guests at the Rhinesold cycle of operas which began at 4 o'clock in the after. noon, with an hour interval for din. ner.i Mrs. Hoover was always there for the first act and to see her xuests to the dinner table at the Hotel Savoy ; then she disappeared, to return at the rise of the curtain. Her guests were curious, but no one asked why. It was Mtry Austin, the novelist, who let the cat oLt of the bag. She couldn't resist the novelist's delight in telling good story. Here was this swell-dressed, mil lionaire's wife slipping home between the acts of the opera {; what for? To hear her children say their prayers.
 London Was Aloof
 Out of respect for her husbands Quaker taste, Mrs. Hoover dresses quietly, At that time she wore no jewels, but she finally appeared in some beautiful pearls. But she bars -dia- monds.
 The Hoovers weren't particularly successful socially in London. Mir. Hoover thought London society snob. bish and his Quaker spirit rebelled at the formalities of dress and behaviour. It was a long time before he would submit to a silk hat, which, of course, is strictly prescribed. He never lost the look of resentment at being thus crowned and his hat never looked at home on his head.
 Hfebert Hoover couldn't get over his American habit of putting his hands in his pockets and jingling whatever he found there, and aM London can testify that they were never empty.
 Social success lies largely in choosing your guests. You can't mix pickles and pie. Mrs. Hoover could always get interesting people to her dinners, but she had such sympathy for the for lorn and overlooked, who knew not even the near-great, that she weighted her invitation list rather heavily with these. They liked meeting celebrities, but the distinguished guests weren't al- ways so enthusiastic about the dull company.
 It wasn't till the Belgian Relief brought out Mir. Hoover's real quali- ties that they got into London society. Even when the last slip-rail was taken down in London they found fence across Park avenue. New York. There are so many people who would never be caught afoot south of Fifty-ninth street. who went about enquiring "Who are the Hoover's, anywayH
 The Hoovers have always fared well ill the press. They might have done better for themselves socially if they had known how. But they didn't care

 ., Be it resolved by the undersigned citizens of the Tennessee Valley that Alabama has presented to the national democratic party as its candidate for President, Oscar w.

Dinsmore, neither of whom is in reality a candidate for the presidency in the national democratic convention nor has either any qualifi. cation for that office. Both of these are only seeking to name the delega- ton from Alabama. l.. B. Musgrove, Is opposing Senator Underwood with the further idea of gratifying spirit Of revenge, spite and personal hatred a Join With Crumpton
 s.We heartily join with the beloved President of the Anti-Sallon league of Alabama, the Rev. Dr. W. E. Crump- ton, in our endorsement of Senator Underwoods stand for the rigid en- forcemept of the prohibition laws. The people of Alabama want Henry Ford at Muscle Shoals. The men in the Tennessee Valley and in Washington, who are fighting for the Ford offer say that in getting the Ford offer ,ac- cepted by Congress, Senator Under wood has advised and directed in every important step. His powerful influence III Congress constitutes the greatest oulwark for the acceptance of the Ford offer. We must look to Under wood to carry the Ford proposition through the Senate.
 We citizens of the Tennessee Val ey earnestly warn the people of middle md south Alabama that failure to give Underwood an overwhelming majority vould~be immediately pleaded by the 'nemies of Ford at Washington as Il equalization of the Ford offer.
 As patriotic Alabamians who feel q real pride in our state, we call upon uur fellow citizens in all of the coun- es to- lay aside petty differences, for ct personal animosities, and as a mat 1T of state pride, join themselves togeth- r to the end that the great Alabamian rho was the democratic leader in both he House of Representatives and the hational Senate shall be president of the United States"

a rap Original ideas were suspect and things unconventional were awfully dangerous.
 Suffrage was not co,natenanced by Mrs. Hoover, after Herbert had com mitted himself openly to the principle. In fact, when Anne Maftin, an old col lese chum, joined Alice Paul's organisa- tion in Washington, it made per manent breach between them.
 The two Hoover sons are following the outdoor trail and even in the midst of their wartime activities Saturday was for the boys and the wilds. And sometimes Bertie was drassed away from his desk to join, in the expedition.
 "She's better than most men in a camp and she isn't afraid of things that crawl" was. the tribute from one small son.
 There has always been Hooverfzine in the Hoover home and it wasn't q war time innovation. They all did it, Bertie, the background, and the boys.
