Mrs. Dey presided with grace and

quite overcame me to be introduced

worldD. After category of the things

pected to do anything but rise and
bow, as the others who we're intro

called Robert Burdette, of the Burling-

author of "Pollyanna' and other

Atherton- If the Californtans were to
read Mrs. Wells report Of Gertrude
Atherton's speech they would get a
dreadful jolt because they boast OF
her in much the same tone OF voice
which they use in speaking of the eli.
mate of California.
She said she thought California a
wonderful place to be born in and to
die in. but that she would rather beg
in the streets Of New York than live
away from here. She has lived in New
York and abroad. the gerater part OF
her life. and she says she could be
happy in New York land not care a
d whether she knew a soul or
not" But she Is glad to have been
born in California. There is a certain
inspiration and independence about
the west. She said. 40, when l go
back there and people ask, Aren't you
glad you're back?' l answer as they
want me to. and say. I'm glad I'm
back, but miss the things get here.
New York is the great magnet. Here
there is so much to see and do and
learn that you cans get away from It. ~
She said. Il don't think people in
other states have sufficiently de-

! here"
Mrs. Wells has been much enter
tanned in New York and has put in
every day in about as busy a manner
as she does in Burlington and that is
saying something.
