AS WOMAN TO WOMAN
To be among the newspaper women
in one of Mrs. Roosevelt's press con
ferences! The thought intrigued me I
and remained in my mind as a re
mote possibility but a pleasant mat
ter for contemplation since I read
months before that the first Lady of
the Land deemed it mutually helpful
to hold these informal conferences
for the discussion of subjects relat-j
ing primarily to women.
And so, when the opportunity
presented itself, (due to arrange
ments made by my cousins, Mrs.
Frank Capps and Mrs Madeline
Rountree, of Washington, D. C.), 'I
was eager to attend.
Mrs. Arthur Bernard, a brilliant
writer, who corresponds for several
publications, invited me to accom
pany her, and as we drove into the
White House grounds and parked I
felt the first thrill of an aspiration
realised, and reviewed the rather
weighty and significant questions
which I had spent much time in list
ing as ones of timely and world wide
interest
We were promptly and properly
identified, and ushered into the Green
Room until the hour of the confer
ence arrived when we were shown to
the Monroe Room to await the com
ing of Mrs. Roosevelt.
I had time to observe this room
and its furnishings, the most inter
esting being the martte mantel on
which was engraved tne following
bit of historical information, "This
room was first used for meetings of
the Cabinet during the administra
tion of President Johnson. It con
tinued to be so used until the year
MCMII. Here the treaty of peace
with Spain was signed.'* '
A large portrait of James Monroe
hung on the right side of the mantel,
that of his wife on the left, and di
rectly above was the portrait of Mrs.
Roosevelt's great grandfather.
The rug and rose window draperies
were handsome, as was to be ex
pected, but the only other object of
great beauty to me was the crystal
chandelier with its heavy bunches of
exquisite cut glass.
Mrs. Roosevelt entered with buoy
ant step, and dignified bearing, and I
wish to say right here that her cor
diality and graciousness of manner
was genuine and could not possibly
be mistaken for the love of publicity
to which her enemies attribute these
and similar conferences. We intro
duced ourselves as she shook hands
with us and spoke words of greet
ings, calling several of the newspaper
women by their first names. .
She was attired in a rather sober
sport suit of black and white, the
black predominating but relieved by
twin folds of American Beauty crepe
at the throat and a belt of the same
shade. I thought, as on a previous
occasion when I saw her, that she
was much better looking tksn any of
her numerous pictures found in cur
rent publications.
Mrs. Roosevelt was attended by
her secretary and Irish setters, Jack
and Jill, the secretary ??trfngr a seat
beside her on the divan and the dogs
lying at her feet and displaying their
adoration as she would fondle first
one and the other, pulling their ears
in unconscious movement as the talk
V\*?
She first announced the schedule of
entertainment of the early summer
social season at the White House.
And though these included a picnic
luncheon for "The Ladies of the
Senate," a garden party for the
women in executive position in the
United States Government service,
(Mrs.' Frank Cspps attended the last
named that same afternoon); a gard
en party for members of the Federa
tion of Arts, which was holding its
convention there in Washington at
the time; a garden party for veterans
in service hospitals in and about
Washington; the receiving of mem
bers of Women* Democratic Club of
Memachnsaltii and a group of women
from Ohio, accompanied by Senator
Bulkley, and the receiving of the
new* appointed Minister of Bulgaria,
Disdtxi Nseninotf, K was the outing
Mm had planned for the 81 girls of
^ ^^ ^ ? ,, ~ I
t
torment of their Being conditions j
would the most dittinguiabed citizens
at the Nation, and .from the accounts
published in all the newspapers Sun
day she did.
The reason for inviting the girls
for an afternoon of enjoyment on
the White House grounds'was, in her
own words, "because as other young
people enjoy an occasional good "time,
I think these youngsters should too,
and that is why I suggested, thpy
| come to me for a jparty." ?> M?.
Asked when she decided to invite
the giris for this outing, she replied,
?'As soon as I saw the prisozf like
walls, which surrounded the build
ings and the windows built iJp" "-so
nigh one would have to stand- in a
chair to get a glimpse of the out
doors, then I thought of the White
House grounds and what a treat it
i would be to those girls to visit them."
Mrs. Roosevelt visited the institu
tion upon the invitation of Dr. Carrie
Weaver Smith, of Texas, the *.new
superintendent of the^ Home, - who
asked her to see "an institution that
is everything an institution should
not be." ' - V*
One was impressed with this "won
der woman's" depth of feeling as she
described the gloomy, insanitary and
appalling conditions prevailing in the
school, which have, it is said, caused
Judge Fay Bentley to refuse to com
mit any girl there in over a year,
and the antiquated equipment, which
is used in training them to take up
life again beyond these prison walls.
Not for a moment did she leave a
doubt in the minds of those present
as to her profound interest, and
its extent, which she declared had
no element of sentimentality, "I
! think," she said, "it is a terrible
(thing to let yourself get sentimental
about criminals, there are some who
j should be shut away from society
jwith as little publicity as possible. I
am not at all interested in a person
'set in criminal ways.
I "What I am interested in is the
great mass of people who have to
come back into society and should
come back better equipped to meet
the world. They have been defeated
once and . they may be defeated
again."
? a? -t. _ ^
.Liater sue reierreu wj uiie
iri this connection, "These girls are
in there to be rehabilitated and as
far as possible returned into com
munities prepared to meet the diffi
culties .of life again.
"Therefore, it seems to me that
complete segregation in gloomy sur
roundings is hardly the way to
achieve this objective. This sort of
thing isnt going to make it cheaper
for taxpayers in the long run, it will
cost them much more in the end for
the people who come out of such
institutions will be back on their
hands eventually in insane asylums
or prisons."
The women of the press were in
vited to the garden parties, and I
longed to return that afternoon but
an engagement- with an acculist pre
vented me from having this pleasure
and I repeated to myself for the mil
lionth time, "How unfortunate are
those who have to wear specs," which
proves again that we mortals are
never satisfied, as soon as one wish
is gratified we straightway begin
wishing again.

writes Mrs. Perry Hicks, of Beltan,
Texas. "I take Black-Draught for
