q real tribute to the man W
Being the son or daughter OF
the nominee for President Of the
United States is always o tough
lob, but especially so II you are
rather pretty and pose well for
photographers.
SO far Peggy Ann has done
very well indeed.
Because Of the fact that her
mother died when she was .
baby, Peggy Anne was hor faith
cr's chief attachment for twelve
years. There Is . very strong
bond between them. All her life
she has travelled around the oil
fields with him, and she accom-
panied him on some Of his state
political campaigns. So her
present rear-pfatfor1n appear
ances are not mere affection.
They are, however, good politics.
Roosevelt used the same politics
In 1882, when his sweet and quiet
daughter law, Mrs. James
Roosevelt, accompanied him on
his tour through the west. She
made the same sort Of favorable
impression that Peggy Anne Is now
making.
Typical Prairie Girl
Peggy Anne Is nineteen years
old and htere Is nothing very
unusual about her. Some OF her
classmates call her a typical
prairie girl from o typical prairie
state" She Is an average, we'll
behaved coed who enjoys the
company Of both boys and girls
and never puts on airs because
her father Is the governor Of
Kansas.
At Topeka high school, which
! she attended except for one year
at o boarding school, she belonged
to the Good Reading club, was q
Pepperette (niember OF u pep Or
ganizatiof1) and acted as proctor
during study hall hours. She is
not a very brilliant student, in
fact has never done particularly
well In her studies.
Peggy Anne likes 10 60 out with
boys her own age, and while q
junior In hig hschool went with
Howard Cook, son Of q prominent
Topeka dentist. At present she
Is going with Hazelett Seiger,
whose father Is an attorney for
the Kansas Cooperation commits
sion. He Is q Phi Gamma Gov.
Landon's fraternity at Kansas
university.
Just Like That
Returning to Topeka from Estes
Park for the acceptance speech
this summer, Peggy Anne tele-
phoned Hazelett Steiger. He
asked her what che was doing
that evening, to which she re-
piled: Having q date with you,
I suppose"
Up until recently Peggy Anne
always was required to he home
from her dates at midnight, and
the governor was up waiting for
her. Usually, however, Peggy is
at home and In bed around ten
o'clock every evening.
Her father seems to lay down no
definite rules for her behavior at
present. When the newspaper
men ask him whether Peggy Anne
will do this or that, he usually
replies: "You'd betetr ask Peggy
Anne. don't know what her plans
are"
Entered X. u.
The neighbors In Topeka all ex-
pected Peggy Anne TO attend
WaShburn College, right In the
homo town. Her stepmother went
there and Is now one OF its trus-
tees. But perhaps because her
father went to Kansas university,
Peggy chose to enter there also.
X. U. Ia 10 miles away at Law
renee, and Peggy Anne comes
home almost every week end
while school is In session, some
times even during the middle Of
the week.
In fact. Peggy Anne seems TO
be something OF O home girl,
and gets o big kick out OF Nancy
Joe and Jack, her small half-sis-
ter and brother. Coming around
the corner Of the Landon summer
place at Estes Park, you are Just
as likely as not TO run into Peggy
Anne with Jack perched upon her
shoulder yelling, "Giddyap hor.
.sey"l while Nancy 10 squeals for
her turn.
One Of the stories Peggy told
her college friends last summer
was that the family's chief bag
gage while en- route for the Nc
Qraw ranch was On assortment Of
rabbits, chickens, dogs and o pony.
I'VE have everything but the
bird cage" she said, land we'll
probably send back for that"
Stepmother
The relationship between Peggy
Anne and her stepnother seems Ia
DO very good. It Is evident that
Mrs. Landon does not try to boss
her, and Peggy Anne In turn seems
genuinely fond Of Mrs. Landon.
Peggy Anne Is . moderately
good rider, likes to swim and
dance ana IL Q good dancer.
