Beginning this beautiful and busy day
with breakfast at Senator Borah's,
Ishbel MacDonald-daughter Of Brit
aims Prime Minister-revealed her
''bubbling- g-over" side.
II had met her twice before, both
times in crowd, and thought her seri-
ous and little shy" said Mrs. Borah.
But meeting her in my own home, I
found her just bubbling over with en-
thusiasm about everything-quite de-
lightful!
1T was Just a cozy little family
breakfaSt-no guests. So we had q
chance for a comfortable visit. She
told me about her interest in her home
and her sister
"She told me how much she loves
Washington. and how thoroughly she
and her father are enjoying their visit
here, though they have scarcely min
ute to themselves! Lunch today at the
Canadian legation. tea at the Stimsons
and dinner at the British embassy.
Admires Cherry Blossoms.
"She said she had never seen any
thing so beautiful as the double pink
cherry blooms around Hains Point, and
that she could not have imagined such
perfect weather as they are having for
their VlSlC.
The picture Ishbel gave Mrs. Borah
OF her visit here was all rosy, but to
another friend she confided shed had
''only one disappointment"
Il was led to believe I was going to
find the White House full of romping
children, and I didn't see them," she
said
The English prime minister's daugh-
ter, who last night sampled that IA
nous informality, a Rooseveltian Sun
day supper of scrambled eggs, turned
again today to quite formal affairs.
1t appeared doubtful If she could
again see her new-found friends, the
Glouchester fishermen, II they come to
the White House.
Mrs. Roosevelt sent word to Repre-
sentative A. Piatt Andrew to invite
them there this afternoon, In exchange
for the rare hospitality she and Miss
Macdonald found on their boat Sun
day evening, when the presidential
yacht, Sequoia, came in to the wharf
from its historic sail down the Potomac,
and met up with the schooner from
Gloucester.
Tea Arouses Comment
The tea at Woodley' on the oticial
program aroused interested comment in
Washington, for Woodley is the home
of Henry L. StimSon. former Secretary
of State, and was center Of the impor-
tant international conversations of the
Hoover regime.
In spite of the fact that Stimson
and Macdonald had met officially many
times Washington had scarcely ex-
pected that the Democratic administra-
tion would share its distinguished guests
with any of their former hosts Of three
and half years ago.
However, the StimSon engagement
was treated quite as a matter OF course
by one Of the Roosevelt secretaries, Who
said:
Mr. Stimson wanted to see them
and they wanted to see him, and 50
they are going out there"
Mrs. Roosevelt, Miss Macdonald and
Lady Van Sittart of the Macdonald
party enjoyed a Sunday Of real recrea-
ton and of rest with no reminders Of
duties to be done, basking in the sun
aboard the Sequoia.
Occupy Upper Deck.
They occupied the upper deck while
President Roosevelt and Prime Minis
ter Macdonald were deep in their con-
versations on international affairs on
the deck below.
Active Ishbel Macdonald made the
most of the day. exploring even down
into the engine room with Presidents
wife so nimble she wouldn't let them
put out a gang plank for her to land,
but jumped to the wharf from the rail.
