22 WOMEN HONOR URSTVLADIES' Mr*. Taft and Mr*. WUson Voters' League Guests Mrs. Williams Howard Taft and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wives of the only liv- ing ex-presidents of the United States, will be honor guests of the National League of Women Voters at a recep- tion in the league's national headquar- ters, 532 Seventeenth street, Washing- ton, January IS. This announcement was received by local members early this week. More than 1,200 invitations to meet Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wilson have been issued to prominent women of of- ficial and social Washington. Mrs. Maud Wood Park, president of the league, Mrs. Harriet Taylor Up- ton, vice-chairman of the executive committee of the Republican National committee, and Mrs. Emily Newell Blair, vice-chairman of the Democratic National committee, will receive with the distinguished guests. The reception will take place in a house of historic importance in the last century. It was in the main rooms of the league's headquarters that President Lincoln is said to have often conferred with General Grant. When General Grant came to Washington there were no suitable offices for him in the old war department, so he established his Headquarters in the house across the street. History books tell of the days when President Lincoln frequently walked over from the White House-- the big State, War and Navy building the depot quartermaster. It was in the some time.
