Mrs. Nan Ward Honeyman, new
Democratic Representative from

However, in this encounter, it
was one up for the Republicans.
Former Governor Tudor Gard
ner, of Maine, and Mrs. Gardner
were visiting recently in Oregon.
They met Representative Elect
Honeyman. CMrs. Honeyman is
always meeting up with Republi-
cans, it seems. 1t was at the mar
riage of one of the Republican
Roosevelts that she served as
bridesmaid with Anna Eleanor
Roosevelt, wasn't itO
Mrs. Honeyman asked the Gard
ners where they were from.
Right across the continent
from you-we're from Maine" re-
piled Mrs. Gardner.
Mrs. Honeyman replied:
"Oh, Maine. That's the State
we are thinking of selling, along
with Vermont"
"You might as well sell us"
quickly interrupted the Governor.
"You can't buy us!"
Ask Senator Warren R. Austin,
of Vermont, if his State is for
sale. Or better, ask Mrs. Austin.
She campaigned with her husband
and is a proud and happy woman
about Vermont.

Post Holiday Detection

The houses of prominent Wash

much entertaining. So are the
faces.
Too much hospitality, too many
bright smiles have clouded local
expressions.
The unusual brightness of this
January sunshine is revealing
circles under the eyes and spots
on the carpet.
Even the White House is showing
the strain of too many parties. On
two chairs in the library, where
Sistie and BuZzie Dali spent much
of their indoor Christmas holiday,
the braiding is hanging loose.
The Sulgrave Club, well man.
aged organization that it is, is
ordering soap and water to cure
the post Christmas blight. Its gor-
geous crystal chandeliers have
been Washed-cost, 5000.
Speaking of the Sulgrave Club
reminds me that at luncheons
there the spring chicken is really
spring chicken. Not brolled ten
dons and bone. Welsh rabbit is
another Sulgrave piece de re-
sistance. Each rabbit comes to the
table in its personal ramekin and
is soft and creamy on top OF the
right kind of toast.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, president
Of the District of Columbia Fedora

Thus, so a poetic friend Of mine
saws. the hand that wieldS the pen
for women'S rights has gone ma
ternal. And the foot that once
stepped forth and went to jail for
the cause of justice is rocking the
