Mrs. Roosevelt was presented with a bouquet of orchids and forget-me-nots.

Special guests of the club were Mrs. Daniel A. Reed, president of the Congressional Club, and Mrs. Ford K. Ross, novelist, of Annapolis, Md. Mrs. Ross made a short talk and she was presented | by Mrs. John Coffee, chairman of the Committee on Arrangements. ' Mrs. Harold G. Mosier was chairman of the Hospitality Com- mittee and Mrs. H.
