Itody was "Just folks" together—no
fuss or pose
My first Impression of Mrs. fox
was that yhe was Just a girl—
healthy and breezy snd out-of
doorsy. I could alihost have tailed
her Margaretta. and asked how
dad was. and the hoys, snd how
she made out on that swlnlmtng
malch.
My second Impression was,
"What wonderful hair she has -
that gorgeous, glowing dsrk rod""
And my third Impression, gained
st the table and later In 11#- nurnery
with 7-month-old Anne, was that for
all her "glrlness," the governor's
wife hss a very definite dignity of
her own the dignity of the compe

lovely dignity of motherhood.

When we entered the nursery,
Anne was lying on her hark In the
crib, clad In one very brief garment,
trying earnestly and solemnly to in
sert her foot In her mouth.
On sight of her mother she let
go her foot and broke Into the widest
grin a baby ever managed, and held
up her arms to be taken. I wish to
mention right here that Anne's meals
are of the back to nature variety,
and no patent foods need apply!
After this slight Interval, Anne's
mother said, "Now let's go down
stairs and talk. Only J nm a hor

don't know things. I was nearly
frightened to death the other day
when the reporters called. When
they ask me my views on political
questions, what AM I to say? I'm
Just stupid, I suppose."
"You're young," I suggested,
laughing at the "Just stupid" Idea,
since Mrs. Cox Is no more .stupid
than a pearl is stupid for not being
a diamond.

wan on the train with him and not off
In Heattle,
"Altho I had never »een Bergdoll.
I recognised him at once from the
photographs and descriptions I had

porter.
"The only point* In which he dlf
fered were that he wna smooth

glasses were palpably a fraud, how
ever, for he never failed to remove
them when he wanted to observe

The theory advanced that Berg

Bergdoll wa* a fugitive from Jus

These and like sinister remarks

he said, "just to show the commit
