First Lady Leaves Public Eye
But She's Still q CadabOuti

WASHINGTON Contrary to pub
lie opinion the busiest first lady of
the United States since Dolly Mad
ison has not lessened her activities.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt travels
as much, speaks as often and has
even more interests than in 1888
but the public is getting used to it.
A summary of her 1888 excur-
sions, for example, reveals she trav-
eled some $4,000 miles from coast
to coast, including several lecture
tours on which she made IS speeches
lis fewer than in 1887. But this in
dicates no lessening in her speech
making; the first lady may have
given more "off-the-record" infor-
NAL talks than the previous year.
A recent national poll showed
Mrs. Roosevelt is more popular than
her husband, fact attested to by
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1939-02-23

the rapid increase in her fan mail.
Last year she received 96, 423
pieces at the White House, 10000
of which were personal or social
and were answered either by her.

Thompson to whom she affection

Many precedent-shattering events
took place in her life during 1888.
Among them was the entertainment
of Crown Princess Louise of Sweden
at Hyde Park, when shot dogs"
were served on the lawn. Later she
introduced her husband to the Ma
tional Education association.
This summer she will have an
other huge task, that of being host

abeth of Great Britain during their
stay at the White House.
