Her dictum on traveling ouglH to go, for she returned early this month on her 59th trans-Atlantic trip. Her latest triumphal circuit of Eu rope waa similar in many ways to her world-famed tours of a generation ago, when she was feted by nobility. She is quoted by a friend, who saw her at her delightful home in the pic turesque little town of Mlddleboro, as saying: "Seven months In Paris and six in London, with a four-weeks' trip to Italy, is what we have accomplished. American clothes and American dress makers I like best, with laces and such fol-de-rols, American products are plenty good enough for me. I am finishing my biography this Summer and I am looking forward to Its publication with a grett deal of pride, for it is all my own handiwork. Then I am always "glad to have visi tors and expect to entertain much during the coming season. I have had the time of my life auto- lng in Paris and London, but as much as I care for the sport, I much prefer horses and carriage driving for. recrea tion. I am quite a sailor, and enjoyed the ocean trips. I have been across the water fifty-nine times, but I expect to take many more trips. Traveling does not -fatigue me. I love the excitement and bustle of active life. It keeps me young In body and soul."

She feels there are many life vocations women can take up where they will not attract as mucn at tention or create so much disturbance as In politics. She believes that women should have equal privileges with men. If they so desire, but does not think they should want to vote. STORM SWEEPS OKLAHOMA High Wind and Rain Follow Hottest Day of Summer.
