man that | thought he'd talk ever so
fast, but he was very slow and dis
tinct."
Flow does he look?" asked I quick
ly. not wanting to stem the tide of her
eloquence.
Exactly like his pictures" Miss
Campbell declared, and when he
laughs he shows every tooth in his
head; though I must say they are very
nice teeth. And, would o believe ii,
he said 'dee-lighted,' just like the funny
papers said he did. 1 vas so surprised
One of the girls said something funny.
and he threw back his head and
laughed as heartily as if he was an
ordinary man, without the cares of a
nation on his shoulders.
mr.. Roosevelt is a very nice, kindly
man, and I'm sure he is lovely to his
family"
"1dow did you like his wife,
"She is very sweet, and seemed very
glad to see us, giving roses from the
White House gardens to our officers.
OF course, she could not give them to
everybody. She's as nice as he is and
has a lovely manner.
''From the White House." continued
Miss Campbell, 1--WE went across to the
Army and Navy building. If there's
one thing about Washington I remem-
Der more than anything else it was the
number OF marble steps l walked up
and down. Every building is away up
in the air and to get in you have to
climb. And there's nothing that makes
you more tired.
WI Ting Fang Addresses Them. s.
Friday night we heard WI Ting
Fang" she suddenly announced, land
1 did not think a Chinaman could be
so nice. He wore regular Chinese
clothes, but he didn't talk strangely at
all, though at times he seemed to hest
tate as to what word to use
what did he say to you?"
well, he thought American girls
were very nice, M he talked of the
great benefits American girls receive
as compared to conditions in China
He hopes hat some missionary will
start a woman's club in China" and
Miss Campbell seemed amused, "and
then Mr.. WI shook hands with every
girl in the room. He shakes hands like
an American, she added.
Saturday morning we went up into
the top of the monument and looked
out. We could see for hundreds of
miles, l guess. We Newark girls walked
down the whole 900 steps, SO that we
could read the tablets on the walls.
From there we went to the engraving
and printing department, and then we
went to the treasury. | never saw SO
much money in all my life. We met
the wagon going from the engraving
department to the treasury, and 1t
vas drawn by three white horses, with
six armed men to guard it. They're
mighty strict with the employees. Not
much chance for any crooked work.
You ought to see the immense vaultsi
'The old money is cut up, turned into
pulp, and made over.
THAT night there was another meet
ing for the girls, but I went to bed
tired out. l didn't want to see any
thing. Oh, I forgot to tell you that
we went to Mount Vernon Saturday
afternoon, where we saw everything
The beds were so high that the oecu-
pants had to walk up steps to get into
them.

ut rained a little, but soon cleared
j didn't even take my umbrella out o.
the case. Some of US went to church
Sunday morning, but the majority were
too tired. We went to Arlington Gene
terry around noon, and we also saw thu
old depot where Garfield was shot. II
the afternoon we went through the
Senate and the House of Representa-
tives. We were in the Supreme Court
during a session one day, though, OF
course we had to keep very, very
quiet.
Sunday afternoon at 5 o'clock we
started for home, and everyone was
glad to sit still in the train, in spite OF
the lovely time we'd had. They
brought us to the train in autos, and
each girl had a little box of sand
wiches to eat on the train.
I'VE have enough memories to give
us conversation for at least a year.

Congressional Library and the chan

House."
Think of the energy and vim o.
those girls, to view many, many
things in so short a time! 1t is this
very energy which has made th'
American working girl the respected
person she is. Long life to her!
