
its objects, were outlined by Miss
Mabel Conner. At the present time
there are IS organizations in this
country working for peace. was Miss
Connor's announcement. The word
paclf1st does not at the present day
carry the same meaning that it did
IN war times. 1t would seem that if
people would look ahead they could
see that the world could not stand
another war. She quoted one man
who said that one hour sof fighting
at the front lost enough money to
the world to build IL high schools
at $l,000.000 apiece.
The Musical Program
The musical program, under the
charge Of Miss Caroline Fenno Chase
was delightful part of the eve
ning's event. Each and everyone
who took part, was local artist and
their offerings were most warmly re-
ceived.
The program included: piano duet,
Overture to Barber of Seville" by
Rossini Mrs. Dan Huntington Fem
and Miss Caroline Fenno Chase; vi
olin solo "Cavatina" by Bohm, Miss
