Second Lady ( Continued)
in Washington, seeing their busy father less than
they would like, Lynda and Lucy have dubbed
themselves "deprivileged children."
Lucy writes poetry. "Some of it is doggerel,"
her mother told me, "but some is very beautiful.
She -also has the knack of creating original tunes
on the piano."
Emily Lodge, with two sons and eight grand
children, likes to speak of "all 14 of us." Both
Lodge sons, like their father, are Harvard gradu
ates. George Cabot Lodge, a former newspaper
man, is Assistant 'Secretary of Labor and lives in
Washington. Henry Sears Lodge, a salesman for
an engineering corporation, lives in the family
home in Beverly, Mass. Though geographically
separated, all 14 Lodges meet for Sunday dinner.
Both Mrs. Johnson and Mrs. Lodge are two
home, two-milieu women. For Lady Bird there
is the three-story house between the North Cleve
land and Chevy Chase sections of Washington. If
elected, the Johnsons will stay here. And there is
also the LBJ ranch on the Pedernales River in the
picturesque hill country of Central Texas.
For Emily Lodge, home in New York for the
past eight years has been Apartment 42-A of the
Waldorf Towers. But in September, Ambassador
James Wadsworth moved in and Ambassador
Lodge and his wife moved out to find their new
home on the campaign road. If elected, they will
buy a small house in Washington. .

The Lodges' true home, however, built on Mrs.
Lodge's father's estate In Beverly, is a 14-room,
two-story French provincial of white-painted brick
near the Atlantic shore.
Marriage wrote finis to the business career for
which Lady Bird prepared at college. But 17 years
ago, when her father remarried and was eager
to settle her mother's estate, Lady Bird acquired
two Texas radio stations and holdings in several
others. And so, a year before the birth of her first
child, Lady Bird became a working business
woman. Today she gives four months a year to
the stations and, on the third floor of her Wash
ington home, keeps an office for KTBC and
Channel 7 in Austin, Tex., and for KRGU in Wes
laco, Tex., with which she is always in touch.
There Is Time for Pastimes '
So far as hobbies are concerned, Mrs. Lodge's
main one is reading. She voraciously consumes
. novels, biographies, essays, and poetry, and allows
her literary instincts full sway in the 10,000
volume library which her husband inherited from
his famous grandfather, Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge.
In music, she has a similar catholicity of taste.
For, while she enjoys Mozart, Bach, Chopin, and
Samuel Barber, she also enjoys jazz.
Mrs. Johnson is a reader, too, but only in "little
nicks of time," as she puts it. The recent nicks have
been enough, however, for her to rediscover
F. Scott Fitzgerald and Thomas Wolfe. She says,
"Lyndon's tastes set the tone of the house. I wish
he would read more. And though I like his favorite
music, which is The Yellow Rose of Texas and
Strauss waltzes, I wish we had more variety."
Another of her hobbies has been photography.
She has many home movies and stills of the cam
paigns, though she has allowed the hobby to lapse.
As for the part Mrs. Lodge and Mrs. Johnson
will play as Second Lady, Mrs. Lodge says, "I'll do
whatever Cabot wants me to do." Says Mrs. John
son: "Lyndon will set the blueprint of my role as
Mrs. V.P. I'll make it as big as he wants me to. And
knowing Lyndon, I know he is going to .want to
make the office of Vice President just as dynamic
as is consonant with the Constitution. We've been
studying the Constitution very carefully."
With the approaching election, Mrs. Lodge re
fuses to look ahead because she believes to do so
is bad luck and that "sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof." Mrs. Johnson thinks her party has
"more than a 50-50 chance." As for the possible
change in her own life that victory in the election
would bring: 'The question I ask myself is
whether, as Mrs. V.P., I will be able to devote
time to my radio-television stations."
As both Lady Bird Johnson and Emily Lodge
move toward the moment of decision, neither re
gards the other as a rival. Says Mrs. Lodge of
Mrs. Johnson: "There is no gladiator bout between
us. She is charming. I like her very much."
Says Mrs. Johnson of Mrs. Lodge: "I do not
think of myself as running against Emily. I used
to know her well when her husband was a Senator
and we worked together for the Senate's Red Cross
Committee. More recently, Lyndon addressed the
U.N., and the Lodges were our hosts. She was easy
and friendly. I like her very much."

"urses, foiled again!" pumpkins may well exclaim
V this Halloween as the fad grows to make jack-o'-lanterns
out of aluminum foil. Instead of excavating
mounds of fruit from a real pumpkin and laboriously
carving features with a knife, kids can construct jack-o'-lanterns
around a big balloon (which can be used
over and over), then cut out amusing eyes, noses, and
mouths with a scissors. Just follow the simple step-by-step
directions shown here. Traditionalists may take
heart from knowing that the aluminum-foil method
leaves more makings for pumpkin pie.
