rooms tenantable in the White House-Mrs.
Adams is resourceful and self-reliant. When
a woman has been through the revolution her
home surrounded by spies, her husbands let
tiers intercepted, her supplies cut off; when
she has been left on farm with five children
and tills the soil to support the family; when
she has faced the terrors of Bunker hill and
the siege of Boston; when famine and pesti-

passed most of her time abroad. In
discussing the expatriated Americans
Mrs. Adams expressed sorrow that
they should *allow frivolity of amuse-
ment to wean them away from their
native land"
During her stay at the White House
Mrs. Adams watched with interest
the workings of the first congress
that assembled in Washington. She
was always keen observer of the
political situation. John Adams kept
no secrets from his wife. In sending
some important documents for her in
spection, he writes, 81 daresay there
is not lady in America treated to a
more curious dish of politics than the
papers enclose by no means

greatest statesmen of his day, Mrs.

of the game of politics as played in all parts
OF the world. She was shocked by Marie An
toinette's fate She grieved for her as one
woman grieves for another; but this climax
: Of the great French tragedy was not reached
in single setting. Of the many scenes that
led up to that awful execution Mrs. Adams
wrote with deep knowledge: "Were you to
witness the spectacles of wretchedness and
misery which these older countries exhibit,
crowded with habitudes, loaded with taxes,
you would shudder at the sight" In London
she saw the great army of the unemployed,
encountered the beggars at her doorstep the
homeless in Hyde park and, in comparing
this state of affairs with conditions at home
she says, 1.-THE liberal reward which labor
meets with in America is another source of
our national prosperity; population and in
creasing wealth result from it. The condition
of our laboring poor is preferable to any other

America is in her early vigor . . . in cheerful

Mrs. Adams had implicit faith in the future great
of her native land she writes when
he is chosen chief executives:

personally ABSENT and petitions heaven that
the things that made for peace not be hidden
from your eyes, My feelings not those of pride
