Mrs. Eaton
With
OnHis Trip

Mrs. Walter Pritchard Eaton.
wife Of the widely-read author
who stopped off In Salem yester-
day, was found to be quite as in.
teresting as her husband. In the
afternoon in company with Mr..
Eaton, and Fred II. Kiser of the
Kiser studio Of Portland, Mrs.
Eaton was given an opportunity
Of seeing the city and a bit Of
adjacent territory by motor, an
opportunity which she made the
most OF, later expressing her de-
light over Salem and its remark
able showing Of roses.
Associated by the reading pub
lie as the heroine of many Of her
husbands books Mrs. Eaton was
questioned as to the accuracy of
this. "No, indeed no." she replied
laughing, and then she qualified
1t bit; THAT is, not directly. /
may have lent some unconscious
Influence, but that was all.
Asked il she aided Mr.. Eaton in
any way In his literary activities
she said, why, yes, do all his
typewriting, and ! can say that
that is quite colossal task"
In appearance Mrs. Eaton is
sufficiently attractive to figure as
the central character of novel.
Small, blond, delicate-featured
she impresses one with her es-
sential feminine charm. She,
like her husband Is a lover of
boys, and not having any Of her
own, finds an opportunity to play
the part Of mother to one-hundred
boys in the prep" school that
adjoins the Eaton estate which
comprises two hundred acres In
the heart Of the beautiful Berk-
shire hills.
Here the couple finds much en-
joynlent in their garden, which
Mrs. Eaton explained displayed
the ia ginal plan of landscape
architecture worked out by Mr..
Eaton. In the winter time gard
ening being out OF the question,
Mr. Eaton conducts classes In
Journalism at Columbia Uni
yersity.
Boy Scout work, Mrs. Eaton
said in reply to question, was
taken up by Mr.. Eaton upon
the persuasion Of an eminent
doctor in Stockbridge, Mass. Mr..
Eaton is more universally known
as dramatic critic, his writings
concerning the theater and pres
ent-day drama taking rank in
contemporary literature.
The present trip of the Eatons
was In response TO an insistent
demand on the part Of Mr.. Eaton's
publishers, who are asking for a
book similar to the Glacier Nation
al Park book, which has met with
tremenduous popularity. 1t is
Mrs. Eaton's belief that when the
book is brought out, 1t will, like
Its predecessor, find a wide cir
culation as school text book, in
which instance Oregon will re-
ceive considerable worth while
advertising.
Mrs. Eaton is accompanying her
husband on his entire trip
through Oregon. They expect to
reach their home by the middle
OF August.
