- ~~--
Seventy-sixth Congress on Wednes-
day last, the country must be on
the up and up, for the expensive
little animals were disporting them
selves all over the galleries and the
aristocratic, exotic orchid was not
blooming unseen.
Like the poor man at the feast,
hundreds of citizens watched the
parade as it filed into the Capitol
AS the dress parade becomes more
elegant, the opening sessions OF the
Congress wax more exclusive. It is
true that If the galleries were made
of India rubber they still could not
have accommodated the hundreds
of applicants who wished to be
present on Wednesday and hear the
President read his message, and
there are always relatives and
friends OF the new members who
wish to see their honored ones
sworn in.
The general remark was that the
President is looking a little older,
and bit grayer-the latter rather
adds distinction to his face. 1t was
also remarked that there was a
sterner, more determined look about
the lines of his mouth. His chin,
which is a living barometer of the
state of his mind in any final de-
cision. now and then tilted a trifle
higher when he emphasized a
point. BY the way, the same ges-
ture is noticeable in his mothers
way of throwing up her head. The
resemblance to his mother, Mrs.
James Roosevelt, is striking He
certainly takes from the distaff side
of the houSe-born to luck, eh?
Firmness, coupled with gentleness,
and strength with moderation ap-
pears to be an outstanding trait
OF Mrs. Roosevelt's character. The
President is the squire of Hyde
Park, but his mother sits at the
head Of the table.
Margaret Banister Has
Much to Live Up to.
The charming Margaret Banister,
director of Public Relations at
Sweet Briar College, who has in
herited journalistic qualities from
both sides Of the family, says she
has great deal to live up to, and
when she gets to thinking about it
Its not so jolly. Her distinguished
uncle Senator Carter Glass, who
has just been honored by an en-
dowed chair of good government at
Sweet Briar-her aunt, DR.. Meta
Glass, president of the college and
former president of the American
Association of University Women,
and her distinguished mother, the
Honorable Marion Glass Banister,
assistant Treasurer of the United
States, and the only woman to have
held that job, are a trio to be reck-
oned with.
Senator Glasses pet hobby and
prize theory is that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare; if he can prove his
contention that Francis, Lord Ver-
1uam, Viscount st. Alban, Sir
Francis Bacon, and not the bard of
Avon wrote the immortal plays and
sonnets he will realize long cher
ished ambition. The Senator has
spent some time in Bacon's haunts
st. Adams, where he was buried;
Hampton Court and other places
where the philosopher lived. He OF
course knows what Bacon says about
suspicion: "Suspicions amongst
thoughts, are like Bats amongst
Birds, they ever fly by twilight

The stew was excellent.
