house in which to carry on the activt-
ties OF the position. She's slender.
dark eyed. dsrk-haired little person,
very we'll dressed. and incredibly
young to have a married daughter
and an almost-grown son.
AS for the house-that seems to be
the most pressing problem. Mrs.
Meredith Is putting in most OF her
mornings hunting, and while things
are not quite as bad as they were
during the war, still there is difficulty
in finding just what they want-a
house suitable for the Cabinet enter
tanning and yet with the air and
space-the ground around it-that
they are accustomed to.
When she had been here a few days
hrs. Meredith thought she had the
house question solved. She had
found just the right place-only It's
owner was in China! And now. after
they have been here two weeks,
though they have been cabling mad
ly, they are still unable to get in
touch with that elusive owner. So
while she waits, Mrs. Meredith is try
ing to find another that will do.
Meanwhile they remain at the Will
lard, hoping something will turn up.
And answering all questions as to
how she likes Washington to the
general effect that she likes 1t very
much indeed, as far as she's got!
Questions to Mrs. Baker were all

that all were well again except the

strain, bred at Leavenworth disciple
