Of course Mrs. MtAdoo was hardly a baby when she lived at the White House with her father. Wood row Wiison, but she was the youngest of the family. Washington grew to know Mrs. Mo Adoo very well during her residence in the capital, both as the daughter of the president and as the wife of a cabinet -member, and Washington has grown to admire this woman. - who came to the White House a professor's daughter and has since ' become one of the foremost women of the United States.

' ,i I , Mr. McAdoo was a pretty busy man during the war. and Mrs. McAdoo was a busy woman, but she Was ever her hus bands companion.
