MRS. ROOSEVELT I
. APATHETIC To
PROSPECTS
BY DOROTHY DUCAS
Copyright, 1892, International
News SPrViCe)

NEW YORK, April 26 G.N.S0.
"Never meet a situation until
you come to it,"
This is the creed of Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt wife of the
governor of New York State, who
is one of the chief possibilities for
the Democratic nomination to the
Presidency.
While the country discusses at
length the chances of the RooSe-
Velt family being the next occu-
pants of the White House, Mrs.
Roosevelt goes about her own bust
ness, honestly oblivious to the
prospect of a great change in the
tenor of her ways. She said:
81 am planning for next winter
as did for this one. will be
gin the school year on October
/, as always, If my husband
should be nominated by chance,
it would be time enough to con-
slider what l would do"
For Mrs. Roosevelt is a teacher
at the Todhunter School here;
she has come down from Albany
for three days every week ever
since her husband became chief
executive of this State.
She also owns furniture fac
tory at Hyde Park, N. Y, which
a partner runs. She is on numer-
Gus club boards and speaks often
at educational gatherings.
Her life is so full, and has been
30 completely her own life that it
seems unbelievable she could ever
surrender it, even to be First Lady
of the Land.
Just One More Job
When Franklin D. Roosevelt
was made governor, there were
many who predicted she would
give up her various activities to
be hostess at the executive man.
sion in Albany. But no-she
merely added that job on to the
rest.
Honors and rewards make singu-
larly little impression on the dis
passionate, keen-Witted personal
1ty of Governor Roosevelt's wife.
She is a woman of rare intelli-
gence, unusually wide interests.
She is gentle, sympathetic, and
withal impersonal, somewhat de-
liberate. She knows what the
country is saying about her hus-
band, but she shuts out the talk
without any effort. Time enough
to think of it later.
