Mrs. Charles L. McNary. her home. Fir Cone, and the Mrs. Charles With Home By Jeunesae Builer Special Correspondent, The Oregonian If Edith Wilk, the little one time librarian of Indiana, has, as Mrs. Wendell Willkle, enjoy ed life In an apartment in New York, great eastern metropolis and the world's largest city, for the past ten or eleven years, no less has the once Cornelia Mor ton of Boston and Washington, D. C, now Mrs. Charles Linza McNary, enjoyed living in a modest white-shingled bungalow on a 300 acre farm five miles from the small western city of Salem, Ore. This Is, by no means, a pose with Cornelia McNary. She will negloct no responsibility, no ob ligations, no duties of any kind, which might take her elsewhere, but what she really likes to do is lead a simple life at Fir Cone (the McNaiy's home for several generations and the senator's blrthplacei, with her husband, her small daughter, Charlotte, and her roses. Official Career Active When living on the Fenway in Boston, the future wife of the Republican vice - presidential nominee might have been term ed a club woman. She was field organizer for the League of Women Voters of Massachusetts, among other activities of some what similar nature, hut the wife of a decidedly "leading citizen'" of Salem. Ore., loves gardens and flowers as much, perhaps more, than votes. She is a member of the council of the National Farm and Garden association and organized the Oregon branch of the associa tion five years ago when the first meeting was held at Fir Cone. Mrs. McNary has been de scribed as an enthusiastic indi vidual. This Is correct and In nothing does this quality appear more noticeably than In her in terest in her home and her roses, "because." as she says, "the cool nights and moisture make them grow so beautifully." On the tirst day of August she told me her rose plot showed a thousand buds and that always her roses bloomed "right up to Thanks giving. " If her major enthusiasms are her husband and her daughter. certainly the next in line are her adopted state of Oregon, her flowers and. particularly, her roses. After that come her tennis and horseback riding, both of which are a great pleasure to her. There is a fine tennis court at Fir Cone. Farm Popular Spot Of course, all of Salem knows about the McNary "farm." as residents of that city Insist on railing it. Many residents of Mistress of Fircone wife of Oregon's vice-presidential roses that grow there. L.Mc Nary Happy on Farm and Family First Concern Portland are familiar with It also, and soon the entire nation may become, by means of the press and photography, accus tomed to the country lane which leads to the mailbox with the name "McNary"; to the drive way that winds beneath the firs and maples; to the little white house with the green shutters that stands in the center of a little knoll surrounded by the trout stream that makes an island of the center of Fir Cone, and to the wide, always-green lawns and the flowers every where. Not to mention the prunes and the filberts, the wal nuts and cherries, the pheasant and the "honkers'' and the mountain trout (Rainbow). The mistress of Fir Cone was born and reared in Washington. D- C, where four generations of her family had made their homes. She came to Oregon, as bride, during the summer of 1B24, and since that time she lias grown to love the northwest, to living in the country and to be come particularly devoted to Oregon. Salem Life Quieter Life in Salem is quite a con trast naturally to that in Wash uigton. 1 here, they usually oc cupy an apartment, but move frequently in order to be as close us possible to the little daughters' school. There is the usual routine of calls, the cu. tomary entertaining of an ol ficial hostess and dinner cngagt ments about twice a week. But the senator was usually too busy for a very active sociai life, Mrs McNary told us. Did we mention three other Important members of the household? Certainly we must not neglect Nancy, who is wee. gray and cuddlcsonic. Nancy is a maltese kitten and Charlottes constant companion. Then there is Jake. "1 don't know what we would do without him. Really. I don't, lie may be only a mon grel, but he has outlived three thoroughbreds and is. the finest ' kind of watchdog ." Jake is a I brown dog and helps Mrs. Me- t Nary look after Charlotte and , he is also very important indeed -especially now that there is temporarily, no nurse, and Mrs Me.Niiry has to do double duty. -" as she sa s I And last, there Is Dnndv. the brown and white Shetland pony who won a silver cup for Char lotte when she rode in the Jun ior League horse show in Wash ington So Nancy amuses Char lotte, Jack-watches over her and Dandy takes her places, and if any one of them were misting the trio would be incomplete in more ways than one. Charlotte it about like any (Courtesy The Oregoniani nominee. Is enthusiastic about other little girl of five or six. She wore pigtails the morning I saw her. She is an active, friend ly child, who, when she wasn't hugging "mother" or leading Nancy with a string, or petting Jake or staging a sort of trapeze act on the bars supporting an old-fashioned hammock, was off to her playhouse or her little white boat. The playhouse, I understand, was planned by a famous archi tect. It looked "intriguing." and I would liked to have seen the inside, but Charlotte is a very good housekeeper and Just be cause "it wasn't fixed up for company." she wouldn't let us go in. Naturally, one must re spect the wishes of the lady of the house and admire her reti cence. I would not have entered for anything.
