BY MARY CAMBRIDGE
ASSOCIATED Press Staff Writer)

Palo Alto, Calf. Nov. Up -
When Mrs. Lou Henry Hoover hears
the crowds cheering her husband as
the next president Of the United
States she takes 1t serenely.. for she
is d woman with a completely OF
background that amazes her friends
and gives her an air of calm in al
most any situation.
Medium Height
She is of medium height, about
5 feet 6 inches. but with her erect
slenderness appears taller. Her
soft white hair. parted in the middle
and drawn down to a fat knot at
the nape of her neck, setting off as
it does the broad forehead and wide
apart. clear gray eyes. does much
TO emphasize the air of quiet dignity
that is her outstanding characteris-
tic.
Gifted Hostess
She is especially gifted as a
hostess, and has that special sixth
sense" that sees which guests be-
long together and will interest each
other. Without any apparent effort
she can give each guest in the tiled
terrace above the garden In Palo
Alto or in the wide back porch I'M
der the trees of Washington the
feeling of having had her particular
attention. At the same time she
can shift them about until all are in
congenial groups without realizing
how they got there.
Few people know that by the per-
sonal training OF her father. the
late Charles D. Henry. bank cashier
of Waterloo. Iowa. and Whittier

a position as a bank cashier. book
keeper or teller. Through her uni
versity training she is also a geolo-
gist. and could be teacher of
geology. metallurgy or English. She
is. in addition. widely read. Her
taste for literature was in her stu
dent days a. Stanford university, AS
much as her geology, one of the
common interests that brou9 ht about
her romance with Herbert Hoover
1t enabled her to help him through
the pitfalls of his English exanina-
tons. The further help she gave
him as co-translator from the
Latin Of Georgius Agricola's de re
Matallica is already famous.
Marries Hoover
In spite of this classical training
q her full equipment for a pro-
fessional career, Lou Henry was
married almost Immediately after
graduation, for her young engineer
fiance had three years start and
was already well launched In his
profession when he came home from
Australia on his first vacation in
1898 to marry her and take her back
to China.
Since then. his career has been
hers. She has walked beside him
through the years of peace and war,
revolution, famine and ceaseless
work to ultimate success with the
same happy helpfulness that she give
him as a fellow student. and with

Two Girls for
Bill
BY H. LOUIS RAYBOLD
/
(Copyright.)

(Copyright.)
XXZH.LIAM BRONSON, ordinarily
w known as Bill, had been brought
up by two loving but slightly over
| Jealous aunts.
But now William had ontgrown
schooling. Not that he was particular
~ well educated, although he could
man when it came to intellectual dis
cnssions and that sort of thing. What
I mean is that the problems which
now kept his devoted Aunt Elizabeth
and devoted Aunt Louise awake at
nights were somewhat more complex.
And the most difficult of all to settle
was just where there was to be found
in the whole OF Tolland county. or for
that matter in the entire state itself,
a girl suitable for their nephew to
marry.
Now, ordinarily, these two good
women got together on anything which
concerned the boy of whom they were
both equally fond, but at the time this
story starts, Aunt Elizabeth was en-
! gagged on a little scheme of her own.
After all, there was nothing very
dreadful about Aunt Elizabeth's little
conspiracy. 1t had come to her atten-
ton that the daughter of an old friend,
room In the next town; that she was
considered a very capable young woman
and that she was anxious to get in
touch with her mothers old friend.
Therefore, without saying anything
to anybody, she drove over to the tea
room and made herself known to the
brisk young lady whom she met there
and who proved second edition of
her charming friend.
"And We'll expect you to supper
next Tuesday, dear child" were her
last words, as she resolved that Bill
should be home that night to receive
the girl.
Now it is impossible to live all your
life with person and not get wise
when there Is something in the air
Tuesday morning Aunt Louise knew
at the very instant that her sister
rose half an hour earlier than was
her custom that something was afoot
And when she saw that preparations
for certain special dishes were under
way she put two and two together and
got wrong answer. She figured that
her sister was going to ask favor of
Bill and was planning to approach
him, as from time immemorial it has
been customary to approach man,
through his appetite.
It gave Louise an idea, however.
Why not kill two birds with one
stone? There was that nice little
librarian she had been planning to
have Bill bring to supper some night
and what better night than one on
which her sister was getting up
specially attractive menu? She could
return a book to the library and make
the invitation appear casual enough.
Bill was, as 1t happened, reclining
in the couch hammock on the porch
With half 9 dozen applss and p book

on exploration. when his Aunt Louise
came up the path and went into the
house by side door. Nor Is 1t reas-
enable to expect him to get up and
walk away when he begins to over
hear a conversation between the two
women who have been second mothers
to him. In the first place. SO seldom
was there anything said between
them that he was not quite welcome
to Overfiear, that such an idea would
not have occurred to him. Only when
he heard the strained tones Of his
Aunt Elizabeth did he become aware
that something was going on.
'But, Louise, ! have already invited

Louise coldly. swell, It was with

ager. guess our nephew can make
his own way without marrying wom-
an that would probably want to keep
on working and leave her children to
manage anyhow and not half run her
house"
1t was at this point that Bill woke
up to the fact that his future wife
was the cause of the whole trouble.
He griHned all by himself out there
ON the porch. Then he rose slowly.
II guess" he said, this will be as
good time as any to break the
news But first he stole upstairs to
the telephone in his little study.
Ten minutes later he came down
stairs to find two dignifled women
setting the table for five places and
not speaking to each other.
Il say, Aunt Lou and Aunt Bess,"
he said gently. 'Set another place
there. will you? I've invited some
body to supper myself--a-a friend
of mine. Want you to give her the
once-over, and If she meets your ap-
proval, she's going to be Mrs. BILL"
''William!" the cutlery came from
them both.
YES, sir,' said Bill. "She's Janet

Elizabeth.

Louise.
