MERE will be q continuous fam
lily reunion in Washington this
winter for the four Newell sis

a ters, who grew up together in
the mining section of Missouri, went
their several ways and recently came
together to live near each other for
the first time in many years.
Mrs Emily Newell Blair, former vice
chairman of the Democratic National
Committee, and Mrs. P. w. Chapel,
chairman Of the Department of Gov
ernment and Economic Welfare Of the
Voteless District of Columbia League
of Women Voters. are the two sisters
who have been living in Washington
for some time.
They have recently been Joined by
their two other sisters, Mrs. Ralph
Putnam, supervisor of the Household
Service Project of the w. P A., and
Miss Margaretta Newell teacher and
writer. who came recently from New
Mexico to live In Washington.
Mrs. Blair in Switzerland.
The family group is not complete
Just now because Of the absence of
Mrs. Blair, who is in Interlaken, Swift
zerland. attending the international
house party Of the Oxford Group.
But" Mrs. Chapel said, lit is only a
matter Of q few weeks, as she will be
back about November l.
Talking it over in Mrs. Blair's lovely
garden in Alexandria last week, there
was some difference of opinion as to
the outstanding family characteristics.
We are all alike" Mrs. Putnam said
I'VE are all interested in progressive
social objectives, religion and politics
We cling together as a family and
share good fortune and bad"
I'VE are all individualists, Mrs.
Chapel insisted. I'VE may have the
same fundamental ideas, but We ex-
press them differently"
As children the Newell girls"
formed the idea that Goods Country"
was somewhere else than in Missouri.
Joplin was little more than a mining
camp in the 1870s when their father,
James P. Newell, and his wife, Anna,
moved there, and Mrs. Newell found
few friends with interests similar to
her own.
Brought Up on Good Books.
I'VE were brought up on good books
and good talk" Mrs. Chapel ex-
planned. Although mother lived in
the Victorian era, she had progressive
ideas. She believed that every one
should cultivate some sort Of a talent
and thought people should help each
other. It was she who set us the ex-
ample that has affected the lives Of
all Of us.
When she was ~ years old she was
left widow with a large family to
raise, but we all had proper schooling.

We all went abroad"
Later Mrs. Chapel was to combine
her fair for social work with her mu-
sical talents. While living in Canon
City, Colo. she took part in a move
ment to promote an orchestra and
music classes in the State penitentiary.
At that time, also, she wrote up some
OF the episodes in the history of Colo
RADIO for the Denver Post "It was
pleasant work." she recalled, because
the history of Colorado as a State does
not 60 back so very far, and at that
time there were people living in the
State who had taken part in many of
the events"
When the first household service
project was established three years
ago under the Emergency Relief Ad-
ministration, Mrs. Putnam was one
OF the FIRST administrators. Now, after
an interlude in New Mexico, she has
returned to take up the same project,
which in the meantime has been
transferred to the w. P. A. She
has charge Of the two training CEN
ters where colored girls are given
an intensive course to fit them for
domestic service. Mrs. Putnam is in
hearty sympathy with the social OBJ
jectives of the project, because she
sees in it the beginnings Of the pro-
decentralization Of domestic service.
Lauds p. w. A. Service.
S I'm my opinion" she said, "the
P. w. A. is of great assistance to
that bewildered group OF people in
this country who are having a hard
time to adjust themselves to the
changing economic conditions, which
they do not understand It will help
them to bridge the gap between the
old order and the new"
Much OF Mrs. Putnam's life has been
spent in the West, where she was
always busy as professional volun-
teer" in social and educational work,
though she modestly disclaims any
noteworthy achievements in either
field.
Miss Newell insisted that her life
had been dull and quiet compared
to that of her sisters
Il have taught school all of my life. :"
she said. But her work has taken
her into many Of the interesting parts
Of the country and she has devoted
her spare time to writing stories.
AS an undergraduate, Miss Newell
mastered Latin, but she found it too
static subject to suit her tempera-
ment. She turned to history, be-
cause, Is she says, "it is challenging,
alive and constantly changing"
This winter she expects to keep
regular onice hours and devote her
self to writing.
I'm sure she will make . success
Of It," Mrs. Putnam said, because
Margaretta has more ideas than any
one in the family"

She began the study by looking
up her own Revolutionary ancestors,
when she wanted to Join the Daugh-

assists other would-be Daughters.
She scouts the theory that every

II never found but one ancestor
who had to be traced through his pris-
on record" Mrs. Waterman said, "and
he had been in Jail for debt. I doubt
whether that would have made him
q social outcast even in those days.
"One thing that makes ancestor
hunting 30 fascinating Is that the
records are full Of human interest.
There are many stories tucked away
in the Revolutionary pensions records
in the War Department. People sent
in family histories and all sorts Of
documents to prove that they took
part in the war. ran across one
record in which the claimant had
