L for the members of the press
was no end fun, as usual, but
one incident delighted our soul
and concerns the retort perfect
to q young lady who spoke q
bit out Of turn. One press gal
was wearing a smart white and
red frock, very becoming to her
dark hair, slim figure and
bright black eyes.
Just as this press gal neared
the steps another lady of the
press called loudly, "Oh, hello!"
Then looked at the smart white
and red dress and added, II
tried that very dress on yester-
day at a shop" The girl
in the white and red gave the
other girl q cool and level look
and then replied clearly and,
oh, so sweetly, what was the
matter, honey, couldn't you get
into it,"
DEN WEBSTER, who came
ID down from New York to
attend this same party. at the
White House, was chatting q
moment with the President and
during the course Of converse

know, Mr.. President, I am from
Maine and am q Republican"
