Photographs of Lord Robert Cecil
And Woodrow Wilson AdOrn Office
Mrs. X. T. Abrams Proud
Possessor of Portraits
of Peace Advocates

Mrs. Kate TIE NJ o ] m
Abrams, head of the Wash
ington branch Of the League
Of Nations Association, is
very proud in the possession
for her office Of photographs
of the late Woodrow Wilson
and Of Lord Robert Cecil, Of
England.
Shortly before sailing re-
Gently for Europe, Mrs. Viii
son complied with the re-
quest Of Mrs. Abrams for a
photograph of the famous
protagonist of world peace.
At the bottom Of the pic
ture is the signature of the
donor-Edith Boiling VIII
son, written in strong, regu-
lar strokes such as one
would suspect to be charac-
teristic Of the handwriting
Of the former First Lady.
Framed
Accompanying the photograph
was a typewriter letter from
Mrs. Wilson which explains the
gift. This has been framed
attractively in dull silver and.
placed just below the larger
frame containing the likeness.
On the opposite wall Mrs.
Abrams is planning to hang
the autographed photograph re-
Gently received from Lord Rob-
ert. And below that will be the
note, which came with it.
The Britisher's signature con-
tains but one word-Cecil-
written with a bold, flowing
hand. With these two advo-
Gates of world peace, through
the League Of Nations, looking
on Mrs. Abrams feels that she
will never need inspiration to
continue her efforts to that end
Extra Room
The work of the Washington
office OF the association has
grown so in the last year that
an extra room had to be taken,
which is just across the hall from
the original large room in the
Transportation Building.
The former is being used as
the private office Of Mrs. Abrams
and the latter contains charts
and pictures and books demon.
strating the work Of the League
in Geneva.
It is perhaps as an information
bureau that the Washington
office covers the most extensive
field. Demands for League cit.
erature" come in daily and nu-
merous queries in person and by
telephone have to be answered.
