Children Attend Play
To get back to gifts again,
Mrs. Roosevelt said she kept her
Christmas lists for years back,
20 as not to duplicate. and that
she always tried to give people
something that was appropriate.
That already the packages are
being wrapped by herself and
her maid, in an upper room in
the Executive mansion, where
table has been placed for just
this purpose, and the closet in
the room is kept locked, no
doubt to keep out ''peekers."
The children, little Sistie and
Buzzie's rooms, are on this floor,
and who knows who might peek
Just a little.
These two delightful children
attended "Curdie, the Princess
and the COLLINS" the second
production to be given by The
Children'S Theater, at the Ma
tional Saturday, which is spon-
Sored by the Woman's Interna-
tional League. They were &C
eompanied by Mrs. Bonner
Roosevelt, and young Buzzie
viewed his first theatrical per-
Torrance from the vantage
point of his nurses knee, and
was most demonstrative in his
approval. Sistie, while equally
new at theater-going, showed
her enjoyment more quietly.
Mrs. Elton Fay, her. young
daughter, Barbara, and little
John Caswell Sd were also in
the party.
Mrs. Isabella Greenway, the
RepreSentative-elect from Ari-
xona, was present at the Con-
ference yesterday morning, look
ing very charming and business
like in a green uncut velvet
gown with a rough gray tweed
topcoat trimmed with fur and

was asked many questions rela-
tive to unemployment relief
measures in her State, and the
upshot of it was, consented to
give a press conference this
morning in her office at the
Capitol.

Ruth Bryan owens daughter is
one of the enthusiasts of fencing.
The ancient custom of sword rat
tling has been revived rather extern
siyely by the Florida Year Round
club, and she takes instruction
from County Frederick de Berg
who claims he can teach a woman
how to settle an argument in
pretty quick order. There's very
little hocus-pocus necessary IN the
outfit to be worn fer fencing, as
the padded shirt protector covers
it up anyway So that makes duck
shorts and a Isle sweater pretty
neat and sufficient After you're
good and swordy, you're in posi-
ton to pick arguments, enter other
peoples disputes and tweak noses
of traffic cops if you wish.
