Wellesley Women
Hear Miss Martin

Attacks by the Administration
on business were aSsailed by
Miss Marion E. Martin, vice
chairman Of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, before the
Washington Wellesley Club at
the Association Of University
Women Clubhouse yesterday.
Foreign incidents are the
cause Of unrest and a sense Of
insecurity among the women Of
the country, she declared.
women of today are under
going the same tremulouS fear
that existed before the World
War. They have asked me what
is going to happen to us If the
present situation continues to
exist. What can we do to pre-
serve peace for the United
States?"
In reply, Miss Martin empha-
sized that if democracy were to
continue to exist, the party sys-
tenn of government must be
maintained and that women in
the minority party should have
the great responsibility upon
which lies the success and con-
tinued life of democracy for this
country. She said:
Women will be to blame If it
fails, because they have assumed
an air of superiority over poll
tics. We should not skim the
surface, but go down into its
depths. It is our responsibility
to take part in poht, i issues
and it is to US that factory work
ers look for assurance. Women
should devote their time to more
important things than playing
bridge"
The occasion marked the for
ty-ninth anniversary Of the
Washington Wellesley Club an
nual holiday luncheon to stu
dents at wellesley who are home
for the holidays.
Miss Martin, who had spent
two years at Wellesley, shared
honors with MES. Charles Evans
Hughes, as guest Of honor. Mrs.
Hughes, who was Antoinette
Carter before her marriage to
the Chief Justice, graduated
from Wellesley in 1885.
Presiding at the luncheon
was Mrs. Adele Cation. president.
After the luncheon, Mrs. Cation
introduced the students who
were home for the holidays.
Starting with the freshman
class, Miss Cation called upon
Miss Jean Cromelin, of the class
of Al. One of the prettiest girls.
with blonde hair and sparkling
eyes, Miss Cromelin kept laugh
ing as she told what DR.. Elliott'S
answer was to the question as
to how Harvard had gained its
reputation. She quoted him as
saying: Maybe its because the
freshman comes here with so
much knowledge and the seniors
leave with so little Of it."
Following Miss Cromelin's
presentation came Miss Virginia
Donk, Of the sophomore class,
who told of the activities her

vealed that it wasn't all play
