glorious thing ever carved by a
sculptor. Sara Roosevelt heartily
agrees with this. When she saw the
original in Paris, she said, she could
hardly leave it, and when she left
France, the directors of the Louvre
presented her with this model OF it.
She shook her head sadly at the
mention of Paris today, under the
German heel, and then spoke with
admiration of the British peoples.
Character does count" she said,

Bust in Entrance Hall.
Sara DelanO married James
Roosevelt, the Presidents father,
when she was 26 and he so. They
lived together 20 years-20 years
which Mrs. Roosevelt describes as
"idyllic." Her husband died when
young Franklin was a freshman at
Harvard. Since then, she has lived
at Hyde Park, and watched the
growing up of five grandchildren
and the infancy of 10 great-grand-
children, and has seen the great
career of the son who, with such
gallantry and good humor, came out
of the valley of the shadow of in
fantile paralysis to become President
of the great Republic for three sue
cessive terms. 1t is no wonder that
this house at Hyde Park is one of
the most interesting homes on our
continent.
In the entrance hall of the house
there is a bronze bust of the Presi-
dent. done when he became a State
Senator in 1911. Just off the hall
there are two small studies. One
is Mr.. Roosevelts. The little room
is so packed that there is barely
room to sit. The other is his
mothers, and she took me there
just before I left.
This is the room of confusion" +"
said Mrs. Roosevelt, and certainly
the tables and writing desk were
Uttered with papers and letters and
half opened parcels. II don't like
to have a full-time secretary;
like to write my own letters" A

little askew. But on one table there
are signed photographs of King
George and Queen Elizabeth of
England, and on another a signed
photograph of Queen Mother Mary,
another great and unpretentious
woman.
I'VE had a grand time when the
King and Queen we're here" said
Mrs. Roosevelt. Il know the Queen
loved it. There were tears in her
eyes when she left. She is a grand
little woman, and we loved her"
And the King?"
Mrs. Roosevelt laughed.
"I'll always remember the first
thing he said when he got here.
They had been visiting the worlds
fair and they arrived here very
tired. l asked the King what ne
thought of the fair. Marvellous he
said, but they didn't give me any
tea!' He was like hungry boy.
So we had tea right here, out Of this
same teapot"
Once Lived in Hong Kong.
She poured tea from a handsome
George III service. China tea. Mrs.
Roosevelt's father, Warren Delano
II, was wealthy merchant OF China
tea, and for years the family lived
in Hong Kong.
You know" said the great lady,
"the young people today have ad-
ventures, but I doubt If they've had
adventures like mine. When I was
8 years old, my mother took me and
my six brothers and sisters to join
my father in Hong Kong. We went
round the Horn on one of the famous
China clippers, the Surprise. 1t
took us 11O days!"
We sat under portrait of Isaac
Roosevelt, the Presidents great

of George Washington.

drawing room Is not large, and
not even very interesting. 1t is a
room of cretonne coverings and
Dresden china and white marble
fireplace.
THE library is literally the living
room in this house." said the Presi-
dents mother.
The Presidents bedroom, on the
second floor, looks out over the
Hudson River. 1t is a very simple
room, small. plain, with a heavy
bed and a dressing table and little
more. There is a decrepit old chair
that has been patched up more than
once. Over the dressing table is
a picture of little dog saying to a
bee, I'm no sunf1ower."
Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelts bed
room, opening on the Presidents,
is just as simple. The furniture
might be from any American home.
There are only two guest suites,
very plain and comfortable, with
f1owered wallpaper and all. I'm
sure these are the simplest rooms
the King and Queen of England
ever slept in on a formal visit.
I asked Mrs. Sara Roosevelt when
she first came to this house.

of life. Why, have relations who
will hardly speak to us because my
son is a traitor to his class! A
traitor to his class I glory in the
dislike of anybody who can say that.
My son has no class but America" +"
When I heard her say this, ! knew
where Franklin Roosevelt got much
of his greatness and why 25,000, 900
voters had decided that here was
the man. the first in history who
should have third term as Presi-
dent of the United States and this
at time when the Nation is on the
edge of tremendous and dangerous
days.
In the Roosevelt country home
called Hyde Park, on the Hudson
River, near Poughkeepsie, 70 miles
upstate from New York City, the
President and his wife and his
mother and two of his sons we're
having late supper after midnight
of the great day, and I had had
the pleasure of being with them
then. But on the previous Sunday
I had spent the afternoon there
with Mrs. Sara Roosevelt and she
had given me some fascinating
glimpses of her sons great life and
her own.
Hyde Park is handsome, honey,
comfortable late Georgian house in
a river valley which is one of the
most beautiful in the United States.
The King of England's country
home, Windsor Castle, is one of the
most imposing piles on earth. The
country home of President Roose-
Velt, who is chief of state OF $780,
600 900 people, is more like the coun-
try home of a prosperous English
squire. And it is one of the most
lived-in houses you can imagine.
1t is positively worn into shape, and
into comfort, and is cluttered with
furniture of all styles and all pc
riods.
It's nice, though" said Sara
Roosevelt. Its home, not show
place"
She Owns the House.
The big library where I spent
most OF that afternoon is part of
the true Americana. and it will be
a showplace for future generations
of Americans. Mrs. Sara Roosevelt
owns the house, and 1 believe it
will some Gay be left to the Nation.
1t should be so, for that library is
the home of an illuStrious trio-a
man and two women-who were too
busy living life to bother about show
and swank.
The great room has thousands of
books, scores of pictures and photo
graphs, furniture of ali kinds. AS
in all Franklin Roosevelts homes
as in all Winston Churchill's- there
are scores of pictures of the family,
and of friends, and some of the
pictures are a little askeW, as they
should be in well lived-in house

was a member of the Continental
Congress. He was the greatest
statesman the family has produced
until nowl"
I wondered what Isaac Roosevelt
would have said about the third term
issue.
What is there to be said?" asked
Mrs. Roosevelt. "The Founders de-
liberately refrained from writing an
injunction against the third term
into the Constitution. They thought
third terms were not advisable on
the whole, but saw that the time
might come when third term
might be advisable, so they left the
matter to the judgment of the
American people"
The first Roosevelt came to the
New World from Holland in 1643.
But Sara Delano's ancestors came
even earlier. Her great great
grandfather, Philip de Lannoye, left
Belgium in 1921 and landed at
Plymouth, Mass. In addition, she
is one of those who really did have
ancestors on the Mayf1oWer." No
less than 13 lines of MayfloWer stock
come together in the President S
mother. And she is proud of it, but
not too proud.
II certainly believe heredity is a
fine thing" she said. "If you've
had healthy and intelligent ances-
tors, you're likely to have some
health and intelligence yourself.
But it's no special credit to you
personality"
Liberalism Is Traditional.
In both her family and the Roose-
velts, she went on, there has always
been a tradition of liberalism. The
Pilgrim father who chartered the
Mayf1ower was her ancestor. The
only two deputies who voted against
the death penalty for the Quakers
two centuries ago were her an
cestors. my son is a fighting hu-
manitarian because humanitarian
ism is not only common sense, but
also because he has it in his blood" "
said Sara Roosevelt.
What pity that there isn't more
simple common sense in the world" "
I remarked.
-ouits right" shs agreed. The
