platform to receive her guests, through
the rollicking days of Dolly Madison and
on down to today when gracious Mrs.

guests, even at State functions, to meet

invited dignitaries, instead Of merely
catching glimpse of them in the bl,a

6AAAkEt W L.
The President and Mrs. Hoover are
spending the week end at the White
House instead of making the usual trip
to Rapidan Camp, and just now from
the south front balcony the view is un-
surpassed. While ruthless storms have
laid low many of the historic trees
planted there by the earlier Presidents,
there still stand stately oaks, elms and
other long-lifed trees that date back
almost q century.
There will be a perfect wealth Of
Autumn flowers in the gardens on
either side of the south balcony and
almost every one of the 500 varieties
of birds in the District seem to have
found their way to the broad lawn.
But few bird houses are needed, as the
feathered pets are safe and free in the
forest trees, while it is not unusual
TO see half score Of birds at one time
ranged along the rim of the big foun-
tain at the lower end of the grounds.
With the election not far distant the
public mind naturally turns to the
White House and its occupants. and
it is with pleasure that one reads in a
current magazine the story Of the life
of Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge In the man.
sion, fresh from the pen Of Miss Mary
IvIa rr,I14 hnetIar hniry %oY Y-xr
to Mrs. Coolidge, was also a personal
friend. The story as told by Miss Ran
dolph is easily written and eagerly read
and runs on with grace and ease. There
who have followed the trend of things
there during the Coolidge administra-
tions, but one reads it with as much
avidity as though it were written for
the first time
President Coolidge himself has an in
teresting story in the same magazine
about books for boys and outlining the
way his reading was planned by his
staid forbears. But the third story
IN the same magazine is far more dar-
ing and essays to set forth the requi-
sites for making a perfect mistress for
the White House. No study Of char
acter could be more diversified than
that of the former First Ladies in the
Land, each woman standing for some
thing strong and good and which leaves
the mark of her personality on t:A
mansion and in the minds of the
people.
One reads in this narrative that a
First Lady should not drive her own
car Mrs. Hoover does this on occa-
sion, and it further relates that eating
peanuts at circus should be taboo by
a Presidents wife. Washington society
has seen such a fete performed with
perfect good taste, with no critics by
to pass comment. Following the old
saw, when in Rome" etc, at least
one mistress of the White House ate
peanuts at circus and enjoyed them
quite as much as did her juvenile guests.
There Is no set pattern for Presi-
dents wife, any more than there is for
a President, and whether Mrs. Hoover
remains In the White House and pre-
sides with the feuItless taste she has
always exercised, or Mrs. Roosevelt
comes In onto her-an unbroken path
1t LIS all the same to those who enter
there as guests. They accept the Ma
tons hostess in q dignined. gracious
Evening star., 1932-09-11

The strictly official duties Of Presi-
dents wife are laid down for her and
she only has to ask questions and heed
counsel to perform her duties is unques-
toned manner. The most delicate fete
of all is to introduce an innovation, and
that was pointedly shown when at one
Of Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt's afternoon
receptions, after her secretary decreed
that no one should sit in the presence
of the Presidents wife, a plan made
perhaps as much to gain additional
space in the reception room as anything
else, Southern Senator's wife found a
chair nearby and proceeded to take a
seat. She was told by an attendant,
so the story runs, that she must stand
while In the presence Of the Presidents
wife. The dear old lady, who had spent
many years in Washington without
knowing Of such rule, arose and hob
bled out Of the mansion on her cane,
declaring she would never again enter
its doors.

WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass, August 10.
Henry Kittredge Norton, writer on
| world affairs, declared at the Institute
of Politics today that permanent recov-
cry for the United States depends upon
remuneration of the world market for
more intense cultivation of the domes-
tic market"
1T Is idle for us to pursue further
the will-o'- -the-wisp of the world mar
ket," he said. Capitalism" he con-
tinued, will raise the standard of liv-
ing in the United States and increase
profits as soon as we realize that we can
dispose of our products only among
the masses of our own people"
They cannot be distributed abroad
Norton indicated, for the same reason
that we cannot allow distribution Of
foreign products here. Each nation has
its own products to sell, and while each
completes in the world market, its own
population is left hungry in the midst
, of plenty, he averred.
George Sokolsky, for many years edi-
tor of the Far Eastern Review in China
, said the question was not whether the
United States should pursue a policy OF
! isolation or of cooperation.
America, he said, will be a nuisance
| in world affairs until she ''pursues a
specific policy over a reasonable period
understandable by the American people
and related to the realities of the eco
| nomic conditions in the United States.
Prof. B. H. williams Of the University
of Pittsburgh saw the American foreign
policy tending toward further co-opera-
| ton with the League of Nations, and
predicted that within short time this
country will be member in fact, If not

with respect to identity OF the special

unanimous about one thing.

clad admiral as they parted. i learned
