him making a speech when he has in-
ished he does not stay around to hear
the applause OF the audience. Rather
be hurries TO his room and changes
his clothing.
Some people have said that Tom
Marshall is not a handshaking politi'
elan. He is not. His wife thinks It is
more important to guard his health
than to carry out the old time policy,
and she is correct, az she is in most
all other things"
"Home Air" Prevails.
The Marshall home is typical Of the
mistress. It is a 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 a home
first, and the home air" prevails,
IF Governor Marshall ever occupied
he White House people would not
know that historic institution" de-
clares an admirer. Mrs. Marshall
would have it a real home. People
would feel comfortable even IN the
midst of the gold and glitter"
But 1t Is not only as . wife and the
mistress of a home that Mrs. Marshall
shows her ability. She is a politician
and a clever one. She also has a re
uarkable memory.
Governor Marshall has earned the
reputation Of being IN a class Of story
tellers all by himself. He can remem-
Der stories, but he forgets names. A
name is something to be cast aside
With Governor Marshall, and this Is
one Of the regrets Of his life, If he has
any regrets. The governor is not a
worrying man. He is somewhat a ia.
talist, but If he could he would like
20 remember names; but, not having
hat ability, he does not worry, for
Mrs. Marshall is the name remember
er of the family.
She has a peculiar ability along this
line, Not only does she remember
the last name, but any combination o
names comes as second nature to her
and she carries this ability on down t.
the children and cousins of any ont
seeking the governor.
While the governor is shaking hand
and trying to remember whether hi
caller is Jones or Smith, Mrs. Marshal
is busy supplying the information an,
asking about all the relatives.
Ideal Partners.
Governor Marshall has no brother
or sisters, and his parents being dea
leaves him somewhat barren Of rels
tives.
Governor M~arshall's friends are ell
thusiastic over his home life. Whe
he has started on talking of his wifi
a new light in the Hoosier executiv
comes to the surface.
They come near being ideal Marie
partners.
