Press Women Give Annual Party Friday
IT WILL be ladies night in Washington on Friday when prominent women from all over the country meet for the annual dinner and stunt party of the Women's National Press Club to be held at the Willard hotel.
Mrs. Roosevelt will be there in a double role—as guest of honor and as an active member of the club—and among others in a large group of notables who will be guests of honor are Lady Lindsay, wife of the British ambassador; Mme. Ertegun, wife of the Turkish ambassador; Countess van der Straten-Ponthoz, wife of the Belgian ambassador, and Senora de los Rios, wife of the Spanish ambassador.
Senora de Lopez, wife of the ambassador of Colombia, will be there, and Mme. Horinouchi, the Japanese ambassador's wife, and Mme. Peter, wife of the Swiss minster.

FROM the Cabinet circle will be Mrs. Cordell Hull, Mrs. Henry Morgenthau, Mrs. Harry Woodring, Mrs. Claude Swanson, Mrs. Harold Ickes and Mrs. Henry Wallace and two other distinguished ladies present will be Mrs. Charles Evans Hughes, wife of the Chief Justice, and Mrs. William Bankhead, wife of the Speaker of the House.
The feminine "bloc" in Congress have been invited and have accepted, the group including Senator Hattie Caraway, Representative Edith Nourse Rogers, Representative Mary T. Norton, Representative Caroline O'Day, and Representative Jessie Sumner, the newest member.
From the literary world will be Julia Peterkin, Pulitzer Prize winner, with her novel "Scarlet Sister Mary"; Alice Duer Miller, with a string of novels and short stories to her credit; Bess Streeter Aldrich, author of "Song of Years," her latest book; Audrey Wurdeman, in private life Mrs. Joseph Auslander, who won the Pulitzer Prize for "Bright Ambush," and that bright and gay person, Clare Booth, playwright, who is responsible for two Broadway hits, "The Women" and "Kiss the Boys Good-bye."

GERTRUDE LANE, editor of the Woman's Home Companion, will be a guest; so, too, will Dr. Louise A. Boyd, explorer, geographer and recent recipient of the Cullum Medal; Helen Jacobs, former tennis champion; Dr. Katherine Blodgett, scientist and discoverer of the recent "invisible glass"; Katherine Garrison Chapin (Mrs. Francis Biddle), poet; Cornelia Van A. Chapin, sculptress; Mrs. Charles Milgrim, business executive and dress designer, better known as Sally Milgrim, and Neysa McMein, famous in art circles.
What "the girls" will do for the entertainment of the guests following the dinner is a deep secret—so is the title of the sketch which will be in two acts with an in-between act also in keeping with the theme.

THERE will be shoals of cocktail parties before the dinner and several supper parties afterward. Mrs. Nicholas Longworth has always invited a group to supper with such specialties as homebaked beans and delicious hams spread out on the buffet table, with highballs and champagne served on the side.
This year Mrs. Jouett Shouse is having a cocktail party beforehand and Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, who is a great favorite with newspaperwomen, will give a cocktail party as she has in years past. Mrs. John O. Herrick, chairman of the honor guest committee, and Mrs. Warren Wheaton, of Philadelphia, will be joint hostesses at a cocktail party preceding the dinner, their guests mostly to be from out-of-town. Mrs. Frances Parkinson Keyes is having friends in for a drink or two before starting out for the party.
