Delicate Question

The Ladies of the Senate, luncheon club of the wives, sisters and daughters of the graybeards of the north wing of the Capitol, face a delicate question. According to the constitution of the organization, "the wife of the Vice President" shall be its President. Mrs. Coolidge has retired, necessarily. The question now arises whether Miss Anna Cummins, elder sister of Senator Cummins (who is a widower) shall be President of the body or whether Mrs. Kendrick, Vice President of the organization, wife of the Democratic Senator from Wyoming, shall succeed to the office. Mrs. Coolidge recently had the Ladies of the Senate for luncheon and seated Mrs. Kendrick at her right hand, but the question is not regarded as settled. There are no greater sticklers for precedent than many ladies of the representatives of this great demoracy.
