life, Mrs. Gregory is by no means mar
row in her views.
On the contrary, she is keenly alert.
a progressive, talented woman who has
kept step with her husband in his busy
life and managed in some way to eX-
orciSe the years, since nothing IN her
appearance would indicate that she has
a young lady daughter, son about
to enter Princeton, another at Winches-
ter In a preparatory school and a lit
tie girl of eight years at home.
When asked If Miss Jane Gregory
would be one of the seasons debu
tantes. Mrs. Gregory answered most
positively in the negative.
t'She will not make any formal debut.
/ do not like the idea of gathering
ones friends and acquaintances to-
presenting a young daughter. I dare
say my ideas are bit old fashioned,
but 1 feel just as my father and mother
did about their girls.
They wanted US to have all of the
pleasure and enjoyment possible, but
they did not fancy the idea of inviting
attention for their girls and virtually
putting them up for bids in the mar
like a criticism of social custom.
doesn't it? But I do not mean it thar
way. / simply do not plan anything of
the kind for my daughter. though I
hope she Will get great deal OF pleas
ure out of the social life here"
Miss Jane, however, misses her Aus
tin friends and college mates and. as
does her eldest brother, Thomas, she
wants to go back to the Lone Star state.
Like her mother, Miss Jane is grad
uate of the University of Texas and has
devoted a great deal of time to Ian
guages, for her parents believe that
both girls and boys should perfect
themselves in some line sufficiently to
make it a means of support if the ne
cessity arises.
Mrs Gregory was born at Helena,
Ark, but she has lived in Austin nearly
all of her life and when it was decided
to send her east to school Washington
was selected because of the nearness
of her Virginia relatives. She relates
some amusing "reminiscences regarding
her home state.
After my graduation" says Mrs.
Gregory. my parents took me for
whenever 1t was known that we came
from Texas we were regarded with
curiosity. for, you know. in those days.
not so many years ago either, Texas
was regarded as the worst place In the
world, except Arkansas. When 1t was
known that ! was born in one state
and lived in the other 1 was assumed
to be either a semi-savage or a des-
perado or even both.
Yes, 1t would have been dreadful
If 1t had not been SO absurd, and after
1 got over the first shock of it 1 began
to get lot of amusement out Of try
ing to live up to the parts assigned to
me. 1 even admitted to being an ex-
pert with a gun, when, as u matter OF
fact, 1 would have been frightened half
to death to touch one. But, worst OF
all, people even asked if Texans
lived in houses Think of it,"

said Representative Stanley
Helinger in a war discussion at the
Cleveland Republican Club. Their cul-
ture. though. reminds me Of the ham
sandwich.
"a messenger boy in a quick-Iunch
joint said reproachfully to the girl be-
hind the counter:
L. don't see no ham in this here

"'oh. you amt come to it yet,' said
the girl.
'The boy munched so1emnly on. Then
he said:

duty. She finds people the most inter-
esting study in the world and natural
ly. is energetic in all kinds of philan-
thropic work, especially the plans that
consider the welfare of children.
Though eligible to membership in
the Daughters Of the American Revo-
luton and the Daughters of the Con-
federacy. Mrs. Gregory does not belong
to either. Club life has never appealed
to her and she insists that it never
will, because she thinks she could not
take an active part, and she believes
that unless one can be of use in organi-
cations one should keep out of them.

and often it is a combination of colors
or furnishings that are a positive eye
sore. Unless one selects and arranges
the furniture and belongings around
the home it is not really home, for
there is no individuality or touch of
personality about it,
Mrs. Gregory dislikes formal enter
taining: she prefers the more simple
hospitality and believes that although
so much must be crowded into each
day. the exchange of social obligations
might be made to carry more of real
interest than that of mere perfunctory
