TO THE OLD COLONIAL HOMES OF VIRGINIA IN royal beauty, with their columned strength, Their carven stairs the tread of tiny feet Have hallowed-baby feet they've upward led; Long may these dear colonial homes endure; Long may their stately portals wide be held Rest, peace and joy to find within their walls. Buchanan, Virginia. LUCY PRESTON BEALE, Assistant Hostess to Mrs. Swanson. MRS. CLAUDE A. SWANSON Hostess of the Virginia Building To Mrs. Swanson-Most fit dispenser of the hospitality of the Old Dominion, and perfect type of her fair and lovely women. In the language of Mrs. Donald McLean, "The most accomplished hostess in America." To Mrs. Swanson-Governor of Virginia! For all Virginians echo the sentiment of her gallant husband when he says: "The women rule in Virginia. Mrs. Swanson is Governor of Virginia." JULIA WYATT BULLARD. |
