DIR. Smith is tall and OF heroic moid,

His hair and beard are white and long

decided to leave Georgia. My advice to
him was not to accept the position of sec
rotary of the interior. Recognized that
it would be a valuable experience, and
the fact that the place was offered him
was of course a high compliment, but
the distinction thus shown him was the
only thing to be desired. To my mind,

honorable profession can reach but one
higher position-that Of the presidency.

she said. 'sThe climate seems to me to
affect the people and make them rough
and noisy. I never heard SO much noise
in my life. In my home we do not
make great noise. The ladies are the
most beautiful things in America, but
they are very strange to me. They al
ways want to shake hands. Then they
kiss each other. I do not like that. In
my country we only kiss our mother and
sisters. Their dress is beautiful. Their
form is strange.
seThe other day one of the lady visitors
asked to come into my house to arrange
her dress. She was as beautiful as the
Java twilight. Her dress was the same,
but very strange. She wore jewels be-
meath her garments, whers no one could
see them. This seemed strange to me.
If the American woman wears jewels on
her knees, why does she not wear her
skirt short SO people can see them? This
one had much lace on her clothes. We
never wear any but a single piece on the
waist. She had great quantities. She
had SO many skirts that / do not know
how she walked. She never could run,
am sure. It is wonder to me how
they keep their hats on. am sure that
the thin cloth they wear over their faces
would choke me.

lady's dress and put it on justto see how
look. No one will ever see me with it
on. should be ashamed. lido not like
the men in America. They are not po-
lite. Since have been here many men
who have been with ladies have pointed
their canes and fingers at me and said
something. That is very impolite."
