last September, like Aus
tralian rabbits or coun-

they spring up unexpectedly from
every hole and corner in the Union.
The President is always awfully glad
to see them. asks them to lunch and
gets great deal of fun out of talking
over old times. He rarely gets impa
tent, no matter how pressing the de-
mands of his old comrades are, and he
receives their requests with good ma
ture, even though it is impossible often
to act upon them favorably. Some OF
these gallant fellows, as the President
often explains to his friends, are, to
say the least, rough diamonds" but
he will not admit that any of them
are really bad and always presents
them to the public in the very best
light possible.

she is not a great
taIker. She sees and hears everything
that passes around her, being very OBJ

will is strong and her reason and in
telligence are we'll poised She is cool
calm. intellectual, One cannot by any
freak of fancy imagine Mrs. Roosevelt
dosing her head" or having mysteries.
She is born manager. If Mrs. Roose-
welt were a poor woman she would
manage somehow to keep out of debt
and educate her children, and both they
and she would be neatly dressed. She
is not sentimental or emotional. but
she would die for her children none
the less because she is their wise train
err and the director OF their education.
! while so far as her own personal aubi-
lions are concerned she has simply
blotted herself out and merged her ex-

of literary tastes. She has singularly
graceful and dignified carriage and a
