BY SALLIE V. II. PICKETT.

The wife Of President has an inter
esting if strenuous life, tasting the joys
Of political and non-political existence,
but always remaining the Nations
hostess. Last week she was the gracious
guest of the League of Republican
Women Of the District, and this week
she will be the guest at luncheon Of the
Congressional Club. into whose fold
politics are said to have no part. Her
interest at the breakfast last week was
keen, and from the time she was un-
ostentatiously shown to the guest table
with hundreds of women looking on
until the entertainment closed, she was
alert to everything said and done.
Women trying on their political toga,
while not yet awake to the intricacies
Of politics, are indeed interesting.
The luncheon Tuesday has been well
planned, and the entire program will
come as a surprise to Mrs. Hoover and
others except those on the necessary
committees. This gives the event
delightful pique, a bit Of spice which
whetS the curiosity of members Of the
club and their guests to a thrilling
point. Mrs. Gam is remaining in town
for the luncheon and will go to Man
chester, N H, Immediately after. Many
heard her speak for the first time at the
breakfast last week and were surprised
and pleased with her direct appeal,
well turned phrases and convincing
argument This afternoon she will
assist at the Republican Womens tea
In their club house on Scott circle
Since this is the season of large
gatherings Of women in the Capital, it
is well to note the largest conference
held here in long time and with
women of society from many cities
coming as delegates. This is the
Womens Organization for Prohibition
Reform, and dozens Of important
social events are being mapped out for
them. More than a thousand women
will meet at the Mayf1ower for the ban

are arranging special tables OF guests

tea at the Democratic Women's Club
this week while the members hold a
particularly interesting exhibition Of
antiques and heirlooms. Plenty Of

the larger symbol Of the party, say the

is one Of the homiest Of womens clubs
in the Capital and furnishes a per-

It Is natural for the beginner to

hurry the all-important backswing

Start the backswing in smooth
