NEW YORK, July Is (NANA).-
Faye Emerson-Mrs. Elliott Roose-
velt-sat in her sky-scraping apart
ment in a midtown hotel waiting
for her husband. They had come
down from Hyde Park to New York,
where Brig. Gen. Elliott Roosevelt
will spend three days attending to
important business matters. Know
ing he had hectic morning, she
had ordered drink for him against
his coming. 1t stood on a table be-
side hers.
II am expecting him." she said,
at any minute. He called up from
downtown
She sat on a chaise lounge, her
bare legs curled under her.
II would wear stockings" she
said-"at least I would wear them
in New York, because I think it is
more proper here-if could get the
sort of stockings that I like-silk.
But can't. I detest stockings that
bag at the knees. Now in California,
where ones legs get fine tan, I
never think of hosiery. But, as I
say, in New York ."
General Wears Ribbons.
The sound of footsteps in the en-
trance hall interrupted her.
"Hi-yi!" she called.
"Hi-ho!" came an answer.
Gen. Roosevelt came in. He is a
big man, over feet and powerfully
built. He grabbed the drink and
sank into an armchair, while Faye
lowered over him.
Gosh. I'm tired" he said.
II know you are, dear" his wife
said. Take that drink and have
some lunch"
The generals single star glittered
on his shoulder. Upon his breast

ice in africa and the European
theater-67 flight missions as a
pilot; 478 hours of combat duty. He
went into the Air Forces as a cap
tain before Pearl Harbor, in 1910.
Asks Pacific Duty.
He is pretty tired" Faye said.
Tired with a lot of things" AS
guest to lunch with the pair, it had
been stipulated that discussion of
many things apart from his career
as a soldier would not be acceptable
at this time.
Il have applied for duty in the
Pacific" he said. He smiled the
typical Roosevelt smile. Il hope l
get it. / want to see the show out
But, of course, it is up to the War
Department. If it doesn't see eye to
eye with me on Pacific duty, I'll APP
ply for a discharge. You know" he
added whimsically, II have accum-
ulated 278 points in my five years
of soldering. OF course, I'll do
what I am ordered to do. But I
don't want to be chained to desk,
or some other noncombat assign
ment."
Il don't know what to say" Faye
said. HE wants to go to the Pa
cific desperately. But I-well, all
my future plans depend upon what
happens to Elliott. If I could have
a home somewhere, just to stay set,
no more acting, no more worries,
just a home with our children
