after her. marriage to Mr.. Har-

Friendship, Mrs. McLean's
present home on r street at Wis
consin avenue is another of the
landmarks of old Georgetown.
When it was built Georgetown
was a separate city and impor-
tant port for shipping. Through
the years the house has been
changed and remodeled and in
fact the present structure replaced
the original house which burned
many years ago. The house has a
commanding view of Georgetown
and the Potomac, standing as it does
on the heights above the once thriv-
ing port which now is quaint and
historic part of the Nations Capital.
Mrs. Mclean has carried on many
of the traditions of her late parents
in-law and personally was devoted
to the old Friendship and for that
reason retained the name for her
new abode.
She also has continued the custom
of the late. Mr.. and Mrs. John r.
Mclean in entertaining the promi-
nent men and women of the day.
Her guests today will number cab
met officials, Supreme Court justices
and their wives as we'll as ranking
diplomats and members of congress
sional circles. Also there always are
outstanding stars of the theater and
the screen as we'll as writer's and
artists And, since the war, the
gracious hostess always includes a
number of men in the service of
Uncle Sam.

Secretaries to Senators Busy War Workers
Mrs. 4. J. EHender
Guides Making of
Surgical Dressings
Bv Katharine Brooks.

By Katharine Brooks.
Senator and Mrs. Allen j. El-
lender will return the end of this
week from their Louisiana home
where they are spending the
Easter recess. Mrs. Ellender prob
ably would stay longer in her
Southern home were it not for
the numerous war activities in
which she is the moving spirit.
Her most recent responsibility
is the group of secretaries to
Senators who meet three times
a week to make surgical dressings
for the American Red Cross.
These vitally necessary dressings
are used by the Red Cross for
their hospitals in far off war
fronts, and these efficient and
conscientious young women toll
regularly and have turned out
more than thousand in the
three weeks they have been at it.
Being secretaries they have du-
ties which require most of their
working hours, but they take
lunch hours once a week and two
hours after the work day is over
twice a week to give their time
and energy for the wounded.
The work is done in the room
in the Senate Office Building. set
aside for the Senate Ladies
Lunch Club" now turning its
whole attention to the making of
surgical dressings which was the
reason for its organization by
Mrs. Thomas Riley Marshall, wife
of the Vice President during the
Great War. In this room may be
found secretaries to any one of
IS or more OF the Senators any
Wednesday from IL to or Mon
days and Fridays from 5 to Z
O'Clock.
Mrs. Ellender gathered together
a few of these young women who
are anxious to do their bit toward
the war effort but have a very
limited time to give. April S they
started their work and today
there are so of them and the
group still is growing each week.
Many of these workers in the
Senators Offices have worked for
several years on sewing for the
Red Cross but not until the first
week in this month did they go
into the making of surgical dress
ings. The need for sewing is not
as great as that for surgical
dressings and although some few
keep up that work many more
have gone into the making of
dressings. The sewing may be
taken home and done at any
spare moment. but the dressings
must be made under sanitary
conditions and the makers must
wear the white uniform and
headdreSS.
During these past several years
that the group has done the
sewing and the knitting for the
Red Cross they have turned out
2,5l2 articles and have put in
1888 hours. That is, there are
that many hours charted but no
doubt many of them did sewing

up a package of dry ice from the
laboratory. Might as well chill a
couple of bottles Of gingerale in my
closet. Would you boys care to have
drink with me?"
The professor was speaking loud
ly, and Agatha knew he intended
her to hear. He was warning her
that he was going to open the
closet door-and she had better not
be visible! She strained to catch
any hint Of remorse in his voice for
the manner in which he had treat
ed her, but he was coldly matter
of-fact She told herself desperately
that he really cared-he must care
or he would not go to this trou-
bic to protect her.
His footsteps were emphasized,
covering any slight sound she made
as she drew back as far as possible
into the closet and pulled the
hanging clothes together in front
Of her.

The closet door opened. Looking
down she could see Otto's hands de-
posting a large paper-wrapped
package on the floor. She judged
that his body must be crouched
low, hiding her feet from the view
of anyone behind him.
His fingers ripped the paper
from the package, which contained
a hard white block that was smok-
ing family. He set one Of the bot
ties beside IL, then withdrew and
shut the door.
A crack Of light had shown
/ through under the door before, but

Feet tiptoed cautiously in the
hall, coming closer. Agatha, hold
ing her breath, guessed that the

doorway, searching the room with
his eyes.

CHAPTER FIVE

THE STUDENT next door heard
Agatha cry out as her husband
struck her. a chair moved in the
adjoining room and its former oc-
cupant took a couple Of hesitant
steps, then stopped.
Agatha, trembling like a leaf,
stood still, one wrist clamped IN
the cruel wise of Otto Halders's left
hand-his right hand still pressed
hard against her mouth to stifie
further outcry.
On the floor the cigaret glowed
where he had dropped 1t, and
wisp Of smoke curled up from the
charring carpet. She saw it as in a
dream. She realized only that the
man she loved hated her
BE still" he commanded.
In the back Of her mind she rec
ognized that the college youth next
door must be in a quandary. He had
heard a womans voice from the
room of his professor, in the dead
of night. He would not know that
Otto Halder was married.
The professor was thinking out
loud. you can't leave by the win
dow until he is out of his room. Get
into my cleset!" He urged her to-
ward the closet door.
She protested, IF anyone Is sus-
lpicious the closet will be the first
place he will look"
do you see any other place to
hide? ?" he asked her fiercely. He
opened the closet with one hand
and showed her inside. She stifed a
sob. Why did he have to treat her
so roughly? If he only knew how
she loved him!
Already there was a knocking on
the hall door. Someone, not as timid
as the youth next door, was going
to demand an explanation from
Professor Halder. -
The blackness Of the closet en-
quilted her. She felt herself among
the folds Of hanging garments. Her
feet knocked over loose objects
piled on the closet floor BY the
sound of them they must be bottles
The professor had never been not
ed for the neatness with which he
kept his scientific equipment.
The latch on the hall door slid
back and the door creaked open.
Her husband asked, Whats wrong,
Ted ?"
L heard a voice"
"Why, so did L." exclaimed Pro-
lessor Halder in mock surprise.
Sounded like a womans voice,
too"
yves, sir. II thought
mo woman would be coming up
the stairs to this floor. especially
at night; and yet it sounded very
Slose."
That's what I thought"
HIN" The professor pondered
the problem. I'VE are right at the
head of the stairs. She might have
been calling from below" He raised
his voice, and Agatha imagined he
must be leaning over the stair rail-
ing. "Hullo! Anyone there"
Only answer came from the
young man, still skepticaL "She
called your name"
Not unlikely replied the pro-
lessor. Il was downstairs in my
