She decided that he had better give ~
some Of the handshaking and take care
of his health first. So when you find
him making speech he does not stay
around to hear the applause of the au-
dience. Rather, he hurries to his room
and changes his clothing.
Some people have said that Tom
MarshalE is not handshaking polltl-
clan. He Is not. His wife thinks 1t is
more important to guard his health
than to carry out the old time policy,
and she is correct, as she Is In most
all other things"
"Homo Air" Prevails.
The Marshall home Is typical Of the
mistress. 1t Is home of books. and
still one does not feel "bookish." One
Of the Marshall friends said he always
felt like eating when he entered the
Marshall home in Columbia City or
the executive mansion at indianapolis.
Mrs. Marshall believes in home first,
and the "home air" prevails.
IF Governor Marshall ever occupied
the White House people would not
know that historic institution" de-
clares an admrer. "AIrs. Marshall
/. would have 1t real home. People
would feel comfortable even In the
midst of the gold and glitter"
/ But 1t Is not only as a wife and the
mistress Of home that Mrs. Marshall
shows her ability. She is q politician
and clever one. She also has re-
markable memory.
Governor Marshall has earned the
! reputation of being in a class Of story
tellers all by himself. He can remem-
Der stories, but lie forgets names. A
name is something to be cast aside
with Governor Marshall, and this Is
one Of the regrets of his life, II he has
any regrets. The governor is not a
worrying man. He Is somewhat ia
talist, but If he could he would like
to remember names; but, not having
that ability, he does not worry, for Mrs.
Marshall is the new rememberer of the
family.
She has q peculiar ability along this
line. Not only does she remember
the last name, but any combination Of
names comes as second nature to her
and she carries this ability on down to
the children and cousins of any one
seeking the governor.
While the governor is shaking hands
and trying to remember whether his
caller is Jones or Smith. Mrs. Marshall
is busy supplying the information and
asking about all the relatives.
Ideal Partners.
Governor Marshall has no brothers OF
sisters, and his parents being dead
leaves him somewhat barren Of rela
tives.

They come near being ideal marriet
partners.

T friends. 1--WE were leaning back, ant
Tom had been telling some Of his goot
stories to illustrate various topics O

for Mrs. Marshall to come back iron

"'Well, now that's the way sh
