RED GALLUSES
BY HELEN ESSARY

Miss, that we are bosom friends
Of the White House and that
we have the privileges Of the
floor Of the Senate and the
House. However, from time to
time we do hear personal bits
about the Very Great.
For instance, President RooSe-
welt likes his secretariat to dress
well. And enjoys talking quite
out loud about their apparel.
Just before Mr.. Roosevelt be-
gan his press conference the
other day he called the atten-
ton of ''the front row" of news
paper men to the new pongee
silk suit Marvin Mcintyre was
wearing. He also mentioned
Colonel McIntyre'S glowing neck
tie.
The President said that Mac
must remind everybody Of the
notice in the theater programs:
what the Well Dressed Man
Should Wear" And to have
look at the Colonel! Everybody
looked and admired.
Then somebody said in that
informal way typical Of RooSe-
Veltian press conferences:
"That white suit Of your own,
Mr.. President, looks like 1t
might have come from Hawaii.
Maybe it's a leftover from
your trip last year"
At this point we wish we
could quote the President di-
rectly. But we can't. That's
treason.
The President did intimate,
however. that his suit did not
come from Hawaii. It was
made of Texas goat hair, a
fabric which his friend, Vice
President Garner, recommends.
A voice in the journalistic
crowd murmured something
about another variety OF
"Hoover's hair shirt"
And that was that.
Not long ago at Hyde Park,
the President mentioned to his
press audience that at about
the time Of the Inauguration
Marvin Mcintyre had bought a
biz new wardrobe. Morning
clothes evening clothes, bust"
ness suits and the rest. Colo
mel Mcintyre blushed ana
grinned. Whereupon the Presl'
dent demanded that Louis howe
be sent for at once.
Colonel Howe came In wear"
ing an obviously new suit.
The President made a grand
beaming gesture. Said ne
wanted everybody to look well
At Louis new suit. For in "a
hours they would think ne nao
slept in it.
Colonel Howe was not emoar-
raised. He said:
"YOu forgot, Mr.. President,
TO mention my new socks and
my new necktie."
The President laughed hard
and said that Louis over
Whelmed him.
When Governor Eugene Tai
madge called unexpectedly AZ
the White House the other Gay,
two newspaper correspondents
met him and said:
! "How do you do. GOVERNOR"
+ The governor said quickly:
"Who are you? How do you
know who I am?"
"That's easy. You are the
governor of Georgia. We can
see your bright red galluSes
showing through your palm
beach suit"
Next to Kingfish Long. GOV.
ernor Talmadge is the !eadlng
Democratic volcano. This Time
he didn't explode.
AS he left the White House
the governor asked Tor fraaH
Mel aughlin, the White House
police officer, former amateur
wrestler and one OF the 1lnesE-
looking fellows in uniform In
Washington. Also a Georgian.
Mel aughlin was off duty. Inc
governor sent his regards ana
said:
"Just say Gene TaImadge In
quired for him." os
Louisa G.. is very annoyed
that she had her family IN the
late Victorian era.
Raising babies is no trouble
At all now, she says. Milk pre-
pared by formula at a la6ora,
forv is delivered in sterlllzed
hotties each day at the door OF
I,ouisa's neighbor, a young
Spinach, carrots, ETC., are
cooked and strained sclentlt-
ically in a diet kitchen. And
can be uncorked with the twist
Of a can opener.
But this is the modern tri'
umph that so inks Louisa's soul:
Fresh baby linen is delivered
daily to the young mother by
a towel service supply company!
At the age of two, continues
Louisa bitterly, the dear little
thing car be plunked into a
