of the factory quivered, and then the
rear portion of il collapsed. In a fIac-

(By X. NJ. Larner, in Savannah News.)
Washington, May 17.-Miss Alice
Roosevelt is industriously studying
Spanish, in anticipation of her forth
coming pilgrimage to the Philippine
Islands, as the guest of the Secretary
OF War and Mrs. Taft. AS soon as it
was decided that Miss Roosevelt was to
be a member of the party, she COM
menced taking conversation lessons,
from a teacher who speaks the Span
ish language as it is spoken by the Fill
pinOs. She has proved to be a very apt
scholar, and during three months in
StTuctiOn, has acquired suff icient
knowledge of the language to converse
intellligently, if not fiuently.
Among her South American ,ac-
Quaintances it has become known that
Miss Roosevelt is thirsty for practice
in Spanish conversation, and they de-
light to assist her in her work. From
those who have had experience in the
Philippines she has learned hat the
natives still cling to the Spanish Gus
toms, and they show greater Difference
TO strangers who can converse in the
Spanish with which they are familiar.
Her progress has been very gratifying
to the President, and it was an agree.
able surprise to him upon returning
from his hunting expedition to be ad-
dressed by his daughter in Spanish.
THE ROOSEVELT QUICKSTEP.
Miss Roosevelt usually takes her
Spanish lessons in the morning. She
may be seen daily, when at home, leav-
ing the White House about 10 o'clock.
Attired in a plain, well-fitting walking
suit of blue, O brown material, with
hat to match, and tan shoes, with
broad ribbon bows. She carries in her
hand a combination leather whip and
dog cosd fN. her favOrite fox hound,
which trots along beside her. Out
through the west gate of the park,
across Pennsylvania avenue, she goes
at a brisk walk, so characteristic OF
the President and his family, that it is
sometimes alluded to as the Roosevelt
quick STEP" out Connecticut avenue to
the home of her teacher. 1t is said she
will surprise some of her shipmate,
| when they reach Manila by her fami!-
liarity with the Spanish language.
NOT STUDYING ALL THE TIME.
1t must not be assumed that Miss
Roosevelt is devoting her entire time
to her studies. She inherits from her
father a love for outdoor sport and
| recreation. She enjoys tennis, base
ball, but her favorite sport has to do
with horses. She rides as we'll as any
! young lady in Washington, and she is
anxious to get permission from her
father to participate in fox hunts Of
the Chevy Chase Club. During the re-
cent meeting of the Washington Joe
key Club. she bought a highly bred
steeple chaser, and she derives much
pleasure from her frequent cross coun-
try rides. She also handles an auto
mobile very cleverly, in fact, she is In,
terested in any sport that has a flavor
of excitement Or dash about it.
