What q. snap it is, to be sure, to
be Presidents daughter! "Alice in
Wonderland" was nowhere to Miss
Roosevelt in her splendid junketing.
1T is to be hoped that she has the APP
petite and good digestion to enjoy all
the banquets and luncheonS and
spreads given in her honor every day,
especially in Manila, where a visiting
Queen could not be received with
greater homage. When she enters a
room as the guest of honor every
body rises to his feet or her feet and
she is sometimes roundly cheered. AT
the parade given on August 18th, in
honor of Secretary Taft and his party,
the several mile-long procession halt
ed long enough to present Miss Roo
sevelt with a gold plate, beautifully
designed and engraved. 1t is said that
her gifts and trophies and collection
of curios is already becoming a white
elephant aboard the overloaded ship.
