Nor Is Mrs. Reed the only Re
publican on the list. Mrs. Engle-
bright is the wife of the Repub-
lican whip and Mrs. Brewster the
wife of a Maine Republican. The
election of the latter, Mrs. Brew
Ster, demonstrates beyond a doubt
that the ladies of the Congress
sional Club do not carry their
family politics into their club life.
Being a Republican is one thing,
but Maine Republican is the nth
degree of RepublicaniSm these
days.
New Officers Receive
The newly elected officers re-
ceived yesterday afternoon. Mrs.
William M. Wilmington, whose
husband is a Democrat from Mis-
Sissippi, received with them and
introduced them to the guests.
Bowls of red roses adorned the
tea table in the main hall room.
Retiring officers of the club took
turns presiding at the tea service.
Since this is one of the first par
ties staged at the club since the
converting of the new Congress,
many of the guests we're strangers
to the club. The new members
were received, however, at a spe-
cial party of their own two weeks
ago and are rapidly beginning to
