"Press Conferences" find them selves being held, albeit some what Irregularly, in all this hub-bub. Without doubt each of us lives under tension: and, per haps unconsciously, the distaff side of life in this capital steps up the pace to match, In part, the split-second schedule of the First Lady. It's much like watching a six ring circus, at times! Even Mrs. Roosevelt, altho operating un failingly, nevertheless has been clicking a bit behind the blue print program. Small wonderl For Instance, recently she read us her ordinary itinerary, starting daily with the recep tion of large and small groups of women's clubs, girls' schools, committees; speaking or presid ing briefly at momentous meet ings of social significance; at tending or giving official lunch eons; appearing at dedications and greeting as many as four different crowds at White House Garden parties and teas; with dinners, musicals and speeches to round out the evenings. Just then a merciless newswomt:; asked about a talk that very day to be given by Mrs. Roosevelt at the dedication of n hospital. Due to an understandable mixup, Mrs. Roosevelt knew nothing of it, but she sent secre taries scurrying madly to "fix" It tip. Consequently, she left her White House Cabinet lunrheon early, drove for 30 minutes be hind police escort (for speed), appeared on that ho-pit.il pro gram, pushed one hour ahead by telephone, radio, noon-day press and messenger and re turned to the White House to receive hundreds of Red Cross ers invited for 2:30 that after noon. At this party she wore a street length, turquoise blur dress. Without seeming to hur ry Red Cross guests off. she managed to slip away, change into a very becoming, floor length, while and blue printed chiffon with blue hat to match in which she returned to greet a large number of women exec utives in government service and sundry friends. ltHS. Roosevelt's news column of course, is now taken fnr granted. Soon her radio pro gram will be also, hut Just now questions are being aked about it. She told us much about the arrangements. prcwrution (she writes it herself), and hew she now receives all the money, pays the tax. and then naxses the remainder on to charity, j lor details, she referred us to Mrs. Lindlcy. sort of a business' rf jChan & Chan !M rrlletrd al on re h j herhal retiietlt n " u tn tiibmi I r I 1 llttt letrr, Mma t mJL '''Xftl I rouble.

Mrs. Lindley is also director of the girls activities in the N. Y. A. A NEWER adventure for the First Lady is doing her turn before Kleig lights for the "Hobby Lobby" people. In re ply to a direct question, Mrs. Roosevelt said to be sure she was paid for it. She looks upon it as an adventure in learning something new. but I remember her finished performance at the White House meeting of the Woman s Birthday Ball commit tee. For "Time's" news reels, she was a better actress, with far more poise, than either Dor othy Thompson or Mary Pick ford. No retakes required for her part. A "THREE-PLANK" political " platform was outlined by Mrs. Roosevelt, which she thinks all women should sup port: (1) Increased employment, meeting emergencies by joint action and using government to take up the slack. (2) A pro gram for permanent peace. (3) A public health program which would help the medical profes sion, as well as people now de prived of adequate medical care.
