interna atiOnal-and doubtless does 1t
without the lecturing aspect. She
was sometime president of the Wom-
ans University Club here and later In
the year will talk to groups Of Repub-
lican women in the different States.
She expressed herself as being par
ticularly proud of the 300 young Re-
publican women who are giving such
valuable service in this State.
Mrs. Caraways Hobby
Is Collecting Republican Votes.
When Mrs. Caraway was asked II
she were related to Senator Hattie
Caraway OF Arkansas she said her
husband thought there was line Of
ancestry in common, and then she
told of delightful meeting they
had with the late Senator Caraway
were in Washington and, due to
crowded galleries. could not get
seat, so they sent their card in to
the Senator, who Immediately came
out and with his charming courtesy
arranged everything for them. He
and Mr.. Caraway decided they must
be related and congenial friendship
insued. BY the way, Mr.. CaraWay,
who is a retired financier, calls HIM
self a dirt farmer and raises chickens
and corn and vegetables on their beau
tiful. historic place, Glencara. Carmel,
up in Putnam County. N. Y. Mrs.
Ceraway remarked that they did not
raise potatoes or little pigs fearing
that the Secretary of .griculture
might spoil their crop. Glencara is
combination of Mrs. Caraways
Christian name, Glenrose. and her
husbands surname. She raises chick
ems and flowers. but when asked If
that we're her hobby and if she we're a
collector, she laughinely answered her
hobby was collecting Republican votes
and that she expected to perceptibly
enlarge her collection in 1888 and
40. Of course. she was elated over
the recent right of the women of the
State to do jury service and is quite
proud of the school for jury women
which is now organized in the club.
1t will be recalled that Mrs. Franklin
Delano Roosevelt, early in the past
Summer, announced she would join
such a school up in her county. Me-
thinks jury service for socialites in
this great metropolis will be very
inconvenient when they get locked
up with a knotty trial. Receptions,
dinners and debut parties will suffer.
Coolidge Memorial Library
Particularly Beautiful.
The handsome cluL house was built
BY the women of the party in 1881
and is ideally planned with its lounges,
spacious dining room, assembly hall,
reception rooms, library, and. believe
it or not a cocktail room Of gen.
erous proportions-the room-which
was not empty when visited. Men
as guests have the courtesy of the
dining room, bar and large lounge.
The 81 bed rooms are charming in
their comforts, and the color schemes
are chosen by the States which fur
nish them. The Coolidge Library, a
memorial to the late President, is
particularly beautiful with its panel
Ing and book shelves from floor to
ceiling-well-filled too-and large
portrait of Mr.. Coolidge over the
mantel The book plate used is
charming view of the Coolidge an
eestral home in the Vermont hills.
In the foreground of the picture are
the two dogs so beloved by the late
President. one of which appears in
the portrait of Mrs. Coolidge now
hanging in the Whit House.
