President’s Room In Washington's Union Station Will Be Used By Visiting Soldiers

By EVELYN PEYTON GORDON WASHINGTQN, May 21.—Back to their old stand for the second time, the second war in a quarter century, will go a group of distinguished women. Back to Union station, where, during the last World ‘war, they ran a soldiers and sailors’ canteen, will move some of the nation’s best-known women. The president's reception room at the station is being opened for soldiers passing through the capital. An organization which goes by the unwieldy title of Joint Committee for Service Troops in Transit at Union Station will keep the reception room open 24 hours a day. In 1917, when troops started moving through Washington, the

young wife of the assistant secretary of the navy, Mrs. F. D. Roosevelt, was one of the most ardent workers in what was then ealled the

SOME YEARS LATER she stood in that reception room—by then it was carpeted with gold and blue and was the state department's spot for welcoming visiting bigwigs—and greeted a youthful King George VI of England and his Queen. Now Mrs. R. is the honorary chairman of the committee which will hold forth -there. In that room will be bulletin boards to inform the young soldier, sailor or marine who has a few hours in the capital just what he can see and do most quickly in the time he has. There will be great maps on the walls—maps of his home state; of Australia, where he may be going; of Europe. Big, colorful maps—and little flags with which each boy can mark his home or destination. There'll be magazines, lounges, tables on the esplanade outside; checkers and other games. Nearby is the Red Cross canteen. Upstairs in the station, Mrs. Lionel Atwill found an unused room which will hold 500 beds for boys who must

Appointed at Methodist Hospital

Mrs. James Perry to Supervise White Cross Volunteer Workers

Mrs. James E. Perry, active for several years in the Methodist Hospital White Cross guild, has been selected for the newly created position of assistant to the superintendent of nurses, in charge of White Cross lay volunteer workers, it is announced by Dr. John G. Benson, hospital superintendent, The hospital adopted a policy several months ago of placing Guild members on hospital floors as re- :

ceptionists to relieve nurses of nonprofessional duties. This was adopted as a wartime measure in view of the increasingly acute shortage of nurses. The hospital experimented by assigning volunteer receptionists to the maternity floor, to answer telephones, deliver mail and messages, help keep the supplies in order, etc. The experiment worked so well that it was decided recently to extend it to all floors as rapidly as seemed feasible. Mrs. Perry works directly under Miss Bertha L. Pullen, superintendent of nurses, who specifies the duties which the volunteers shall perform and “coaches” them in their tasks, The receptionists will wear pink smocks, with blue and white White Cross insignia. Mrs. Henry&eonard and Mrs. Ida Barrus are the committee on uniforms. -

comes from knowing that they are helping take the place of those who have gone to war, and also that they are reflecting much credit upon their White Cross chapters.” It is only natural that Mrs. Perry should take an interest in the nursing situation as her daughter is a graduate nurse, . supervisor in a Dallas, Tex., hospital.

‘Housekeeping Can’t Make A Life’

“For the live, intelligent woman, the mechanics ‘of housekeeping can’t make a life.” That's a rather odd premise for an author to base a housekeeping book on, 8 book that her publishers expect to be a good seller. But that is just the keynote Charlotte Adams, food editor of the newspaper PM, chose for “The Run of the House.” It is just off the press. “The book,” she says, “is addressed to women who, with a complete appreciation tha the well-run home is essentia to the basis of living, still do not § wish to mak “keeping house’ their major busi ness in life. “I is my impressio that this describes most¥s Ta oy women—if not in practice, then Mrs. Adams surely in wishful thinking. Even if you are perfectly accustomed to boxing up your energies within four walls—you would love it if this were not necessary. ‘How do you do it?’ is the important question, not ‘Do you want to?’” She goes on to point out that women can be more fun, better wives, mothers, hostesses and just plain female creatures, then they would be if home was their ALL.

‘Don’t Want Perfect House’

In her book, Mrs. Adams attempts to cover the most important and workable points in a self-running household. She has hit a happy medium between the perfectionist and the easy-goer. She takes for granted that most women do not have the time and the money to run perfect households. In fact she pertinently points out that most women don’t even have the desire to have perfect ones—they merely want the happiest and most comfortable possible lives in which they are the

‘{masters, not the slaves.

As you can already see from the premise on which she bases the book, she has a lively outlook and transfers it right to the book—something that is not an easy job in writing about the business of housekeeping. The book is most helpful for womea whose husbands are in the $2000

THE PRESIDENT'S RECEPTION ROOM has been decorated by the famous Elsie Cobb Wilson, who came out of retirement to do the job. She is the wife of Gen, Louis McCarthy Little, U. 8. M. C. During the last war Mrs. Mason Gulick, also the wife of a service

- officer, was the head of the Union Station Canteen. She'll be there

again next week doing her bit. During the last war she had a beautiful young woman working with her—a young woman whose husband happened to be President of the United States. One day Mrs. Woodrow Wilson asked Mrs. Gulick if her duties

for the day were ended. “Because,” she said, “my husband is waiting outside for me!” Yes, the president's wife kept him waiting because her “boss” might need her. And now, Mrs. Wilson again is at work in the new reception room. .
