was about the size of the Light and
it took a week to get it out. | am
much obliged for the big Houston
Daily Post you gave me. / don't
see where on earth people get so
much to print. / read an account
of Mrs. Margaret Hadley Fosters
visit to y ashington this winter and
how she called on the government
ladies'. 1t must be nice TO be able
to travel and see things and people
and then be able to write 1t up.
Mrs. Foster says society Is turned
"up side down. in Washington,
that what would be considered an
objectionable act any where else is
alright there. This is that strangers
call on the "cabinet ladies'" and
not vice versa. These ladies let it
be known that they are at home on
certain days and visiting strangers
are permitted to call. Now that's
nice. 1t gives visitors glimpse
intothe inner life of our royal ladies.
Mrs Foster said she attended Sena-
tor Hanna's funeral services and
that the ceremony was very i'm
pressive. She said 1t was through
the influence of Senator Culberson
that she was admitted. OH well |
wish you could read her letter. Now
/ think | have all the ingredients in
my pickle so I'll close.
