Of the largest all-American parties

new members of the last session
Of the 81st Congress have been
invited and their wives were in
cluded. So the building will be
packed and jammed between the
hours of to o'clock.
The Congressional Club plays a
vital part in the lives of women
who come from all parts of the
country with their lawmaker hus-
bands. Many newcomers first be-
come acquainted there, and it is
a place where they can pick up
advice on the best shops in town,
on social usages in the city, as
we'll as find a lovely setting for
their parties. In the last few
years the club, to which all con-
gressional hostesses may enjoy
membership, has added cooking,
hat making, dancing and several
other courses to the schedule of
events.

Senator Russell Long of Louisi-
ana, a veteran legislator of two
years but still the baby of the
Senate at 80, ran into his former
chaplain here Wednesday evening.
DR.. C. Leslie Glenn, rector of st.
Johns Episcopal Church at Lafay-
cite Square. hadn't known that
Russell Long was one of the young
men he used to preach to every
Sunday night at the Naval Reserve
Midshipmen School in New York
back in 1943, couldn't believe that
one of those youthful lads could
now be a United States Senator.
Did the chaplain have good in
fiuence on him, a friend prodded
the Senator in the presence of the
rector? He did, claimed the dill
gent Louisiana legislator. who not
only said that he took notes on
the sermons and wrote them in his
diary every Sunday evening. but
he quoted from one sermon to
prove it. It's a small world.
DR.. Glenn, incidentally, gave
away a parish secret at that meet
ing. After Sunday morning service
at St. Johns he observed with
sympathetic amusement the re-
luctance of children to come up
and shake hands with the rector.
Their parents would force them
to do it, he said. But the same
small fry couldn't wait to rush up
and greet him the following Sum
day. What the beaming parents
didn't know was that as each child
shook his hand lollipop was
slipped into his palm.

One of the more charming pic

ladies, some chic, some not sc
stylish, trotting happily into the
Senate Office Building every Tues
day morning with brown paper
bags containing their lunches
tucked under their arms. Their
