The dry cleaning shop In
New York that freshens up
Amelia EarHart's ground
clothes" wired her after she had
flown over the Pacific a con-
gratulatory message that con.
tanned their slogan:
T. F'We Never Lose Customer"
I've a feeling that, notwith'
standing Amelia Earhart's ap'
titude for the sky, women are
returning to their "place in the
home" Or perhaps somebody.
is leading them back.
Many of the careers which
women are encouraged to follow
have a domestic note. There,
for instance, is the school for
dental hygienists at Georgetown
University.
Georgetown does not accept
women students in it's school Of
dentistry, but it maintains a
school exclusively for women
dental hygienists. Dental hygi.
enistS are especially trained in
mouth health and teeth clean
ing. (How many times in a
long maternal career have I
asked, Have you brushed your
teeth, darling?"
Fifteen schools of dentistry
have courses for women-in
teeth brushing.
Doris Stevens nter.American
Commission of Women is prop
erly concerned over the status
Of women in the world.
In a letter which calls atten-
ton to "the growing reaction
ary tide submerging many
women in Europe" it asks for
volunteers for a committee Of
100 American women.
This committee will help
complete the ratification of the
Equal Rights and Equal Ma
tionality Treaty which Doris
Stevens introduced successfully
to the Pan-American Confer
ence at Montevideo.
Mrs. Frank Allen West had
the sort of party the other
night at her house in George.
town that most Washington
hostesses hope to achieve.
After dinner a small, alert
group sat about the fireplace
in the big high.ceilinged library
and talked for hours about
politics and the state of
society.
Senator Robert F. Wagner
Of New York, Representative
Florence Kahn of California.
and Representative A. Piatt
Andrews of Massachusetts,, rep
resenting different schools of
thought geographically and
politically, argued happily about
Administration policies.
Major and Mrs. Henry Leon
! ard and Mrs. Leonard'S sister,
Mrs. Hayne Ellis, of California,
who Is here for short visit, dis
cussed socialism.
All of us talked about the
Hauptmann trial. Confessed
that we had read every word
Of its testimony and praised
its fair conduct. Said we were
constantly anxious about the
health of the jurors.
If, for instance, the fattest
lady juror were to catch in.
nuenza, the trial would have
to be repeated. Colonel and
Mrs. Lindbergh would be com.
PEELED to give all their dis.
treSSing testimony again.
Miss Ethel ArmeS, who spoke
90 agreeably yesterday at the
Women'S National Press Club
luncheon about the restoration
OF Lees birthplace, Stratford-
0n-the- Potomac, inherited her
enthusiasm for General Lee
from her father, an officer in
the Union Army.
After the surrender at Ap-
pomattox, Captain Armes, then
20 years old, was passing
through Richmond and was
taken to call on General Lee.
General Lee welcomed the
young captain as if he were a
boy in his own army.
He autographed one of his
largest pictures in full uni
form and gave it to Captain
Armes. Captain ArmeS treas
ured the picture throughout
his entire life, and always adored
the Confederate leader.
The idea of the United States
Government to convert the Vir.
Ginia battlefieldS into national
parks originated with Captain
Armes. He personally bought
the Appomattox battlefield and
held it until the Government
took it over.
The washington friends OF
William Denman, of California,
are delighted with his recent ap-
pointment as judge of the
United States Court Of the
Ninth circuit. The appoint
men is yet to be ratified by the
Senate, but I understand there
will be no difficulty about this.
Mr.. II beg your pardon)
Judge Denman and his charm.
