as they could look at nothing but her smile.
Mrs Roosevelt's thoughtfulness for her
children has often been the subject Of
comment. recent example Of this Is
worth mentioning. She permitted Ethel
and Kermit to stand behind her IN the
Blue Room for an hour during the diplo-
matte reception. because. she said, they
would enjoy it, and would remember the
splendid spectacle even more than grown
persons would. Ethel is a pretty little girl,
and no one would imagine. seeing her
standing there in white. that she can enjoy
romp and practical joke as much as any
boy.
On Christmas day she and her younger
brother Archie amused themselves by
squirting water from rubber balls on all
White House officials and employees through
crack In door, and even on visitors not
too dignified or awe-inspiring that came
within range Of their light batteries.
Miss Alice Roosevelt does not stay behind
the lines at the state receptions, but strolls
about the East Room and the corridors,
speaking to her friends, as much at ease
as If in her home on Sycamore Hill. She
has remarkable poise for so young a girl

added to Mrs. Roosevelt's duties, she want
ed her daughter to enjoy to the full the op-
portunities afforded by this season Of un-
usual gayety in Washington.
1t was Well that Miss Alice Roosevelt
made her debut this winter, instead of
postponing IL for another year, as IL gave
opportunity for the German Kaiser TO pay
an adroit compliment to this country by in
viting the daughter Of the President to
christen his new yacht
Mrs Roosevelts favorite color, apparent
ly, is white. Nearly all Of her evening or
afternoon gowns are white. whether OF lace,
or satin, or cloth. She has appeared only
once In any other color, and that was at
the diplomatic dinner, when she wore a
pink satin and lace, one of the handsomest
toilets she has yet appeared in. On that
occasion she carried pink roses and wore a
pink aigrette in her hair. All Of her gowns,
however, are in exquisite taste, and suit
her individuality perfectly.
Her favorite flower seems TO be the
orchid. She always carries a small bouquet
of these at the receptions.

Personality of Mrs. Roosevelt and Her

Mrs Roosevelt has the double strain Of

itself a most arduous one for any mother
Fortunately for Mrs. Roosevelt's strength

wife relieves her of the duty of chaperoning

the members of the Cabinet to the Presi-
dent the only private houses where the
President and his wife entertained.
Mrs. Cowles, the sister OF the President,
therefore chaperons Miss Roosevelt every
where-at the balls, dinners and luncheons
given to her. Miss Roosevelt is also usual
ly escorted by one OF the officers of the
Presidents military guard of honor. At
the balls. where she leads the cotillion. it
is expected that one OF these officers shall
be her partner.

now six of these officers where there were
only two before. or these, however, only
four are constantly on duty at all White

These are Col. Thomas A. Bingham, the
chief of staff, whose title is also superin-
tendent OF public buildings and grounds;

Cowles, the brother-in-law of the Presi-

The House and the Vine.

The house is old-its windows racked:
Its doors are falling down:
Where once the dainty tintings were
Is now a faded brown.
The steps are rotting; in the porch
Great gaping holes are seen:
The roOf-trees broken; with thick mold
The boards are fairly green.
The yard is filed with weeds and trash;
The walk is crumbling fast:
The trees and shrubs broken-alI
Their beauty-days are past.
The sagging rails tug at their posts
AS though they fam would drop.
Aye, all is drear and desolate
From floor 10 chimney top.
And yet about the crazy door
And round the tottering stOop
Chambers and clings a tendriled vine
In many a verdant loop;
And ON that vine bright blossoms glow
And smile through all the day:
From every dainty nowr the bees
Sweet burdens bear away.
The broken house-a ruined man
With blighted life and fame;
Soul-windows c!mmed, a furnished coat
A more than furnished name.
The cllnging vine, woman's love
Perchance a mem'ry dear
Whose fragrant blossoms bless the world
Through all the changing years.

Ogden y. Rood.

DR.. OGDEN NICHOLAS RooD, who died
in this city Yesterday, in the seventy
second year Of his age, after an illness of
four days, from plcuro-pneumonia was
the most distinguished professor of the
faculty of Columbia University, his spe-
cialty being physics.
As physicist he held leading place.
both in America and in the whole world
of science, He was one of the first to
apply photography to the microscope
and his original Investigations in light,
IN optics, i'll acoustics, in color and in
electricity were achievements which
gave distinction to his name at home
and abroad
Or. RooD was lecturer in physics
who charmed his students with his poetic
cloquence, while he instructed them with
his learning and the lucidity with which
he explained to them the most profound
questions Of science. OF all the faculty
of Columbia, the remembrance Of him
is most vivid among the alumni who
were privileged to be his students.
DR.. RooD was also n painter in water
colors Of artistic reputation. His read
ing was wide in range and various. In
appearance he was of marked distinc-
ton. He was man as wholly apart
from the world about him, the world Of
material gain. as if he had lived in a
Middle Age cloister; yet he was one Of
the most delightful Of companions and
most sympathetic of friends; observant,
with n nice sense Of humor, keenly
interested in all social developments,
generous, Guileless.
Death has robbed the world Of rare
personality in OGDEN NICHOLAS RooD.
