Decor was not neglected at the Sheraton-Chicago hotel, however. Each day's session had a color theme−pink for Tuesday, for example, with pink cloth tote bags emblazoned with red cardinals presented as favors. At one luncheon, the delegates sighed over a new strain of gladiolus christened the "Osa Mae Gladiolus," in honor of National Council President Mrs. Osa Mae Barton...
