Perhaps the oldest elephant in
the collection is rather large
Siamese representative of his breed
which is probably 600 years old.
Square-built and white, he wears
an elaborate saddle of solid gold in
laid with red enamel, and Mrs.
Borah permits herself to be quoted
on this one as believing that the
elephants papa must have been
hippopotamus.
Scores of elephants. made from all
sorts of wood. crystal coral, jade.
sardonyx, gold, silver, onyx, porce-
lain, carnelian and other precious
and semiprecious stones and min
erals have been sent to Mrs. Borah
by men in the service who made her
acquaintance and won her friend
ship during those long days when
she was tirelessly on duty in Union
Station helping them on their way
and in the evenings at the Stage
Door Capteen. All over the world
the boys remembered, and the ele-
Dhants came from every corner of
the globe. Many of those now hos
pitalized in this country also re-
member and there are many in the
collection fashioned by boys newly
proficient In the art of carving and
modelling.
A paper knife for which its owner
has a particular fondness is a solid
piece Of ivory about foot and a
half long and an inch and half
wide. Its size, its shape and the
evidence 1t bears of vigorous use
are characteristic of the man for
whom 1t was made, the late Presi-
dent Theodore Roosevelt. An in
tricately designed silver monogram
is imposed at one end of the knife,
which was given to Mrs. Borah by
the late presidents daughter, Mrs
Nicholas Longworth.
A series of five very lovely ele-
plants carved from alabaster were
given to Mrs. Borah by former Am
bassador Troyanowski, the first rep
resentative of the Soviet to this
country, and another of unusual
beauty is fashioned from amber and
stands on a carved teak base.
One elephant disappeared from
the collection some time ago, not
mysteriously but deliberately. Mrs.
Borah was giving a small bridge
party. with Mrs. Woodrow Wilson
one of the guests. The wife of the
late President Wilson was a per-
slstent loser, so Mrs. Borah selected
a small elephant and placed it be-
side her guest for luck The luck
came and Mrs Wilson gleefully kept
the elephant
Would you believe it? In the vast
collection of which these notes are
only smattering. there is one dom
key-just to keep the atmosphere
strictly non partisan.
