PAYS QUIET AD|EU
Mrs. Lindbergh Taken on Pri-
vate Car to New York for
More Tributes.

AS quietly as she slipped into Wash.
ington Friday Mrs. Evangeline Lodge
Lindbergh departed for New York
early this morning. Accompanied by
her uncle, Acting Mayor of Detroit
Land, she left in private car at
tached to the 1910 Pennsylvania Rail
road train.
Only a few travellers and a group of
newspaper men saw her board the
train about 10 o'clock, escorted by
John Hays Hammond and Capt. Jerry
Dalton Of the Marine Corps, a White
House aide. She said goodbye to them
inside the car, and when the door
closed behind them Washington had
had it's last glimpse of the mother of
the flyer the country is acclaiming as
it's man of the hour.
Today in New York she again is
going through the ceremonies of ac'
claim that filled the two days she
spent here.
In a pouring rain. watched by only
a handful of people, Mrs. Lindbergh
left the temporary White House at
$50. She had said goodbye to her son
and to President and Mrs. Coolidge in
side, and she stepped straight into the
car in which she and Col. Lindbergh
had ridden in the triumphal procession
Saturday. Her escorts got in behind
her and the car drove away. Mrs.
Lindbergh wore the same travelling
costume she had on when she arrived
in Washington Friday.
Party Little Observed.
The car reached Union Station at
GAS. Unrecognized by most Of the
travellers, the party started for the
gate, but before it was reached a little
crowd had formed around them. Mrs
Lindbergh looked neither to the right
nor to the left, but walked rapidly
through the gate and down the plat
form to her car. Her escorts followed
her, but were outside again in a mo-
ment and the door was closed, leaving
her in seclusion at last.
Yesterday was almost as eventful
for the returned flyers mother as Sat
urday. 1t began simply, with break
fast alone for them in Mrs. Lind
bergh's sitting room. After breakfast
Mrs. Coolidge joined them and they
chatted for q while before meeting
the President in the drawing room tC
go to church.
AS the party stepped out of the
house a cheer went up from a crowd
that lined the sidewalks for nearly
block in every direction from the
residence. They had to pose fol
photographers and then the Presi-
dent won the heart of the crowd by
directing Col. Lindbergh and his
mother into the open car, taking the
limousine himself. All the way tc
the Metropolitan Theater people
stood on the sidewalks to see them
Then there was q quiet hour al
church, when the mother could give
thanks for the safe return Of her son
The days activities began at
o'clock when Col. Lindbergh and his
mother left for Arlington, where he
placed a wreath on the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. AS she watched
him perform this task tears came
into Mrs. Lindbergh's eyes.
At Walter Reed Hospital Mrs
Lindbergh became more important
even than her son. AS she stood or
the stand in the garden and later as
she passed through the hospital with
him a cry went up from the vet
Grams for Mother" Simply Moth
ar" She waved her hand and smiled
While she was on the stand Miss
Sallie Finney, member of the
Walter Reed staff and fiancee or ar
aviator who was killed recently, was
brought to her. Mrs. Lindbergh tool
her hand and spoke to her in low
voice.
Later she walked through the ware
containing the men who were too ii
to be moved and greeted the veterans
with waves of the hand and smiles
Most of the time she stood. by th'
door, leaving the honors to her son
but several> times she was caiied u
a bedside to shake the hand OF
soldier.
From the hospital Mrs. Lindbergf
and her son went to Boiling Field ant
there she saw the airplane which So
sturdily bore him across the Atlantic
to the fame which she was sharing
with him yesterday.
Finally at the Capitol, in the shadow
Of the great dome under Wnlch nei
husband worked for several years, sne
again heard his son acclaimed. Ihose
who saw her closely said that tears
came into her eyes more than once
during the ceremony. There were also
smiles of greeting to several friends
of those days whom she saw IN the
crowd.
1t began to rain before the services
there were over, but the rain could
not keep the crowd away from Dupont
Circle, and long before she and her
son returned the throng was awaiting
them. AS she stepped out of the car
and entered the temporary White
House Mrs. Lindbergh was given her
final ovation in Washington. When
she came out for theslast time, few
hours later, the storm had driven away
all but a few newspaper men and two
women who seemed determined to get
this last glimpse of this famous
mother.
