Suffrage Group Calls
. Ballot Referendum

method Of obtaining true express
sion Of public opinion, the Dis
trict Suffrage Association will
sponsor a referendum here-the
first in the District Of Columbia
In 81 years-on April 30 to de-
termine whether the citizens of
Washington want to vote.
With all the election-day |
speeches, band music and parades |
accompanying any regular ballot,
the Washington revival of "elec-
ton day" will recall a sight few
lifelong residents of the District
can remember.
STRICT CHECK PLANNED
With regular ballot boxes sta
toned in convenient place, or
precincts throughout the city,
the referendum will be conducted
along the stricteSt lines to avoid
any inaccuracies. The ballots will
be counted just as carefully as
If IN an election.
Results of the referendum, in
which every District resident of
voting age is asked to participate,
are expected to influence greatly
Congressional action on the suf-
frage issue, which comes before
the House Judiciary Committee
early in May.
Decision to hold the election
was voted unanimously last night
by the executive committee of the
Suffrage Conferences campaign
council, which met at 1917 H st.
N. w. Wilbur s. Finch, president
Of the Suffrage Association and
chairman of the Citizens Confer

Charlton'S, no doubt, we were al

pool. OF course, after 8 at
night, anyone can 60 into the
swimming pool, but at exactly
6 O'Clock we saw it. A ire

floor tiles of oyster white, with
a pool whose water was anne

decorative with hanging baskets
of dull green ivy and trailing
silver gray Florida moss ana
whose sides were spaced with
showers, electric cabinets, mas
sage rooms and even q barber

asked. Because Mr.. c. K. Geist
was playing golf at one Of the
Atlantic City clubs and some
one drove into him." answered
DR.. Charlton, "all of which made
him so mad he resolved to have
his own club" Then we went
up to see the suite, always re-
served tor Mr.. Geist and though
Mr.. Geist has been dead some
several months, this suite is
just as he had it. Hand deco
rated walls, two magnificent
bedrooms, with exquisite French
furniture, deli icate chintzeS,
bronze carpets, enormous bath
rooms done in dusty pink and q
living room which held in its
four walls, furniture and antique
pieces worthy or a museum col

that we stopped too long to adj

brocades and rich violet rugs

around and into every open
door, we thought we might
spend the rest Of our life there.
And though we wouldn't have

son for wanting to get back to
Washington the next day. So we
called loudly for the rest Of our
party and finally were rescued.

IF YOU can picture a rolling

oval additions in the front, plus
a long wing which seems to ex-
tend towards the back and con-
tinue on into the low blue hori-

OF what the Seaview Golf Club
slightly resembles.
ONCE inside, you are sur
~ rounded by three or four of
the club staff whose only desire
is to make one comfortable and

in the mood to be comfortable,
we wanted to see-the. pale
green walls of the entire first
floor which included the din
ing room, the long living room
with sapphire blue rugs, rose
and gold furniture and ma
hogony furniture which glowed
like glossy satin, and the music
room with it's heavy curtains
which were reminiscent of a
rose gold sunset and inviting
with low chairs, divans and an
occasional backgammon table,
the latter for those who insisted
