Naturally there is much discussion q the roa,rc j., ,bfob, Nc.
Truman viii conduct herself as First Lady She is probably being
given earnest advice at this very minute: You must he like his ="
=. You mustn't be like that "
1t will be a pity if Mrs Truman changes her personality in ever,
a small way. She is an intelligent. unaffected. friendly woman She
will be both clever and wise if she stays a $ she Is She has ono
a long way a 9 she is And l hope She won't let arvhodv trv 70 much,
her into a lev mold
How are a trait is this sin Washington I'VE want you to know W e
are going on just s we were both Mrs Truman and her daughter,
Margaret. have bee phoning old associates
Several times il has been necessary during tie past week for Mrs
Truman to break engagements she had made when She was more
nearly a private citizen than nov. Each time such a change has been
made Mrs. Truman has been sincerely distressed
Returning to the beauty parlor approach of Mrs. Truman Mrs.
Truman does her hair simply with a center part straight down the
back and rolled n a ponapadour up over the ears and forehead. She
uses a blue ribbon to heighten the white in the soft gray. She uses
no makeup of any sort. Nor does she tint her nails
Margaret Truman follows her mothers example and uses no
makeup not ven lpstick. The beauty parlor people have tried I'M
successfully to persuade Miss Truman at least to try Hpstck. But
she has refused She does not Use any sort of bleach in her blond
hair.
And, now, back to Ms .Truman's public manner
Perhaps she will not want to continue the rather fornalized
method of communicating with the public which Mrs. Roosevelt
managed S skifuly see no "eason Why she should be forced
to do this if she does not want to 1t is my opinion neither Mrs
Truman nor her husband will be forced to Go anything.
However, it would be agreeable and certainly mutually profitable
If now and then Mrs Truman we're to have an in
formal tea for the women Of the press like that with Er. l.dx
which Mrs. Roosevelt said goodbye to her public life
at the White House. Interesting
SO many people arc anxious to have a picture CT Personality
this refreshing, kindly woman Plans that seen IN
interesting to Mrs. Truman herself will be Of vivid interest to mil.
lions Of the citizens of the country Mr. Truman will have to Lead.
IL might b. possible to arrange a neWS-clearing house at the eyecu-

and personal plans a Mr.. and Mrs Truman wish to reveal.
