and Mrs. Longworth arrived In Wash
and New England, where they had
been the guest for few weeks of
I, Mrs. Longworth g maternal relatives.
They were accompanied only by Mrs.
Longworth g maid and Manchu, the lit
tie poodle she brought with her from
the far east.
Miss Hagner met them at the station
and they went directly to the White
House, where they will remain for
week.
s Mrs. Longworth has had strenuous
summer and fall, and will have during
the coming week the first rest from ex-
element which she has had since her
rope. She has the proud consciousness
of having done her part toward the re-
election of Mr.. LongWorth to congress,
as her interest in the game Of politics
never waned from the time Of their re-
turn to their Cincinnati home until the
election returns proclaimed his victory.
Mrs. Longworth is deeper than poll
tician; she is diplomat, and has never
failed to meet a difficult situation
gracefully and with tact, no matter
how. unprepared she may have been
for it.
