WOMEN HONOR FIRST LADIES Mrs. Taft and Mrs. Wilson Voters' League Guests Mrs. William 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 15. 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 was not built then--to "talk things over" with General Grant. It was from this house that General Grant went to the White House in 1869. Then later, from 1892 to 1897, it was the home of Clara Barton and the cra- dle of the Red Cross. After the Red Cross moved to other quarters, and un- til 1921, when the league established its national offices, the house was used by the depot quartermaster. It was in the present reception rooms that Major Ar- chibald Butt, the beloved aide to Presi- dents Roosevelt and Tait, who went down with the Titanic, had his desk for some time. The house, built by General Towson of the War of 1812, will be 100 years old in 1925. General Towson, who was later Paymaster General of the Army, lived in the house until his death in 1854.
