Miss Alice Roosevelt, who is the guest of the Longworths of Cincinnati, was the center .of attraction at the Derby Saturday at Latonia race track. The party, of which Con gressman Nicholas Longworth was host, occupied the left side of the j upper balcony of the clubhouse, find were separated from the other guests of the club by a number of ropes. Those few who were presented to Miss Roosevelt during the after noon were led through some of the inner rooms onto the veranda and through the window. Mayor and Mrs. Fleischmann were conspic uous in the throng which surround icd Miss Roosevelt. Mr. and Mrs. George B. Cox jwere taken to the club house by Colonel E. C. Hopper, secretary of I the club, and were presented to jMiss Roosevelt by Congressman Longworth. Mr. Cox, the noted I Republican leader, stood the or | deal rather better than expected, , as society is not strictly his forte. Miss Roosevelt was very pretty | in a lavender linen suspender I gown, with a white lace waist. She wore a lavender straw polo turban, with a bunch of brown i ostrich tips at the side, and white : kid gloves. The clubhouse was crowded ? with society women in their gay jest of spring toilets. During the 'entire afternoon crowds of people (from the grandstand crossed over i to the clubhouse for a glimpse of the President's daughter. Those who were without badges ljorrowed them from the members and those who were not so fort lunate secured a glimpse of Miss Roosevelt through their glasses] 'from the steps of the grandstand i Miss Roosevelt was apparently j unconscious of the attention she (attracted, and laughed and ehat-i ! tec! in a girlish way. She greeted ! ; t lie members of the club who were [presented to her in a cordial, un 1 affected manner, and her bearing I was exceedingly democratic and informal. Miss Roosevelt bet on the fifth 1 race and lost. Her loss was a few j dollars. During the second race 'she became so enthusiastic that | she climbed over the railing of the i balcony and leaned far out over ?the edge of the veranda, in order j to get a better view of the horses After the races Mr. Longworth land party waited until the crowd ! dispersed before returning to (their private trolley car.
