Women Surprise

souvenirs and memories of highly
successful good will tour.
The party, which was headed by
Mrs. Harry C. Oberholser, State
regent, left Washington July 19

notice from officials, Mrs. Ober-
holser reported.

an member. The Council room was

they placed wreaths on the memorial
commemorating Mexico's indepen-
