Mrs. Roosevelte greeted several hun- dred prominent Democratic women rep- Tesenting practically every State in the Union at the reception given yesterday afternoon in her honor by the Women's National Democratic Club. There was a delightfully informal atmosphere at the party, the guests following the lead of the new First Lady—and smiles and happy greetings were in order. As the long line of smartly gowned women passed Mrs, Roosevelt words of wel- come mingled with reminiscences of the Democratic campaign, many of the guests recalling to Mrs. Roosevelt her part in the election of President Roose- velt. When the First Lady arrived in the club house on New Hampshire avenue there was a bit of confusion as to where she should stand. With the graciousness with which Mrs. Roose- velt is generously endowed, she put all at ease with a few fitting words, start- ing the rect ng after she had been greeted by Mrs. Charles S. Hamlin, president of the club. The new First Lady was most consid- erate and did not hurry the guests who stopped for a few words. She found many familiar faces in the line, and this brought about animated saluta- tlons. Mrs. Roosevelt was accompanied to the reception by her daughter, Mrs. Curtis Dall, who stood in the line for a short time with her mother, then moved about the club house with the younger members of the organization. Mrs. Roosevelt chose for the afternoon a costume in her favorite shades of blue, the new Eleanor blue, named for her. and the dark blue called “Anna blue.” The ensemble was smartly tai- lored with a soft scarf of the lighter shade of blue thrown about her throat. Her coat was in the dark shade of blue and her dark blue hat was trimmed with a ribbon combination of the two cclors. She wore black kid oxfords and eggshell color gloves, first removing the glove of her right hand before receiving the guests. Mrs. Dall. who is strikingly hand- some, with lovely golden hair, likewi: had on blue. Her hat of the “Ann color trimmed with a small red and white ornament and her gown of blue With a perky blue standing collar of “Eleanor,” showing under her black coat trimmed with an sbundance of black fur. Mrs. Hamlin, who presented the honor guest to the company, was in a gown of black crepe with a black felt hat. Standing next in line to Mrs. Roosevelt was Mrs. John N. Garner, wife of the Vice President, who was in a smart black crepe gown, trimmed with a white bow at the front. She wore a black hat and a handsome black pointed fur plece. Standing next to Mrs. Gar- ner was Mrs. Claude Swanson, wife of the new Secretary of the Navy, who wore an all gray costume, the gown of gray crepe, and the hat of gray felt, permitting much of blond hair to show. She wore an ermine scarf, and her slip- pers were a_combination’ of gray and black kid. When Mrs. Swanson arrived at the club she wore a chinchilla wrap. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson was next in line in a black gown trimmed with real lace and a small, fitted hat with a nose veil. Others receiving were Mrs. Edward B. Meigs, who wore a grass green gown with a black hat: Mrs. Rose Yates For- rester, who was in a black crepe, trim- med with white organdy, and a black hat, and Mrs. Cary Grayson who had on a gray gown with a black hat.

C.; Mrs. Stanley Reed, and Mrs, John Young Brown of Lexington, Ky. Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter re- Mmained at the club for an hour, when they hurried to the Congressional Club to greet the large company who had as- sembled there. The First Lady was, however, unable to stay at the club for more than 15 minutes owing to official engagement When Mrs. Roosevelt arrived at the club, whose membership is compesed of the feminine members of the families of Senators and Representatives, she was presented with a bouquet of Spring flowers by Mrs. Jack Marshall, daugh- ter of Representative Tilman B. Parks of Arkansas, and Miss Roseanne Mc- Questen, secretary to Mrs. Clarence C. Dill, president of the club. Standing with Mrs. Dill, and the First Lady and Mrs. Dall, was Mrs. Harold Ickes, wife of the new Secretary of the Interior, who was in an effective all gray costume with a gray fox fur piece. Mrs. Dill, who presented Mrs. Roosevelt to the few club members who were for- tunate enough to be greeted, was in a gown of black and silver, with a silver lame hat. The Congressional Club was gay with Spring flowers, and a section of the Marine Band Orchestra played during the afternoon.
