was amused at how magazine writer failed to get a story about Mrs. Carpen- ter, for her publication. She said Mrs. Carpenter. I'm writing a series of articles on little known wives of we'll known men, Thank you" said Mrs. Car penter. That being the case I prefer to remain unknown" She had been around the world several times with her husband and justly felt that she ought to be credited with having a personality of her noted husband. Can you blame her?
 This but to lead up to the talented daughter. When I said to her, Miss Frances, want Mrs. Shipmar, our fa- nous Dolly Dalrymple, to meet you, so that the paper can carry story about plied q will be glad to meet her, but I've never been interviewed and I'll be scared to death"
 It was really home-like to hear father and daughter talk it over. He said: Frances, now that you are writing for magazines, I guess you ought to do it."
 "All right, dad" she answered Then, it all being settled, I'll ask Blackman, our artist, to make drawing of you" I said "Oh, no; that will never do," was her reply.
 I got date for Backman to sketch her father and told Walter to make one of her, which he did. The next day he brought it along with that of Frank S, and had it marked, Want page, col- umns." When she saw it and what was written on it, she came near fainting. One afternoon I met Senator Under wood in the lobby of the Tutwiler and told him that Frank Carpenter had ex- pressed wish to see him and that I would go up and get him. Don't trou- ble," said Oscar, '1'll just run up with you"
 Up we went, and soon they were hav- ing heart to heart talk. The great writer won the statesman's good will by praisng the Birmingham district You would have thought they had known one another for years.
 In the next<room sat Dolly and Miss Frances. The latter bolted the door. She didn't want any men to hear her go through. her first interview. She wanted to be alone. It amused us no little.
 Was she really scared? Ask Dolly. Mrs Shipman said: 'Mr. Barnett, had the time of my life to get her to talk about herself. She was voluble about her father, but dumb as an oyster about herself. Do you know, she's the first real sure -enough-to- goodness timid woman I ever met, and yet she is un- usually attractive, winsome and clever"
 She wouldn't stand for the drawing. but permitted Mrs. Shipman to use the Home Journal, showing her with the pair of thousand foxes.
 Perhaps Pm invading the privacy of the genial father and lovely daughter in giv- ing those intimate glimpses of them when they were off guard, but I believe they will forgive me when they know it's done to let the public see the camaraderie that exists between the two on their trips around the world.
 
 I've been asked so much if Miss Frances was the only child, that I merely state to satisfy those interested that MT. Car penter has a son who is making good in the legal profession in Chicago as a patent lawyer.
 papers reaching from Boston to Cali fornia. He has weekly audience of about 100000.
 He can't walk the streets of any Ameri- can city without being stopped again and again when it's known that he is Frank Carpenter.
 Going into the Tutwiler the newswom- an at the Twentieth street entrance said: Buy a paper from me, MT. Carpenter "Can you beat it?" said he, and he bought one. If you want to keep in touch with him subscribe for The Sunday Age Herald
