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

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.
After spending almost the en
tire morning, however, outside
