To C. M, Landover: We
have two Easter lilies. two
hydrangeas and one azalea
plant that have been in our
yard for five years or more.
These were all Easter plants.
The lilies and hydrangea plants
were left in pots and some of
the stalks cut back and well
watered until new leaves ap-
peared and they were removed
from the pots andlput into the
yard, leaving as much of the
original soil as possible around
the roots. The azalea plant
was planted without cutting
back. All of these have
bloomed each year since the
year following the planting. II
your plants are still green. I
should think you could plant
them outdoors at once. Ours
have never been given any
winter protection.

PICKLE RECIPE?

Some time ago, a friend gave
me the most delicious jar of
what I can best describe as
candied green tomato pickles.
I think the picking syrup was
the unusual one, but what
made these pickles so unusual
and so delicious was that the
slices of green tomato were
crisp, not f1abby as usual. Can
any one give me a recipe for

Twenty-Five Years in the White House

an unforgiveable sin by the So
cial staff.
No Mink coots Offered
No mink coats were dangled
in front Of her. but a social
secretary has to be on her
guard against minor bribes.
One prominent hostess invited
her to a small. exclusive tea,
purely to enlist her influence
with the President over a pos
sible purchase of the lady's
house by the Government.
Social arbiter at the White
House for a quarter of a CEN
tury, Mrs. Helm personally
saw no reason to buy long,
expensive gloves just to go to
the White House." During the
Coolidge administration, when
she and her husband were in
vited there to a musicale, she
went gloveless.
She didn't want to be White
House social secretary in the
first place. and tried hard to
resist. II knew the endless
demands on a White House
social secretary and how much
blame was always attached to
her about things with which
she had nothing to do. It
always seemed to me that to
be a White House secretary
one could paraphrase the in
scription over Dante's Hell to
read, All We who enter here
leave friends behind
Later, her justification for
her role was summed up in a
quotation from a British diplo-
mat. which she kept framed
over her. desk:
"Since the good God made
us so that we can not all get
through the same door at once,
there must be precedence"

included many more sumptu-
GUS items-Virginia ham, cold

Diplomats guard their rank
most tenaciously. II remem-

of the diplomatic dinners to
make sure that the repre-
sentative of one country which
hated another was precisely
placed in point of inches from

could have the slightest ad-

Women are more eager than
men for White House invita-

men are dragged along to Off

unwilling victims"
Guests have a penchant for
walking off with the White

regime. before she had time
to sort out all the relatives.
MemorandumS would come
from Mrs. Roosevelt, saying,
"See that Tootie-or Lulie-
or So-and-so-has an invita-
ton"
Kind Words for All
The former social secretary,
who is independently wealthy
and divides her time between
her Washington apartment.
her Boyce. Va. home and her
GRANVILLE. Ill. farm and oil
holdings. has kind words for
all her former employers.
Former President Truman.
she believes, twill rank as one
of our great Presidents. And
I like him for himself, fer his
human qualities" Z
Mrs. Truman she found
'habitually friendly, good-hu-
mored, and fortnight. She
made her decisions promptly
but thoughtfully, and stuck to
them. She merited the high
acclaim that she received -.
All over Washington I heard
:. nothing but praise for Mrs.
Truman. I can say in all truth
that no adverse criticism of
her has ever come to me-"
Mrs. Helm was struck by the
Woodrow Wilson's "unrivaled
home life. I have never dreamed
such sweetness and love could
be-"
She paints a picture of Will
son-touching in retrospect
confidently assuring her in
Paris that he always found
out if you told the people the
truth and pointed out the
ideals to be followed they in
variably backed you up."
The former social secretary
struggles valiantly to speak
only good of the 1943 White
House visit of Madame Chang
Kai-shek of China. But one
is left with the unmistakable
impression that Mrs. Helm and
others of the White House
staff were considerably disen-
chanted.
Nine. Chionq q Problem
She confirms the familiar
tale that Madame Chang de-
manded silk sheets every day.
but excuses it on the ground
that the visitor had a skin all
ment which reacted badly to
cotton or linen.
She relates how the Chinese
visitor, who was invited to
Washington as a personal
not official-guest OF Mrs.
Roosevelt, maneuvered to ad-
dress a Joint session Of Con-
gress, a rare privilege reserved
to a very few Americans and
to heads of state here on
official visits. Nine. Chang
did not succeed in addressing
a joint session, but made
highly successful speeches be-
fore each house separately.
And she recalls how Mrs.
Roosevelt served her visitor
some special Chinese tea, 100
or 200 years old, sent that
afternoon by the Chinese Am
bassador's wife. Informed of
this, Mime Chiang's "sole COM
ment was that tea kept so
long was used only for medi-
cinal purposes in her country"

on being the complete gentle

Yet Mrs. Helm does not
Lack keenneSS Of observation.
and she is capable Of a salty
personal Judgment. These oc-
caSionally CLINT through.
Obviously, she had her
problems.
She had to cope with Mrs.
Truman's shyness of the press
and Mrs. RooSevelt's indefatig-
able energy.
The former forced Mrs.
Helm-although she herself
was almost as shy as Mrs.
Truman-to hold regular con-
ferences with women of the
press, to announce Mrs. Tru-
mans social plans.
Unpleasant OrdeoI
She recalls that ordeal, in
which Miss Reathel Odum,
Mrs. Truman's personal secre-
tary. sometimes shared, as
follows:
$50 the first time we met
the press, in the little dining
room at the White House,
Miss Odum and I felt and
looked like condemned crimi-
mails. Frankly, we were terri
fled. One of the newspaper
women, Doris FleeSon, summed
up the way we looked, as I
recall. with these words:
While they showed no trace
of personal resentment against
anybody. their attitude toward
this part of their duties clear
ly was that there must be an
easier way to make a living"
A great admirer of Mrs.
Roosevelt, whom she came to
know well on shipboard while
travelling back with the Wood
row Wilson's from the 1919
Paris Peace Conference, she
generally endured that lady's
extraordinary energy with
patience and even admiration.
Indeed. as I think back
over the scope of the life of
this Capital City, I find myself
hard put to think of any area
in which Mrs. Roosevelt did
not offer special White House
hospitality. Certainly in IL
years as social secretary for
her, I watched her change the
pattern Of White House enter
tanning by bringing there more
varied groups of people than
ever before were entertained
in the Executive Mansion"
But while Mrs. Roosevelt
broke precedents "She was
most meticulous in maintain
ing the dignity of official en-
tertaining. Her forbears in
Old New York society would
have had cause for great pride
in her regal bearing as a White
House hostess and the high
dignity of the functions at
which she presided"
Amozing Mosaic
Mrs. Roosevelt's interests
were so all-encompaSsing that
life in the White House was
an ever-amazing mosaic to one
in her immediate orbit, as I
was" she records.
