Ironing machines and, of course, cleo

dreamed of only a few years back!

ing that he or any other in official
roSition had characterized the 70-year-

Mead's engagement had been can.
caled because of protests by the

Mrs Mead came from various quar-
ters. DR. D. P. McGeachy, pastor Of
the Decatur Presbyterian Church,
who arranged for Mrs. Mead's en-
eagenent, described her as IAN
earnest Christian woman and no

back at the first interviewer Of q
President with sincere envy. The first
Presidential statement made to 4
newspaper reporter came from the

John Quincy Adams clothes on shore
and listened to what the bather, clad
only In river water and dismay, had
to say. There were no "ah's' and
"oh's." Whenever she failed to grasp
the sense of remark, she demanded
an explanation. And the President
clarified 1t nobly. The story is told
entertainingly in "Seventy-five Years
of White House Gossip" by Edna NJ.
Colman.

Of questions which formally have been

that one statement he made a few
weeks ago was interpreted as Eyes,
by half of the reporters, and as mo-
by the other half.
Nothing like that went with Anne
Royal, woman Of many summers.
She wanted the Presidents idea about
the state bank question. Every morn

the Potomac for a swim. Bathing
suits were not yet in fashion. She
