Potential First Lady Guest of
" Women’s National Press Club
Mrs. Hoover Entertained
at Luncheon; Many No
tables Present
The Women’s National
Press Club entertained a
potential First Lady of the
Land yesterday, when Mrs.
Herbert Hoover, wife of the
Republican candidate for the
Presidency, was their guest
at luncheon at the head
quarters of the American As
sociation of University
Women.
The White House
And the White House was
presented to her by unanimous
I consent, regardless of the politic
cal affiliations of a group
representing a variety of
opinion. It was right there on
the luncheon table—the same
miniature Executive Mansion
which had been offered as, a
prize in the “Political Spelling
Bee” featured at the club s
annual “cabaret grill” earlier m
the winter. Then-it had been
carried off by a dark horse,
but by this time it has been
conceded that none but a savor
s ite can come romping home m
the Presidential Sweepstakes.
Mrs. Gann a Guest
Mrs. Edward E. Gann, sister of
Senator Curtis and official hostess
for the vice presidential candi
date, was also a guest at the
luncheon, which brought out al
most the complete roster of club
members-— excepting those who
are covering the convention in
Houston—and many distinguished
guests.
Mrs. Theodore J. Pickett, presi
dent of the club, presided at th*
long table where the guest of
honor was seated, with Mrs.
Gann, the club officers and other
guests. Summer garden flowers
were used byway of decoration.
Speeches were but of order, but
Mrs. Pickett said a few words of
welcome, to which Mrs. Hoover
and Mrs. Gann, responded in
pleasantly impromptu fashion.
A survey of the company gave
some idea of how many people
are still left in town. There was
Mrs. Clyde Kelly, who Is linger
ing on until some time next week.
And Mrs. Adam Wyant, who has
been away, but who came back for
the meeting of the national board
of the D. A. R. last week. And
Mrs. John Philip Hill, who will
soon begin a summer of cam
paigning.
Others in the company were
Mrs. Mina Van Winkle, head of
the Woman’s Division of the Po
lice Department; Miss Jessie Dell,
Civil Service Commissioner; Mrs.
Frank B. Freyer, Mrs. Charles B.
Drake, Mrs. Albert Putney, Mme.
Dvouletty, Mrs. Theodore Tiller,
Mrs. Paul Yoder, Mrs. John A.
Hull, Mrs. Robert Mackenzie, Mrs.
Victor J. Evans, Mrs. James R.
Mann, Mrs. Lowell , Fletcher,
Hobart, Mrs. William Sherman
Walker, Miss Clara Burton, Miss
Annette Hull, Mrs. Ennals Wagga
man, Mra Lyman B. Kendall and
Mrs. Ernest Smith, wife of the
head of the American Automobile
Association. She is a graduate of
Leland Stanford University, Mrs.
Hoover’s alma mater.
A Digression
Mr. -and Mrs. Lyman Kendall —
to digress a bit—will stay on at
Kentsdale, their country home,
through June and July, although
they may take a short trip abroad
'in August. The Ennals Wagga
mans are also planning to be in
town most of the summer, as
they are involved with completing
a lovely new house in Kalorama
Road, of which they expect to
. take possession in July.
’ The Hoovers will go shortly to
their home in Palo Alto, Calif.,
where the "notification ceremon
ies” are to take place, but Mrs.
Hoover says she doesn’t know
when they’ll start and probably
won’t until the day before. They
do things that way in her fam
ily and she’s had such long
training in acting on the spur of
the moment that it causes her no
concern. Secretary and Mrs.
Hoover will be honor guests On
Saturday evening at a dinner to
be given by the personnel of the
Commerce Department in the ball
room of Wardman Park Hotel.
And next Tuesday afternoon Mrs.
Hoover will entertain the women
of the press Informally at tea,
Mrs. Gann receiving with her.
