since the girls will come without
chaperons. He and I have both
agreed to do what you advise.
And will you tell me what type

I agree that tea does rather
suggest a party for girl. But in
any case I think it would be much
nicer to call Ii small dance"

the same. That is. you would have
to have music to dance to, and
simple refreshments, for one party
as well as for the other.

For the second time, the Supreme
Court refused yesterday to review a
decision which approved a plan pro-
posed by the Baltimore g. Ohio Rail-

debts under the Railroad Adjust

The tribunal refused on January

Yesterday the court declined to
reconsider its previous action.
The dissenting bondholders con-
tended the plan extended maturities

eight years the fixed interest charges
on certain bonds and applied $l2,-

They argued that their interests

The Baltimore & Ohio said it took
the step after failing to earn its

of s94 ,646 900 in 1899 and ss6 ,94S 900

today by two Democratic Senators
one OF them suggesting that Presi-
dent Roosevelt assume leadership In
the movement.
Expressing fear that If Mr.. Roose-
velt elects to run again this yea,
He may bring disaster both tc
himself and to his party" Senator
Overton Of Louisiana said:
The greatest service the Presi-
dent could render would be to send
a message to Congress proposing
a constitutional amendment against
a third term. With his support
such an amendment would be ap-
proved promptly by the necessary
three-fourths of the States
Senator Overton, often a supporter
OF New Deal measures, declared that
he had too much regard for Mr.
Roosevelt to believe that he would
seek to disregard the two-term ira
dition. But. he added, The time
for the President to make a state
ment is now"
Another third-term opponent,
Senator Smith, Democrat, of South
Carolina, told reporters that. Those
who want to get back to constitu-

series of meetings over the country
in order to crystalline their views.
Any action, he said, should be taken
