 It was much like a homecoming to him for he was shown into the vice presidential suite on his arrival there and slept in the same room and on the same bed he occupied for several years.
 While the vice president. Mr. l Charles Curtis, took himself off for 1 a series of family visits. his sister and brother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Everett Gam remained at the Mayhower, driving and walk ing, dining in simple places and meeting old friends. Mrs. Cams nimble fingers are never idle and, | like Mrs Hoover. she constantly | plies the needle. She has just sent | by parcel post to her two great nieces. Anne and Pamelia George, | three charming little wash dresses, every stitch of which she made. As soon as plans are completed she and Mir. Gam will leave Washing 1 ton for New York where busin oss calls him. and from there they will ! make a few visits and then go to Topeka. Kansas
