Women Voters Plan
Glass for Training
OF New Members.

ONE Of the innovations in the pro-
gram of the Voteless District Of
Columbia League of Women Voters for
next winter will be the establishment
Of a training class for new members.
"The complexity of league work,
and the unique position Of the voteless
District, often Is bewildering to new
members" explained Mrs. Henry
Chalmers. who will be in charge of the
class. There has been a long-felt
need for giving newcomers some back
ground from which to interpret the
various functions and activities Of the
league. Also there is often a rush of
workers to one department. more than
can be utilized, while another de-
partment might go begging for as
sistance to carry on its work"
i visualize this job as being at
least twofold," she said. First, there
will be the training of new members
in league principles and methods, and
second, we will conduct sort Of place.
ment bureau. getting workers for de-
partment chairmen and helping new
members to find work where their in
terests and talents will have the great.
est scope"
A series Of meetings for new men,
bers will be held early in the fall, at
which various aspects of league ac-
tivities. as we'll as the general objec-
tives and modes of operation will be
discussed. Explanations. by the heads
OF the various departments of the work
of their groups, will be an important
part Of the program.
THE training class for new mem
bers is novel undertaking" Mrs.
Chalmers explained. while two or
three other member leagues are trying
out the idea, the field is fairly un-
charted. I expect to devote a good
deal Of time to the study of plans and
procedure during the rest of the sum-
mer."
Mr.. and Mrs. Chalmers left Friday

through the East. The will first visit

and arrangement are typical. but there
is nothing Of the tapestry effect of the

lively, quite SO representative. These

1t is interesting to attempt to trace

One wonders why etched portraits
are comparatively rare. since the me-

there is one portrait of an old man,
entitled Sunday Afternoon" by EN-

rendered drypoint portrait of two

posed in pyramidal composition.
A masterpiece of pen-and-ink draw

exquisite sky and cloud effects, done
with minute strokes in blue ink, con-
trasting with the black ink in which
the landscape and buildings are rem

standing piece of work in the compre-
hension which it shows for the plight
Of the Japanese people and it's re-
fusal to take the moral issue of the in

makes it believable that there is, in the

STRANGE WEEK END. By Mary

Brothers.
THIS is another Of those light So
phisticated comedies of manners
for which English country places seem
to exist. This time it is Jock Barnaby,
brilliant undersecretary in the min
istry. and his wife. their two sturdy
young sons and their smart, bored
friends. Sarah, the wife, has sum-
moned to their Christmas house party
q rich American she is planning to
marry. Jock brings along blond Mrs.
Daventry. his answer to Sarah's in
discretions. There are two other
couples, the inevitable bachelor friend
of the family and the equally in
evitable dowager. Mix these mingled
lives Cthey all have mo morals, but
perfect manners" the epigrammat.
ically inclined dowager says and you
have what would seem to be a typical
holiday in the country with the upper
crust.
But there is one difference. Usually
these creatures live in an economic
vacuum where the ugly reality Of
money never rears itself. But
Strange Week End" is all about
money problems. One feels that Miss
Borden has betrayed the class she
seems to know so well by exposing
this lower class weakness, but never.
