Deploring the fact that our number of tons of shippingis less today than in 1914 and regretting our practice of “practically giving ships away for which e ‘taxpayers have spent their bard- earned cash” Senator Fletcher adve cated the maintenance of an adequate merchant marine at all ‘times by our Government. Our merchant marine gives us added assurance of peace as well as protection in time of war, he declared. Among the club members. entertaining at the luncheon, which was presided over-by Mrs. Samuel Herrick, who in- troduced Senator Fletcher, were Mrs. Herrick, Miss Emily Storrer, M George Hulett, Miss ine Ruutz- Rees, Mrs. Roland K.

H. P. Belmont, national ident, who pre- sented the present juarters to Woman’s Party a number of years ago. In contemplating removal from their old quarters, the feminists had Te- gretted not only the passing of the historic old building which they. bad hoped to retain, but the loss of their garden, where they have en- tertal S0 _many times: during the Spring and Summer season. Happily, in *the selection of their new national home they have been able to secure another garden which is quite as re- markable for its beauty, . although not, perhaps, so much so for its - torical significance, The garden at the new headquarters contains approxi- mately 500 rose bushes, which turn the spot into & Tose bower.of more than several thousand blossoms in the sum- mertime.

And I*have passed it on in a dozen ways that I hoped would please her—though I know that I can never really repay her, ex- cept by wishing that I could—" That was all there was to that story, but the woman who was in the littie confidence paid no attention to the next yarns. She was too taken up with thinking a thing like this: When you come across a gold star mother ‘like that -it doesn’t make sny difference ‘whether or not she wears a five-point symbol on her breast. You, somehow, associate her with those other stars that shine forever in Heaven. * ® ok % TH! chemistry of Congress has trans- muted all women into voters— leaving ‘poor us the only ladies in' the country.

An electric bulb blazed its pink radiance over the layout so that its splendor could shine out in the dusk that was beginning to leaden into darkness, accompanied by a stiff breeze that showed symptoms of freshening into a gale.
