NOW they are well organized and me
is worth the time it takes, it's also
to attend.
400 Attend Session
OF Chevy Chase Club.
Out at the Womans Club of
Chevy Chase last week about 400
women-the normal attendance at
a monthly session-were on hand
for the January meeting. That
meant considerable walking and
transferring for some, but those
who met on the bus seemed to
enjoy the opportunity to chat.
Mrs. Henry De Coursey Adams,
the clubs president, formerly used
her car constantly, but she's doing
p lot of walking" these days, she
said. Mrs. Adams doesn't think
she will have to curtail her activi-
ties to any great extent. Oil IA
tioning already has made it nee
essary for the club to limit its
schedule to the first three days Of
the week Night meetings have
been virtually eliminated and
dances sponsored by individual
groups either have been trans
ferred to other quarters or dropped
entirely during the winter months.
Back in town, the Voteless Dis
trict League of Women Voters had
a good turnout for its panel discus
sion at the YWCA last week.
Mrs. Wiley Rutledge
Arrives by Bus.
Mrs. Wiley Rutledge, whose hus-
band has been nominated to be an
associate justice on the Supremf
Court, had come by bus from her
home in Spring Valley. There's
quite a hill to be assembled before
she reaches her bus line, she ad-
mitted. But it's nice going down
the hill" she remarked cheerfully.
Mrs. Oscar L. Chapman, wife Of
the Assistant Secretary of the In
terror and the leagues first vice
president, was on hand early and
hot the least bit upset by having to
use streetcars and buses. I've even
overcome my phobia against trans
ferring," she said with a laugh.
AFTER all, transportation problems
and rationing call for comparatively
simple adjustments. Most of us,
TIM sure, are surprised how easily
We can make them"
Mrs M. o. Lorenz, a past league
president and one of the hardest
working organization leaders in
Washington, admitted she is having
10 cut out some of her activities.
But she's not using her automobile
IL there is the slightest question of
essential driving.
Mrs. Arthur c. Watkins, president
sf the District Federation of
Women's Clubs, is pleased to find
bow philosophical federation mem
bers are about the ban on pleasure
sriving and on rationing in general.
Until the federation meets Thurs
eay at the Gilbert she can't tell
how the attendance will run under
The new regulations, but she's heard
lew complaints so far.
Mrs. Watkins Depends
Entirely on Buses.
AS for herself, Mrs. Watkins de-
5ends entirely on public transporta-
ton. las long as the buses run I'm
all right" she said.
Few women have a more strenuous
schedule than Mrs. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, president Of the Twentieth
century Club, who is active in a
number of organizations and also
IN great demand for her book re-
views as we'll as for her musical
talents.
SO far she has been able to keep
sp with her various activities, Mrs.
Marvin says. In fact, when the
weather is good she enjoys walking
the extra blocks to the nearest bus
line.
AS for members of the Twentieth
Century Club, she finds they want
TO live up to the spirit" rather
than the letter" of the law and are
anxious TO do even a little more
than is actually required in the way
Of self-denial.
Miss Lillian Chenoweth, vice
presidentgeneral of the Daughters
Of the American Revolution, is an
ether whose engagement pad nor
nlally requires a great deal of run
ming about. 1t was easy when she
could use her car Now some meet
kngs will have to be dropped for
sheer lack Of time as long as she
must depend on public transporta-
hon, but she believes she will still
De able to take care of most of her
obligations.
A sprained ankle is further COM
plicating matters for Miss Cheno-
weth at the present, but as a OAR
with a pride in the fortitude of her
ancestors, she doesn't think this is
the time to complain.
