Another interesting point which seems
amusing today in view of the relative i'm
portance of Spain and Portugal III com

Spain and Portugal were considered 50

to interest them in providing a shelter
for old and sick horses, like the one on
the outskirts of Boston.
Il have heard that such a move
ment has been started many times.
The plan has never been carried out,
however. 1t seems to me that it is a
matter that must not be delayed any
longer. 1t seems that there should be
enough wealthy women here to estab-

MRS. HOUSTON, YOUNGEST OF CABINET WOMEN

a drive in the open, the tremendous re-
sponsibility of the official baby of the
Wilson administration.
There is no joy like that of a round.
rosy baby in the household" said Mrs.
Houston, laughing at the sounds of in
sistent demands from the nursery that
dropped to the floors below with beau
tiful insolence. "And my children are
so we'll and strong that they are an
uninterrupted delight. Practically, l
have two babies, because my daughter
Helen is not quite three years old,
but David Franklin, Jr., is very much
grown up-he is fourteen years old,
and attending the Western high
school, which he enjoys tremendous
ly!"
Mrs. Houston possesses the unique
charm of knowing such lot about so
many things without being aggressive,
and charm of all charms she doesn't
dream but that all other people know
the same things. She talks with equal
ease about what is best for babies
and the most vexing problems of
sociology; she knows the ways and
highways Of America, and the gal
leries and cathedrals Of Europe; she
is familiar with the social and his
torical life of the capitals of Europe,
and loves the keen, fresh air of the
moOrs of Scotland
