Party lines were lost yesterday when | the Congressional Club entertained at | a delightfully planned Spring break- fast in honor of Mrs. Roosevelt. Spring dresses, Spring hats and lots of flow- ers gave the atmosphere of the season | and, while, perhaps, the company was not quite so large as in some other years, the great ball room was filled | to capacity. A drawing room effect was created at one end of the large room, screened from the tables. and there Mrs. Wil- liam M. Whittington, wife of Repre- sentative Whittington of Greenwood, | Miss., president of the club, and her | corps of assistants received Mm‘ Roosevelt, the Secretary of Labor, Miss | Perkins: the ladies of the cabinet, | Mrs. William Howard Taft, wite of the | late President, who later sat at the right of Mrs. Roosevelt, and other honor guests. The procession of the guests to the table as well as the reception and de- parture of guests was conducted with the usual simple form, the long table arranged on a raised platform showing & bounteous array of flowers, the Elea- nor Roosevelt rose with gypsopheli £napdragon and other flowers of the daintier sort predominating. At the far end of the ball room, the alcove of palms against a dull blue and green | background made a setting for the United States Marine Band Orchestra, | conducted by Capt. Taylor Branson, | the musicians making a fine picture | n their brilliant uniforms. The pro- gram was most fittingly arranged. Besides the long guest table the breakfast was served to the members and guests from many round tables, each bearing its bouquet of gay flowers. | At the speakers’ table were Mrs. | Franklin D. Roosevelt, Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, Mrs. Joseph W. Byrns, Mrs. William H. Taft, Mrs. Harlan | Fiske Stone, Mrs. Owen J. Roberts. Mrs. Cordell Hull, Mrs, Henry Mor: genthau, jr.. Mrs. George H.
