Shortly after their return from

worked actively for her husbands
election to Congress, serving for two
terms as chairman of the Repub-

husbands congressional district.
She is firm believer in the pow

and thinks that women of leisure
and independent means should give
more time to the intelligent study
of politics and government.
Il do not think that the majority
of women have exercised their
rights of franchise as much as they
should and believe that all women
should work for what they feel is

Travels Aid Mrs. Thatcher
In Political Club Activity
Board Member of League of Republican
Women Cites Need for Higher
Tariff to Protect Workers
BY GRETCHEN SMITH.

World travels, reading and the
study Of languages have given Mrs
Maurice H. Thatcher of 1901 Six
teenth street NV. a knowledge and
insight into political problems which
have made her valuable member
of the Governing Board of the
League of Republican Women Of
the District.
Although her only club affiiliation
is with the league, Mrs. Thatcher Is
one of the most active members Of
the Republican group, which is be-
coming buster as the campaign of
1910 draws near.
Many lovely souvenirs have been
gathered by Mrs. Thatcher through
her travels. Commenting on the
workmanship of some delicate jew
elry she collected in the Orient and
Near East, she indicated how her
travels have affected her political
thinking
when I have seen how cheaply
the people In other countries work
on these beautiful handmade articles,
she said, Il realize we simply cant
compete against their labor condl-
tions and that we must have tariff
which will protect our own workers"
Shawls From Many Lands.
Mrs. Thatchers shawls, alone,
might constitute a "log" of her ex-
tensive travels. A heavy, black silk
crepe, richly embroidered with yell
low and gold roses, was picked up"
in Hong Kong; at Granada, in the
shadow Of the Alhambra, she pur-
chased for small amount a dainty,
exquisitely fine black net, also en-
broidered In roses.
Imagine doing this work by hand
the time it takes, and the small sum
received for It," she remarked, as she
drew attention to the workmanship
on the Spanish shawl.
Mrs. Thatcher speaks Spanish
fluently and through her knowledge
OF the language was able to under
stand many of the labor problems
troubling the workers of revolution
torn Spain long before the first rum
pllllSS Ol tAe CIVIL war.
A colorful shawl of variegated
nasturtium shades recalled happy
memories of Venice, visited during
an extensive tour of Italy, during
which the political situation and
labor conditions were by no means
overlooked by Mrs. Thatcher.
Politics have interested me since
the first days of my marriage" she
explained. Il then accompanied my
husband to the Panama Canal
where he was member of the
Istilmian Canal Commission and
head Of the Department of Civil
Administration. generally called the
Governor, of the Canal Zone. It
was in Panama that I first studied
Spanish she added, land it has
been of the greatest value to me
both in reading and in my travels
Had 30 Varieties.
While in Panama, Mrs. Thatcher
also cultivated another hobby-the
collecting and growing of orchids
a subject which interests her to this
day. .t.....
Il had over 30 varieties OF orchids
at one time" she said. "and some
OF my rarest were gathered in the
Panamanian jungles, where I woule
90 with a Jamaican boy, who woulc
cut them from the trees with 8
heavy machete. Frequently We
would have to chase away monkeys
sitting on the limbs where the mos,
delicate blossoms were growing"

Stunt PARTY
Burlesques
D. G.. Plans
University
Women Offer
April Fool Skits

The progress Of various reorgani-
zation plans for the District Of
Columbia came in for gentle satire
last night at the stunt party of the
Washington branch of the Amer
ican Association of University
Women, annually given at the club
house on April Fool Day.
ITO Be or Very Probably Not to
Be" was the prophetic title of a
stunt put on by the social studies
group, written by Mrs. Charter
Heslep, in which Miss D. c." the
principal character, was pictured as
"broken-d down old woman" taken
to clinic for diagnosis by several
famous doctors.
Miss D. c.. played by Mrs. Norman
Hearn, emerged from the clinic
streamlined and modern, but Dis
trict officials failed to recognize
her. Horrified. they demanded Miss
DC. resume her original character
and, once that step was taken, all
the infirmities of old age returned.
ohlt VII NCOl &0HAA0 tAUAs
"A Little Bit Independent" was
the theme song of another skit on
reorganization given under the title,
"Griffenhagen Follies," by the Leg
islative Committee under supervision
of Miss Mildred Wharton. For those
who oppose abolition of several
boards in the present District setup
this skit proved of unusual interest.
Written entirely in verse and
acted out rhythmically, the skit con-
tanned as a sample stanZa:
I'VE want to be independent as we
were;
1--WE want to be independent-no
manager;
1--WE want to be independent to
choose our staff.
And fuss about our money as be-
fore"
Considerable attention was given
by the club to its own problems,
however, and a skit, We" staged
by the Economic and Legal Status
Committee, took up the status of
its members-married or other
wise-with suggestions for both.
For its "spinster" members the
skit proposed marriage bureau,
under the supervision Of Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt. a member
of the organization. It was limited
that the Presidents wife might
have the key ito just what our 500
lack" because members Of her fam
lily have married 80 often and so
successfully"
Advice for the Married.
For the married members Of the
club, the skit advocated twins. De-
tails of this number were worked
out by DR.. Henrietta Burton and
Miss Myrl o. Rhine.
Other numbers presented included
Encounter With an Interview" a
skit from Mark Twain given by the
junior group under supervision of
DR.. Marie Ketchum and Miss Mary
Vaccaro; Some Bull, With Apologies
to Ferdinand" put on by the Educa-
ton Committee under supervision OF
Mrs. William Carl Ruediger; "Ofice
Cinderella" also given by the Junior
group; and the Pursuit of Hap
piness," written and directed by Miss
Jacquelyn Pringle and given under
supervision of the players group;
Membership at Work." put on by
the Membership Committee under
Mrs. Lawrence Radford, and In
formation, Please" staged by the
Hospitality Committee under super
vision of DR.. Coralie Parker.
A quiz bee in which everybody
participated was given under direc-
ton of the international Relations
Committee, with Mrs. Clyde Hadley
as quiz master.
Mrs. Robert S. Burgess, vice chair
man of the Hospitality Committee,
was chairman of the party and Mrs

three runs, with Roxie Lawson
walking "Skeeter" Newsome to force
In Johnson with the third run, and
added three more in the sixth off
