FOR THE District of Columbia Federation of Womens Clubs 



by the v/inds of adversity and sarcasm that blew about 

 him." The ceremony was declared by Mrs. Mary S- 

 Lockwood, chaplain of the Daughters of the American 

 Revolution, to be a sign that the women of the country 

 still revere the memory of Washington and believe in his 

 ideals. Mrs. Carrie E. Kent, another past president, 

 presented the birdhouse for the tree and accompanied the 

 gift with an original poem, in which she urged all to look 

 upward and extolled the oak as the emblem of beauty, 

 strength and power, and all-embracing love. 



Mrs. Charlotte Emerson Main, past president, stated 

 that the District of Columbia Federation of Women's 

 Clubs, under her regime, was the first woman's organiza- 

 tion to take up Conservation, the work being started by 

 Mrs. Lvdia Adams-Williams. Mrs. Main declared that the 



oak was typical of the great strength of Washington, 

 making him a "monarch among men." Others who took 

 part in the program were Mrs. Anson Rogers Tracy, who 

 presented the tree; Airs. Augustus Knight, director to 

 the General Federation, who projjhcsied that the oak 

 would become great and beautiful with an enduring in- 

 fluence for patriotism and loyalty: Mrs. Jason Waterman.

 Margaret Huddleson and Dr. Ella Marble Tanberg, each 

 of whom made addresses. Mrs. Harry Cunningham led 

 in singing patriotic music; an original poem by Mrs. 

 Jessie L. Englc was read by Mrs. Main; and the exercises 

 were closed by Mrs. Court F. Wood, president of the 

 federation, who delivered an address on the tree as a 

 memorial to Washington.
