likes to use it. She also has a keen
interest in the country which she Is
going to adopt and at the Capitol
she stops to examine the paintings on
the walls and the busts in their inches,
which somewhat distresses her ac-
companying press representatives, what
with Miss Bradna already being half
an hour late for an appointment with
Vice President Garner.
And there Is real pride in Olympe's
voice as she tells the Vice President she
has taken out her first citizenship
papers, more pride beaming in her
face when he tells her he is sure she
will make a fine citizen. Then, after
many photographs and introductions
to Postmaster General Farley and a

no more like movie star than do you

while, though, and watch her take
personal appearances, dignitaries, the
press and autograph seekers in her
stride, watch her stand in the Carlton
