"Enchantress" and "adven-

they come right out Of the

are kept under lock and key

This is the way the archives
tell the story of the clubs
founding In 1908:
"A City Of Homes"
washington was a city of
homes Hotels were lonely
and expensive In reality
congressional wives saw
little and enjoyed almost no
social life in the Capital .
So many women found it
pleasanter to stay at home.
Truth of the old sages. II
a lady entertain not her hus-
band. another enchantress
will was often demonstrated
in official life. Washington
was a mecca for adventur-
esses and many were the
fine but lonely husbands who
fell in the snares of these
modern Circes.
Some of the Wisest states
men looked upon the matter
with concern and we're will

to make life happier for
the hitherto unconsidered
congressional wives"
