more fully than ever the Utah mother
with a healthy group of boys and girls
playing around her, wearing little

songs and repeating the evening

| tory. A visit to these two places is al
most worth a trip to New York. There
are fifty theatres in full blast and
every one crowded, in fact every pub
lie place is crowded, people, people,
everywhere. Be rich enough to get
location and your patrons are there.
Life is continuous rush. No one
knows his next door neighbor. The
word stranger in New York City,
means all the word implies. There is
but little politeness if you haven't a
personal friend, land though you walk
in crowds you walk alone"
The man or woman who by chance
may sit next to you in a boarding
house or restaurant for days, weeks or
months never speaks. One gets the
usual marble stare, unless a west
erner butts in" and speaks. Then it
is very interesting to watch the coun-
tenance; after the surprise, the jar,
as 1t were, the voice and the word is
enjoyed by the east and the west. The
Broadway squad of policemen are fine
specimens of physical manhood. Their
uniforms are the pink of style and fit,
and the men are courteous and help
full to the busy, hustling world of peo-
pie about them.
The street car men are just the re-
verse. Their uniforms are faded and
frayed. The men unkempt and impo-
lite to patrons. Our Salt Lake boys
are princes in appearance and actions
compared with New York or Chicago
street railroad men. l met number
of old Salt Lakers and at once an ad-
miration society was formed and the
chorus was Utah, We Love Thee.
Washington, D. C.
| enjoyed one days visit in the cap
ital of our nation. Through the cour
tesy of Hon. Joseph Howell l was in
troduced to President Roosevelt. He
captivates one by his personality.
There are two elements in his splen-
did makeup that are delightfully."- i'm
pressive, because so rare in human life
today, namely, enthusiasm and SINGER
| ity. Washington is a beautiful city.
| regret very much not having time TO
see more of it. The. people are much
more cordial and polite in this city
than in other eastern cities. They
were pleasant and ever ready to an
swer a question or assist a stranger
in finding the object sought. This
Washington feature of politeness is so
distinctive from other towns that one
wonders at it, and then realizes that
southern chivalry and the tender in
fuence of Lincoln, Garfield, Mckinley
and other grand souls still lives at
Washington.
Chicago.
Chicago is the same windy, rustling,
bustling city, grown much larger since
my previous visit. My old teachers
were delighted to welcome me and re-
ceptions were in order every night.
