THE WHITE HOUSE HOMEI.IKE.
Under the regime of Mrs. Roosevelt
the White House has more truly a
homelike air than perhaps 1t has had
at any time. And this without the
slightest discourtesy to any of the
other first ladies in the land. Long
before the White House had come
within the range of vision the Roose-
welt home life was a conspicuously
beautiful one, and the guiding genius
was Mrs. Roosevelt, who found time
amid the guidance and care of her
household to always be with her hus-
band when he needed her. to listen to
his plans and again and again to aid
him by her quiet counsel and good
common sense.
An exceedingly pretty woman, with
rare individuality of grace and charm,
with quick intelligence. and a most
cultured mind, there has been no task
too trivial, no problem too difficult to
solve, and no ambition too boundless
on her part for Mrs. Roosevelt to con-
template for her husbands career.
The quiet, unvarying calm of her dis
position has done wonders in combat
ing his enthusiastic and at times
rather wild eccentricities, while the
knowledge of mind always in sym
pathy with high aims and ambitions
has rounded out and supplemented the
keen intelligence that Theodore Roose-
welt was endowed with at birth. No
phase of their life-and there certain
ly have been many different phases
has ever had the power to ruffie her
scheme of living or TO make the home
otherwise than quiet. restful spot.
So that there has been steady
growth in intellect and ability in
knowledge and in culture. The topics
of the day have been thoroughly well
discussed at home. the books of the
moment have been gone into and dis
cussed in the waiting times when
there was not public office to Gil and
when Life was much simnler than at
