lam touched the national pride. whose dearest
object is the women of the country, and the
compliment to the daughter OF the President
has won for him the goodwill of her compatriots

| the schooroom. and IN day she has become
one OF the most regarded women in the world.
land in popular favor She is seemingly unaf-
fected by the sudden notoriety thrust upon her
but stands the glare OF the footlights without
finching and anticipates with genuine pleasure
the ceremony OF the launching. the numerous
functions the briliancy and gayety that will
attend the visit OF Prince Henry.
Miss Roosevelt Is a slender graceful blonde.
Her wavy hair falls over a high intellectual
forehead, her eyes are intensely blue set far
apart and shaded by we'll marked eyebrows. A
retrousse and well curved lips give an ex-
preston OF archness 20 her face. and in CONVEX
sation she is animated and vivacious. She
dresses In excellent taste and carries herself
well. Those whose memories go back TO Buch-
anans administration say that Alice Roosevelt
recalls Harriet Lane at her age. Miss Lane. 1t
will be remembered, was popular idol In Lon
don when her uncle served as American Min
lister to the Court OF ST. James. and her fame
mistress of the White House was second only
TO Dolly Madsons. The Presidents daughter
cannot be said to resemble Miss Lane. who
the beauty of her day. while Mss Roosevelt
would be called lovely and attractive rather
than beautiful In face and figure. Harriet Lane
was a hoyden in her childhood a gay and light
hearted creature in girhood, but though still in
her teens when she assumed direction OF her
unce's house she lacked none of the dignity
that should mark so high position. and won
the admiration of every one by her self-posses-
sion and tact Miss Roosevelt has the same
characteristics. the same light-heartedness. the
same fondness for gayety; il seems only yester-
day that she romped with her younger brothers
and sisters at Oyster Bay and galloped through
its lanes on her pony. but in society she is COM
posed and dignified. her mothers capable
sstant; lacking. however. none of the joyous
ness that should be inseparabie from her age.
Miss Roosevelt Is entirely unspoiled by the hon.
age she receives. and frankly interested In the
new experiences that she is going through.
Hers is. in word. charming personality. and
her presence In the White House adds a new
element TO the life there that is very attrac-

German Consultative Board for Commercial
Measures and Royal Privy Councillor who is in
this country for the purpose of studying its in
dustrial and commercial methods visited the
capital last week Like all of his compatriots
who have come to America on a similar mission
Mr.. Goldberger spoke with admiration of the
great manufacturing and commercial enterprises
he had seen. and enlarged upon the friendly feel
ing felt by the people of Germany for America
He said:
Our Emperor is only rejecting the sentiments
of the country at large by bis present friendly
attitude toward the United States. His majesty
has warm personal liking for America which
Is In no way actuated by diplomatic motives
and considerations No greater proof of this
need be required than the coming visit to this
country OF Prince Henry, whose trim will servo
to strengthen the friendship between the two
nations Our two countries, the United States
ana Germany, present many similarites in their
economical development. Both began compara-
lively late in competing with the older indus
trial States. but the success of each has come
with rapid strides.
