BY HORTENsE SAUNDERS

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-If John w.
Davis is elected president of the
United States we will have for our
first lady a charming, gracious
woman who is slender and of me-
dunn height with blue-gray eyes,
small aristocratic features and light
chestnut colored hair sprinkled bit
with gray.
She has dignity that could easily
be austere at times, but it goes per-
fectly with her cool, blond type. Yet
she has an easy manner and a SIM
plicity that is most appealing.
1t is impossible to give a correct
impression of Mrs. Davis, seeing her
Just once and seeing her al this time
when, in spite of her happiness and
pride in her husbands achievement,
she is also depressed and sad on ac-
count of the death of her sister, Mrs.
Percy Golf, who died the second day
of the convention.
Proud of Husband
Mrs. Davis eyes filed with tears
instantly at the mention of this SIS
ter and revealed a very emotional
nature, capable of deep feeling and
devotion for those she loves.
''Of course I'm proud of my hus-
band" she exclaimed. "Who
wouldn't be? I feel right now just
as any woman in this country would
feel il her husband had just been
nominated for president"
"But you must have been sure all
along he would win l said.
This made her laugh. "Who could
have been sure of anything at this
convention" she asked. Naturally
[ did not attend any Of the sessions,
but L listened over the radio, and at
no time could l have made any
prophecies or representations"
Mrs Davis was married in 1912.
She has no children of her own, but
is devoted to Mr.. Davis daughter by
his first wife, Mrs. William Mcmillan
Adams, who lives in Denmark. She
and her husband had planned to sail
for England to attend the Bar asso-
citation in London and then to visit
her there.

to assure you that she would always
wear the right thing and look well
in all types of clothes. When l saw
her she was wearing a smartly
draped black satin gown and a small
black turban. She wore no jewels
but slender string of pearls and
one finger ring.
She has always interested herself
in society and philanthropy, but she
belongs to no clubs in New York,
where she has lived the last two
years. She is member of the Wom-
ans Democratic club, Of Washing
ton, however. She is an Episcopal
liam while her husband is a Presby-

the Episcopalian church together.
She never went to college, but re-
ceived her education at home.
While her husband was ambassa.
dor to the Court of st. James in
London during the war, she gained
an enviable reputa ton as a hostess.
She would fit easily and naturally
