The tea at the club, which is made up of wives and daughters of ‘members of Congress, was given to honor Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, wife of the Chief Justice, and the wives of the associate justices of the Supreme Court. Mrs. Edward R. Burke, whose husband is a member of the Senate from Nebraska, headed the receiving line and presented the guests to the Supreme Court ladies. Mrs. Burke is president of the organization and during her regime she has inaugurated many interesting events at the spacious clubhouse at 2001 New Hampshire avenue, Yes- terday’s party was a revival of the musicale receptions which in the past were s0 popular with the membership ol\t,he club. Two Young Artists Give Program Before Reception, Before the reception and tea a program was given by two gifted young artists. Miss Rose Berkshire, mezzo soprano, charmed the au- dience with a group of songs, and Miss Beverly Cole received no less acclaim with her piano selections. Mr. August King-Smith was Miss Berkshire’s accompanist. The youth- ful artists wore blue afternoon dresses and after their performances they were presented with old-fash- doned nosegays of sweetheart roses and forget-me-nots. Mrs. Charles F. McLaughlin introduced the artists to the guests, making a gracious speech in which she told of the re- vival of the musicale teas at the club. The clubhouse was gt its best yes- terday, and with the guests, repre- senting all sections of this country, wearing their most becoming en- sembles -and striking hats the scene was a pleasant one, Tall vases holding great clusters of flame-color gladioli were placed about the club- house and in the ballroom there were palms.

Black was a striking figure in her gown of figured silk and her flower hat was of lilacs and rose buds. She wore two hand- some silver fox and her corsage was of yellow roses. Mrs. Stanley Reed had on a red- ingote dress, the frock of blue and white polka dot and the coat of dark blue crepe. She wore a straw hat of London tan straw, her accessories matched her hat, and she wore orchids. Stately and handsome Mrs. Felix Frankfurter was in a spring- like green and white figure jacket dress, worn with a light tan straw hat, and her bouquet was of Belmont gardenias. Mrs. Willlam O. Douglas’ costume was of a dusty rose crepe, the gown made with a jacket, and she wore a pencake straw hat in a champagne color. A spray of white orchids com- pleted her becoming costume. Holding an impromptu reception — . during the afternoon was Mrs. Henry Allen Cooper, whose husband was a member of Congress from Wisconsin for many years.

Dorothy Dix Says - - - Common Sense Greatest Virtue Any Wife Can Possibly Have Dear Miss Dix: What do you think is the most desirable quality a wife can have? What particular char- acteristic should a man look for in the girl he marries? PHILIP. Answer—I rate common sense above every other virtue in a wife. I put it above devotion, amiability, domesticity —even above intel- ligence in its highest form. Love doesn’t solve the problem of com- munal life, for many a woman who loves her husband enough to be willing to die for him is impossible to live with. Amiability isn't enough because you can get fed up on that as you can on a diet of chocolate creams. There has to be something more than sweetness in a woman to make her a good wife. Domesticity isn’t enough just of itself, because it costs less to hire a competent housekeeper than it does to marry one, &3 But if you marry a girl who has good, hard, horse sense, you've gét the answer to all of your require- ments. She will know how to meet every situation. She will take the ups and downs of marriage without whining or complaining. She will laugh misadvantures off instead of having hysterics. And, best of all, she will know how to manage you. If you marry a girl with common sense, you won't get a nagger. She knows that a man listens to his wife when she says a thing once, but he turns off the loudspeaker when it becomes her theme song. She knows that by the time a man is old enough to get married he has acquired ways and habits and tastes that are as much a part of him as his skin, and that a wife interferes with these at her peril. She won't be a green-eyed cat, jealous of every woman you look upon. She will have enough sense to know that if you hadn't preferred her to any other woman you wouldn’t have married her, and that in the end a woman has to trust her husband, s0 why not do it at first and save all the headaches? Furthermore, she will argue that if you have so little principle and sense of honor and responsibility that you can't be faithful to your marriage vows, you are not worth bothering. about. Common sense is also the only antidote for what we are pleased to call the disillusion of marriage, and if you marry a level-headed girl you will never have to go through that awful adjustment pe- riod that comes coincident with the waning of the honeymoon and find- ing out that domesticity is a chore and not a picnic. The common-sense girl will not be disappointed in marriage because she didn’t expect too much of it. Nor will she go to pieces over dis- covering that you are not a fairy prince because she knew it all the time. She will just go loving you with all your faults and trying to make you a comfortable home and keep you glad she was your pick. The solutipn of every. crisis in marriage is common sense, and that goes for men as well as for women. Give every situation a first-aid treatment of that and you will never need to call in a divorce lawyer. If something comes up over which you must either laugh or cry, com- mon sense will bid you make a joke of it instead of a tragedy. If your husband or wife craves to be petted and flattered, for Heav- en’s sake have enough common gense to jolly him or her along, and it will be money in your pocket and peace in your home. There isn’t a problem in marriage that you can't solve by using a pinch of common sense. And the girl who has that has what it takes to make a happy marriage. DOROTHY DIX.
