Driving from Washington to act as sponsor for the Navy's pride went Mrs. Clavde Swanson, wife of the Secretary of the Navy, taking with her Mrs. Woodrow Wilson and Mrs, Jack Fletcher, ‘whose husband was formerly the Secretary’s aide. The position of spomsor holds many responsibilities, and petite and vivaciosss Mrs. Swanson—who wears a size 2-AA shoe—literally hung with orchids, carried the weight of the Enterprise launching with aplomb. Posing obligingly for the photographers, inclusive of a gay greeting to surrounding friends, Mrs. Swanson and her party were whisked off to a very exclusive luncheon at the mearby James River Couniry Club. A sponsor’s responsibility does not end with the crack of the champagne bottle and the whirl of the news reel, for these sponsors have occasional reunions, on€ of which occurred several years ago, when they were the guests of Mrs. Roosevelt at the White House. Coming from all over the country, these wives and daughters of prominent men, have many stories to tell, inclusive of the difficulties attendant during the prohibition era! Both Mrs. Gearge Barnett and Eleanor Roosevelt, daughter of Mrs. Henry Latrobe Rocsewelt, are local representatives, * % % ¥ ERE'Y mews of Gertrude Faust, who married Lieut.

Repre- senflutive at large, covering all spots of worldly note, he higs been actively interested in our present political fracas. Having inteyviewed President Roosevelt at his weekly press conference, Barzing found that it is easier for a foreign representative to obtain & personal intevview with 11 Duce than our at man—who prefeps mass audliences rather than the personal touch. Mfter having looked over the wide range offered by the New Deal's alphahestical soup, he has chosen “MIK” and “FHB!"
