has given it a controversial twist
and controversy certainly makes
for conversation. Moreover, with
scores of distinguished foreigners
heading for Washington and elabo-.
rate preparations being made for
their entertainment, the proposed
program is always a fertile field
for discussion.
Under the able direction of Mrs.
John Allan Dougherty, chairman
of the ladies committee of Wash
ington, a varied group of festivities
have been arranged more especially
for the ladies who are attending
the meeting, either as delegates
or as unofficial observers
although, ] am sure, masculine
attendance at most of the parties
will be encouraged rather than
discouraged.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge
will receive the delegates to- the
conference and guests thereof on
Tuesday. October 6. at 80 O'Clock.
From the early. hour that has been
chosen 1 gather, that this will be
a formal sort of a function, with
no attempt to give a hospitable
touch by the serving of tea.
Possibly the number of delegates
to be received is too large for this
10 be possible.

As the conference is scheduled to
open on Thursday, October L, the
first Inequalities have been ar
ranged for that day. Miss Julia

mentary Union. will give a lunch
con for the ladies of the dele
