THE EVEXTXfI STAB, WASHINGTON, D. C., MONDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1925.
MOTHER OF LORD MAYOR
QUIETLY VISITING IN U. S.
Dignified Matron of Cork, Ireland,
Does Not Believe in “Heralding
Self With Trumpet.”
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, November 23.—Few of
the eosmospolitan residents of a cer
tain brick block on the West Side knew
that the dignified, staid, gray-haired
lady from the old country who was
visiting in the old-fashioned two
family house with the high front steps
was the mother of the Lord Mayor
of Cork.
For Mrs. Ella French held that gen
tility is marked by unobtrusiveness,
and did not believe in heralding one
self with a trumpet.
“I have always livea quietly,” she
said today, “not mingling much with
the world. 1 had not supposed my
presence in this city was known to
any one but those of my own family. I
have daughters in this country, but
they might not wish me to name them
without their permission. We are
very quiet folk.”

Mrs. French has been visiting a
daughter in Coffeyville, Kans., Mrs.
John Ridgway.
And while Mrs. French was keeping
her presence a secret from the city
she was cherishing another secret
from her own household. None but
the daughter in Coffeyville knew that
she was beginning to write her me
moirs. She hesitated to tell the others,
lest they “fancy their mother is go
ing crazy in her latter years.”
Impressed by the new things in
America, and not least by the high
prices and relatively lavish scale of
living, Mrs. French began first to
write of them for her friends at home.
It then occurred to her to tell of
things she had seen earlier in life.
A desire to do something on her own j
account, to expand an Irish income
to meet American demands, provided
an incentive. Hut before she goes
fariher, she waits the verdict of her
daughters, who know American ways
better than she.

prentices in London were obliged to
wear blue cloaks in Summer and
blue gowns in Winter.
