Mrs. Roosevelt Guest of
Honor at Luncheon for
Club House Fund.
At $10 a plate, Democratic women
and a scattering of male guests—
some 280 In all—simultaneously ate
a delicious luncheon and a satisfactory
hole in the Woman's National Demo
cratic Chib house deficit at the club's
annual Spring fete, held yesterday
at Woodlawn, the home of the Sec
retary of War and Mrs. Harry Wood
ring.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt was the
guest of honor and a number of prom
inent Democratic women, Including
the newly-appointed Minister to Nor
way, Mrs. J. Borden Harriman, pro
vided an impressive official air to the
occasion.
The party needed only the pres
ence of the Democratic donkey,
Queenie, to add the final partisan
touch. And Queenie, after an early
arrival, set the pace for the after
noon.
The famous donkey, which after
an election bet last Fall rapidly
changed hands from Mississippi to
South Carolina and eventually to
Postmaster General Farley, appeared
with some difficulty in an Army
truck and subsequently became the
chief attraction.
Mrs. Roosevelt, alighting on the
grassy sward at Woodlawn. had only

a brief opportunity to speak to her
hostesses before she was led away
to greet Queenle, and luncheon was
postponed while the donkey. Im
patiently kicking Its heels Into the
air at intervals, received a lump of
sugar.
From that time on—$10 or no
$10—the atmosphere was decidedly in
formal. Few speeches had been plan
ned, but at the barest threat of an
address, Queenle from the sidelines,
raised a vocal protest.
Tables for the luncheon were ar
ranged In a horseshoe figure under
the spreading oaks. The president
of the club, Mrs. Wilbur W. Hub
bard, introduced Mrs. Roosevelt and
Secretary Woodring, who spoke brief
ly, In laudatory terms, of. the club's
support of the national party.
As hosts, the Woodrlngs created a
decidedly homelike atmosphere. The
Secretary had detailed a small army
to direct his guests and to care for
their cars. His attire was informal,
however, including a dark blue linen
suit, worn with a striking pair of ten
nis shoes of a shade of royal blue to
match his tie. Though seated at the
speaker’s table, he left at intervals to
romp with his small son and daugh
ter and to bring them over to speak
to Mrs. Roosevelt and others.
Mrs. Woodring, her blond hair
gleaming in the sunlight, wore a be
coming light blue frock, simply made.
For their $10, the party lunched on
lobster a la Newburg, served on melba
toast, spaghetti, tomatoes stuffed with
chicken salad, Smithfleld ham, pocket
book rolls, an ice course and coffee.
The Dixie Harmonlzers, beginning
with Mrs. Roosevelt's favorite spiritual,
"Swing Low, Sweet Chariot,” provided
a lengthy program of music, which
was followed by a series of dances by
pupils of Evelyn Davis. Among the
latter were a group of young "New
Dealers” holding Federal Jobs here.
Those attending included Mrs. Cor
dell Hull, Mrs. Daniel C. Roper, Mrs.
Blair Bannister, Mrs. Lucille F. Mc
Millan, Mrs. Emma Guffey Miller, Mrs.
Emily Newell Blair, Mrs. Mae Thomp
son Evans, newly appointed assistant
director of the women’s division of
the National Democratic Club, and
Representative Nan Honeyman.
