San Francisco Town Talk says:
The Nick Longworths bravely stood
the local crush to which they were
subjected by the limelighters of our
heterogeneous society. Mrs. Long
worth gave a very fine imitation of a.
lady enjoying herself, for Alice, be it.
known, is on state occasions one of the
most gracious of young women. From
one of her most intimate friends /
have learned that there is nothing
quite so boring to her as a formal So
cial function at which everybody's
best behaviour is on parade and no
one dare challenge the sharp criticism
of slave to the conventions. When
Alice crossed the Pacific she was
chummy with everybody aboard in
Guiding the ships crew, and everybody
admired her for her freedom from con-
ventional restraint. Some there were
in the congressional party who had
had no previous acquaintance with
her and they were of the opinion that
she lacked polish. But when they met
her at embassy functions in the Orient
they amended their opinions. They
were proud of their Presidents daugh-
ter, for they learned that she was a
typical American girl who, when it
came to doing the grand could do it
with even better grace than the most
dignified representatives of the old
world nobility.
1t was by society only that Alice
was given a crush in this city. Alice
in Wonderland did not have more
amazing experience than Alice in San
Francisco. The Longworths have been
mobbed in about every city in the Uni
on, and Princess Alice probably ex-
pected armed policemen to clear the
way for them to take passage on the
Siberia. But throughout their visit,
San Francisco, aside from the grea9
furry made in Mrs. Eleanor Martins
circle, went it's accustomed way Sc
renely Indifferent to the presence of
nearly-royalty. There were no curious
people thronging the Paramount Hotel
for a glimpse of the Presidents daugh-
ter; her appearance and their pro-
gress to the Siberia was certainly I'M
marked by any of the demonstrations
which usually beset their path. So
ciety having lunched and dined with
the Longworths the day before and
! having exchanged verbal bouquets
did not call upon the florists audit ac-

tocracy too were singularly lax in the
matter of posies. Not a single bunch
of flowers scented the departure of the

bowed through an eager multitude
waving farewell. There was absolute
ly no one to speed the parting guests
save a bell boy who insisted on in
forming a deaf man lounging in the
foyer there goes the Princess Alice. "
Had it not been for the obtuseness of
his tympanum, probably the rest OF
the people sitting around the foyer
would not even have known that the
Longworths were taking their depart
ure. There was no curious throng
gathered at the steamer to remind
them of the multitude that blocked
their way When last they set sail tor
the reckoning Orient. The Longworths
have been lodging the public since
they left Washington but It looks as
though the public lodged with equal
agility in San Francisco.
Guests at Mrs Eleanor Martins din
ner to the Longworths tell me that

Commerce and Labor shared the hon
