in-law and female cousins of adj
mirals.
Two debutantc sponsors, the
ideal type formed the society in
l908-Miss Keith Frazier. daugh-
ter of Tennessee senator, and
Miss Mary Campbell, of Burning
ham, Alabama. Miss Campbell
was the first president. she is now

The incumbent president is

va. At least one OF these ladies
lives sons where near salt water.
Tho society is now engaged in
tire preparation OF : Teou,G of all
the ship-lapnching5 in the Navy
since 1897. The first two volumes
are already finished-l797 to 49,
%. They will he published this
fall by, the United States Naval
institute. The third volume will
record the launchings and spon-
sors since 1923.
/ The work is undcr the guidance
of Mrs. James Meredith Helm,
who is White House secretary.
She is among the champion Navy
sponsors, having personally chris.
tened three ships. Her father was
an admiral. and she broke her
first champagne bottle when she
was child, sponsoring the cruis-
er San Francisco. Her second
christening involved another de-
Stroycr-thiS one named after her
late husband, who was an admir-
al.
The ship christencd by society
member Margaret Truman was
the battleship Missouri, which
has certainly dcnes noble since
then. Miss Truman was at the
time the, daughter of the senior
senator from Missouri. Hence the
assignment.
The society of sponsors is casu-
al about the occupational hazard
of its members, the bubbly splash
of champagne on the best organ
die gown.
The glass itself is confined by
a wire mesh around the bottle,
but the champagne is irrcpressi-

This brings up a very special
problem they have with ships-a
problem common to ships, pull
man cars and babies. They all
have to have names. The whole
vast. tradition of seafaring die
tateS that. 1t took the machine
age to blot out this lovely Scnti-
mcnt even occasionally; certain
types of navy craft have num-
bers and no names, all have
numbers in addition to names.
but otherwise no vessel outside of
a park rowboat is without a
name.
The traditional system of hav.
ing a fair. lady chriSten a ship
with a bottle of champagne is
fairly recent. But the launching
of any respectable ship has al
ways been attended by some sort
of ceremony. The sailors of days
gone by were reSolute in their
supcrstitions. And even today, it

far from romantic vessels. 1t was
not long ago that fine new

second; champagne. The ideal
lady is a pretty and youthful
miss. But this may be extended
to include chickadees barely old
enough to swing the bottle, and
ageing dowagers. 1t has included
assorted queens of England Of all
ages, miscellaneous princesSes,
duchesses and so on. In this
country it is customary to en-
gage as the chirstcner lady
somehow connected with the YES.
sci, or with its name.
= So far as Uncle Sans Navy is
concerned, operations of these la
dies have become so extensive
that the ladies have banded to-
gcther in formal organization.
The group is called the society of
sponsors of the United States
Navy, and it is as you may ina
CINE a very select group. 1t is no
idle chatting circle, either. It has
been in existence since. 1908. In
that year, all the ladies who had
cracked champagne bottles over
the heads of Navy ships were for
mally indicted. Today the socie-
ty of sponsors has CTS members,

Roosevelt, and a glaxy of the

With great courtesy and charm
he and his companion returned
and replaced the chair. The of

courtier of the 18th century.
