 When she was a member of the of- ficial party that entertained the Ger man prince. there was visited upon her an international regard no less atten- tive than that bestowed upon the prince. and shei stood it we'll. The prejudicial and the friendly admitted her charm, her success as the representative of the American girl, for she played heR part, say those who surrounded her at the time, with a simplicity that was all girlish, a tact that was all woman ly. Prince Henry was evidently pleas ed with her, else he had not expressed, by personal gift to Miss Roosevelt, a private citizen, his appreciation of the hospitality extended him in America, for Alice Roosevelt is not officially the daughter of the President, but she is the daughter. of Theodore Roosevelt who is President.
