Bureau of The Bee,
Washington, April 29.
Two oilier annual conventions of
women's organizations liave ended
their sessions in Washington since
the close of t he 30th congress of the
D. A. R. last week, which was a
very important one to the D. A. R.
ihese last two were -the Daughters
of 1812, who always follow on the
heels of the D. A. K., and the Parent
Teachers' association. Delegates to
both these conventions were re
ceived by President and Mrs. Hard
ing in the White House on different
afternoons., and what with the' visit
of the distinguished foreigners and
other duties in bttween, the chief ex
ecutive and the first lady of the lam!
have lived a strenuous life the las!
10 days. In fact, it has been a stren
uous one ever since March 3 for
theni, and they have discharged their
obligations to their country well and
conscientiously. No president and
wife have ever been more hospitable
to individuals or organizations than
they have. The wonder is that their
strength holds out.
They left Wednesday on their first
cruise on the Mayflower, going. to
Hampton Roads to view the Atlantic
fleet, returning here yesterday. Sec
retary of the Navy Edwin Denby
went down on board the Sylph and
both had interesting parties with
them. Mrs. Denbv has not vet ar
rived In Washington. The trips on
the Mayflower are bright spots in an
otherwise strained existence of a
president and in the past several ad
ministrations have been worth, while
features of the spring, summer and
autumn. Mrs. Roosevelt rarely went
aboard, as she was not a good salior.
The second Mrs. Wilson thoroughly
enjoved the cruises with her hus
band and they rarely took any guests
but immediate members of the fam
ily, and at that there were never, but
one or two of these.
The prince of Monaco, that
dazzling island of wealth which
Monte Carlo has made famous, quite
stirred things up in Washington this
week during his visit here. He spent
the week at the Hotel Washington,
where he entertained a number of
parties at luncheons and dinners,
returning obligations and incidental
ly making a few. When- he arrived
he had a heavy mail filled with in
vitations. The French ambassador
and Mme. Jusserand, the Secretary
n( Oil. f U I T r. .
wi jiam uu una. iiugucs, i luicssui
and Mrs. Alexander Graham Bell.
Mr. and Mrs. Gilbert Grosvenor and
others of scientific as well as diplo
matic circles, entertained in his hon
or. The ceremony of the presenta
tion of the Agassiz gold medal for
his contributions to the science of
oceanography to the prince and a
similar one to Rear Admiral Sigs
' ee, took place on Tuesday evening,
by the National Academy Of Science,
at its annual banquet. The prince
s a princely figure, but not a youth
ful one. He has made a fine im
pression and is a really brilliant per
son. And still another get of merry fes
tivities during the past fortnight
have been those for Mrs. James
Robert McKee, daughter of Presi-
been the yoest of Mrs. Elkins. moth
er of the sjenator from West Vir
ginia. The D. A. R. accomplished several
things i t importance during their
congress of last week. Chief amonir
them was the purchase of the site of
' the battle of Yorktown and the sur
render of Cornwallis, which will pre
serve it to future generations. They
also raised their initiation fee from
$1. which has always been con
sidered too small, to $5. This does
not affect the annual dues or the
chapter dues. The daughters will
begin the work upon their new
building to the west of their beauti
ful memorial hall at once, as it is
much needed to house their business
offices.
The D. A. R. of the state of Ne
braska, at their State- meeting last
March unanimously agreed to fur
nish one room in the new building,
that one to be occupied by the re
porter general of the Smithsonian
Institute. This will be done in honor
of the retiring vice president general
from Nebraska. Mrs.; Aull, who is a
sister of Mrs. George Thacher
Guernsey, former president general
of the t. A. R. Mrs. Aull has spent
much of her time for the past sever
al years in Washington where she
and Mrs. Guernsey maintained an
apartment. Since Mrs. Guernsey's re
tirement from the office they have
given up the apartment and yester
day left for their homes, Mrs. Aull
in Omaha, and Mrs. Guernsey in la
dependence, Kan., The office of the
reporter general of the Smithsonian
Institute is a necessary one because
the D. A. R. are required to make an
aniiyal report to- the institution. The
reporter general is Miss Lilian M.
Wilson, who is a member of the Lin
coln, Neb., chapter D. A. R. She
has been in Rome, Italy for many
months doing some research work,
out is expected 10 reiurn nere some
time this spring. Mrs. S. I. Ringer
of Lincoln, state regent of Nebraska,
was here last week at the head of the
Nebraska delegation which was a
much larger one than usual, consist
ing of eleven. Mrs. Ringer was suc
ceeded as state regent, by Mrs. C. S.
Spencer of North Platte, at the re
cent election of state officers.
Mr. and Mrs. C. M. Wright of
Omaha arrived in Washington the j
middle of the week and made a !
short visit at the Hotel Washington, j
Representative and Mrs. A. W.
Jeffries of Omaha have as their guest
the former's sister, Mrs. Mary R.
Swayne of Downingtown, Ta., who
came to attend the convention of the
Parent-Teachers association. She
will return home in another day or
two.

days this week. Dr. and Mrs. .D. C.

New York and -were en route to their
home in Nebraska.

Care of Wrinkle in
Time Saves Nine
The woman whose mirror calls her
attention to a wrinkle here and a
gray, .hair there is near enough to
dismay without having somebody
call her attention to that platitude
about a woman being as old as she
looks and a man as young as he
feels. But. even if she takes the
truism seriously she need not be dis
couraged, for there is much she can
do to make herself look younger,
and feel younger, too. Wrinkles
take refuge in a tired, inactive skin.
They can therefore be kept at bay
only by the persistent practice of
habits that have an invigorating ef
fect on the skin. An active circula
tion is one of the first requisites, and
its attainment depends largely upon
proper exercise. .
Exercise should begin as soon as
she wakes up in the morning and
should bring into action the pores
of her skin and the muscles of her
body, including those used in deep
breathing. Fifteen minutes of brisk
exercises selected to suit her specific
needs in keeping active the muscles
of her face, neck, arms, legs, hack
and abdomen will give all the mus
cles something to do. And when
followed immediately by 'a quick
cold splunge or sponge bath, as licr
heart action must determine, her
skin will be tingling with life and
glowing with color. In addition, at
least one hour of her day should be
given to outdoor exercise, than
which few forms are better than
walking, though golf and tennis and
gardening also are excellent'
As for gray hairs, they need not
intimidate any woman so long as
she keeps her locks glossy and dain
tily groomed. The fame of the hair
brush as an effective weapon for
punishing small boys may be well
deserved, but few women give their
hair brushes the recognition they de
serve as the most effective means of
preserving the beauty of the hair.
Ten. minutes, or even five, of steady
brushing night and morning every
day in the yea will keep the hair in
good condition,- provided, of course,
that, the brushes and the hair are
kept free from an accumulation of
dust and oil. ' The brushing will be
more effective when ' preceded by a
few moments of scalp massage.
The processes employed to keep
the skin and hair at their best will
lead to good results in the direction
of a normal appetite and sleeping ha
bits. Good habits of breathingUid
bathing and exercising will react
beneficially upon the mental attitude
and the woman who persistently
practices them will find herself look
ing and feeling younger than when
she followed only a 'haphazard plan
of raring for her body. We marvel
at the skill of acrobats, yet'' k is
merely the result of intelligent and
regular training. Diligence in daily
exercise and in a cheerful mental
outlook will train in the direction of
making "a woman as young as she
likes," to paraphrase the platitude.
