PRETTY INCIDENT At
WHITE HOUSE RECEPTION
Mrs. Roosevelt Relieves an
Embarrassing Situation.

pretty incident occurred at one OF
Mrs. Roosevelts resent receptions which
demonstrated the lack Of snobbishness
In the FIRST lady Of the land. and
proved that her fondness is not alone
for the feminine representatives Of the
ultra fashionable set. Ever since Mrs.
Roosevelt became mistress Of the White
House she has manifested this same
spirit Of eordiality to everybody. Her
friends have always been made TO feel
that they hold the same place in her af-
fections and to those who come into the
circle through any circumstance, wheth-
er they are presented by the wife OF a
Cabinet officer. or by one Of Mrs. Roose-
velt's personal friends, It is ali the
same. Not only does the Presidents wife
entertain these feelings, but with the
grace OF the gentlewoman she makes it
plain to those around her that her Of
fclal position shall not be allowed to af-
feet her personal inclinatiOns.
At a reception at the White House re-
Gently. after a number OF distinguished
guests had been received by Mrs Roose-
welt. a woman, beautifully gowned and
conducting herseif with an air Of dis
tinction was presented. After the GUS
tomary formalities the guest passed on
to Join a group Of women whose hus-
bands we're in the same official set as her
own a frigid nod from one and
naughty reply from another made it all
too plain that she was unwelcome, for
someone had recognized her as a former
saleswoman in a large store in New
York, an establishment where, prior to
her fathers death. she had been one OF
the most valued and esteemed patrons.
With consummat- grace she withdrew
from the circle, and was about to leave
the parlor when Mrs. Roosevelt, with her
characteristic tact and discernment.
stepped to her side. and extending her
hand. said:
Il think we hardly need TO be intro
duced. as We are such old friends. I am
so glad to meet you here and placing
an arm around the waist OF the young
woman who had so often supplied her
wants az the New York store, Mrs.
Roosevelt led her 20 a sofa and chatted
with her for fifteen OF twenty minutes in
the charming manner which is inherent
in the wife OF the President OF the Uni
ted States. and which has endeared her
10 the people of the country.
