remarkable degree ne FACULTY of be-
ing good comrades without losing par
entail dignity.
As for Mrs Roosevelt, despite ner
manifold activities, no woman IN
Washington has more time Tor her
children.
Many friendships made during a pro
longed residence at the capital are
maintained by the mistress OF the
White House as in the old days wnen
cares were not so many nor position
so exalted
The O'Clock tea table is quite an
institution, and about that familiar
board gather many VINO care little Tor
the pomps and vanities of a "func-
ton" Furthermore, Mrs. Roosevelt's
cordially with the wives of the men
who constitute the group of presiden-
tial advisers has made her a prime IA
vorite in the cabinet circle. Conse-
quently the Tuesday meetings of the
"bOudoir cabinet" are charming affairs
well calculated to smooth the pathway
of official progress.
From time to time, also Mrs Roose-
welt finds a spare afternoon to have
few friends at luncheon or to invite
number to hear some authority talk
on art or some other topic of the time
and take a cup of tea at the conclu-
sion of the program.
Finally. Mrs. Roosevelt is RESPONSE
BILE for discovering the charms OF the
White House gardens and supple
menting her discovery by inviting from
time to time the social and oncial
world to share their springtide glories
on the occasion of her delightful gar
den parties.
COMPLEXION LIKE GIRLS.
Whether life goes fast or SLOW the
even tempered, well poised mistress OF
the White House goes her busy way
apparently imperturbed. That she is
happy in her nome, wherever that may
be, is patent 20 the least observant
, Her complexion Is as fresh as a girls
her face is utterly devoid of any lin,
Indicative of care or worry, and al
though she carries a role strenuous
: enough to throw the average woman
into nervous prostration, Mrs hoose
, welt shows absolutely NO sign of IA
tigue or overstrain.
-, 1t is an unwritten law of the Wniu
House that nothing shall come ne
tween the family and it's peaceful ant
. serene day to day life.
= The discussion of the children IN tn
e public prints is exceedingly distastefu
: both to the president and Mrs. RousO
; welt, whose desire is to have their SON
r and daughter grow up without tina
2 self-consciousness which comes from
= overmuch attention. The success
| achieved with the younger children
speaks volumes for Mrs. Roosevelt
= common sense.
= Miss Ethel, Master Archibald ant
d the irrepressible Quentin are a trio a
o far removed from the "bumptiousness
e of the average boy and girl as on
! could well conceive. Brimful of health
g fond OF fun and interested in every
thing that presents itself for consid
n eratlon at the moment, the little IAN
+ lily group are the embodiment of a
u that youthful happiness and unaffecte
simplicity implies
: Democratic TO a degree, not onl
r Miss Ethel, who has very pretty dis
Il nifty Of manner and bearing, but tn
: two younger boys display a pronount
a ed individuality and temperance
e without encroaching upon the right
and privileges of those with whom the
come in contact.
d To the casual observer unacQuainte
st with their status, Miss Ethel and he
h brothers would be noticeable only g
a members of family where trainin
. kept pace with good breeding.
