Mrs. James last year underwent an
operation for appendicitis. This has left
her still somewhat delicate and she has
been ordered. for this season at least. to
devote herself to the very necessary work
of getting strong and robust once more.
She will, therefore, receive callers only in
formally, and will be able to make but
few calls in person. She has with her for
the season her husbands sister, Miss
Ruby James. a charming young woman
who is an invaluable aid in the home.
Miss James has graduated in law and has
begun to practice IN the courts. She and
her Sister-in-laW have been close friends
for years. and that both are so interested
in the success of the brilliant young
statesman, the husband of one and the
brother of the other, is an added bond.
Mrs. and Miss James are just now devot-
ing themselves to the tasks involved in
getting the home in smoothly running
order, and instead of social calls they
are leisurely inspecting Washington from
the standpoint Of supply and demand
justed they will begin on the equally i'm
portant ones of making the necessary
calls among official life.
II have always found pleasure in what
SO many dread, the social obligations OF
a members wife," said Mrs. James. Il
like to meet people and to hear different
views on passing events. Just now take
an abiding interest in those Of my callers

perience in this direction, though l have

many Kentuckians among the residents
of Washington, and they drop in and chat
about things which are very dear Some
! how, after being here just few weeks,
life in Kentucky gets into the back
ground, and 1 love to meet those who are
just from there or have something to
tell me of it. / would like to have time
to have real good chat with every one
and 1 should make criticism. 1t Is that
things move at such a rapid pace here in
Washington that we merely greet each
other in passing.
II look forward to the rather quiet
time which / must pass this season In
getting to know the many newcomers
of the present season. l feel as though
I were new myself when l look at the
long list of new names. l have a brother
here in Congress and that makes me
doubly interested in all that concerns
Kentucky and the adjacent states"

exciting incidents of our familiar Ken
lucky life.
'My home in Kentucky and the place
where I was born is that section which
lies adjacent to Illinois and which has
been so important a factor in our ma
tional life. My husband and l were both
born in Crittenden county, he in the beau
tiful rural district and l in the city of
Marion. This / find is quite unusual as
one examines the biography of national
lawyers and their wives. My father. Rob

born Mary Elizabeth Briggs, was also a
Kentuckian from an adjoining county.

sense. Kentucky, / think, is one of the
states which has developed local pride
to it's highest pitch. We do not fear being
considered provincials, and fearlessly

cooked and led very busy lives" says
Mrs. James, though few of us can claim
the useful accomplishments of the pioneer
days. I sew and keep myself busy, espe-
cially since my health has been somewhat
fragile and forbade the energetic program
which women in official life have to fol-

in kentucky, l am here for the remainder
Of the session and have established a

most youthful hostesses at present ana
in any Of it's history. She is less than
thirty-ive and looks a good ten years
younger than the years she claims. She
is a dainty, pretty woman with dark
brown eyes and hair Of the same shade.
She and her sister-fn-law resemble each
other SO strongly that their identity is
frequently mistaken. Though Miss James
is much taller than her sister-in-law, they
have the same cOloring and the same
way of talking and are, whenever they
appear together, kept busy explaining
which Is which.
Kentucky Is we'll represented in the
literary history of this country, said
Mrs. James, land we take immense pride
not only in the constantly increasing
number of successful writer's. but In the
fact that so many others not born in the
state lay their scenes within its borders.
It's history is certainly stirring enough
and can furnish inspiration for a CEN
tury hence. Like all Kentuckians, l am
interested in the splendid philanthropic
work going on regarding the mountain
whites. cannot claim any expert knowl-
edge Of what is being accomplished, but
from what / know from observation and
from my friends it seems most hopeful
for ultimate success. For years many
public men have dogmatically asserted
that the problems of education and pro-
gression which the solid block of noun
tain presented from the southeast was
unsurmountable. This mountain district
is part of the Appalachian range and
has most wonderful survivals or the SAX
on settlements and the results OF inter-
mixture of different foreign elements. Its
wild and romantic beauty is conceded
the world over and it has been the scene
of many real tragedies as well as the
environment of many rOmanceS built on
the exploits of the mountaineers.
There are now many Industrial schools
in what twenty years ago We're consid-
cred inaccessible spots and the progress
toward education, culture and progress
sion is steady if it cannot be called
rapid.
1.-The commercial capital Of Kentucky,
Louisville, is another one of our boasts.
1t is the third city on the Ohio river,
being surpassed only by Pittsburgh and
Cincinnati.
1.-The gallantry of our men and the
beauty of our women is another theme
on which we grow eloquent. The soil In
so many places shows the predominance
of lime, and this gives the fresh, clear
compilations. which are the principal
charm of a woman. 1t also gives
strength and vim to our horses. which
feed on the grass raised I'm the limestone
