Mrs. Roosevelt Is a woman Of de-
vout nature and Conventionally reli-
gious habit. In Washington she Is a
regular attendant at St Johns Epis-
copal Church, fact which has caus-
ed its share of tongue-wagging. For
the President. as stanchly loyal to HIS
traditions as Mrs. Roosevelt to hers,
attends Grace Church. This division
OF family worship has troubled GER
tain minds until sermons have actual
ly been delivered upon It, That the
frank, open steadfastness OF each to
an early creed Is really convincing
tribute to the others gentleness and
generosity. and an evidence OF a true
unity OF feeling, escapes these critics.
In this matter. as in all the others,
Mrs. Roosevelt is untroubled by out
cry. II in her busy life she should
undertake seriously to consider criti-
cisms, then the twenty-four hours,
none too long now. would fail utterly
for the sum of her days activities.
But she has knowledge, gentleness, and
humor, a trinity Of virtues proof
against the shafts OF censure. She
knows pictures, and is unmoved by the
clamor of those who arraign her at the
bar of morality because she restores to
its place on the White House walls
Watts beautiful Love and Death which
prudish din caused former admin
istration to Danish to the Corcoran
Art Gallery. She knows society, and
can bear with composure the objections
to her well ordered rule. She knows
boys. and she can smile over the pa
triotic uproar that followed her re-
moval OF some old mahogany from her
sons bedrooms and the substitution
Of iron and oak; yet she must have
been trihe amazed at first to dis
cover that her wise provision for the
saving Of national furniture should
be regarded as the vandalism OF a per-
son with no feeling for antiques.
She knows how to dress well, and can
not fail to be amused at the reports OF
her parsimony or extravaganza, as they
alternately swing into circulation
