BY ROBERT CRAWFORD, ‘T 18 reported that Mrs. Roosevelt was immensely disappointed that she was prevented by iliness from attending the meeting of the Mobilization for Human Needs, which was held at the White House on the seventeenth of the month. It was some- thing to which she had especially looked forward, as the program was to be one of more than usual interest to her. Notwit! & nasty cold she came down from Hyde Park the day before the meeting to get the large east room of the mansion in order—a job she personally superin- tends, exercising that care and thoughtfulness which she customarily does for the comfort of visitors or guests to the President’s house. She ehooses the flowers and decorations for both public and private entertain- ments, and if it is & meeting sees to the arrangement of the seating and the comfort of the speakers. " As chatelaine of the White House, Mrs. Roosevelt has been unique in giving a rare personal atmosphere to even State entertainments. This at- mosphere seems to take away all per- functoriness and puts in its stead the certain charm and feeling of a private home. She seems to create the im- pression that while it is the official refidence of the President of the United States, it is in fact the peo- ple’s house, and she has opened the doors more widely to the people than any former occupant. From her Southern paternal grandmother, who was & member of the old aristocracy of Georgia, she must have inherited much of her hospitable way of want- ing always to offer some little refresh- ment to visitors. Those who have been house guests at the mansion say she is a perfect wizard in finding out all their foibles, likes and dislikes. Like a perfect hostess she makes them comfortable, has the program for the day put in their rooms and goes about her personal affairs. The Taft Boys Belie the Old Adage. Charlie Taft, member of the Repub- lican Strategy Committee for Gov. Landon of Kansas, came back to the White House for the welfare meeting. It was all very familiar to him and he doubtless recalled a few times when he had to practice a little per- sonal strategy when father put his foot down. The Taft boys are up and coming and have belied the old adage that the sons of great men never amount to anything, for both Robert and Charles have made their lives worthwhile and are an honor to their distinguished father in their service to the State. Charles was always more fun-loving | than Robert, but when the time came for him to do his part for the good of his fellow man he stepped right out. He must have a good deal of the fairness and judicial mind of his father. In the first chapter of his book published this year, “You and I— and Roosevelt,” hé says: “I shall probably vote against Mr. Roosevelt. But when I was Yecently invited to give a Lincoln’s birthday address in & neighboring city, and explained brief- ly my political views, the invitation was withdrawn.: They wanted some one who would damn F. D. R. and all his works, I can't and won't, and some of the Republican orators and candidates who do, give me an acute pain in the neck.” A school mate of Charles at the Force School in Wash- ington, on reading the above, said it sounded just like him. He was always fair and able to see the other side but when he made up his mind—that was that. Spain’s Tragic Queen Now in America. Of the three European queens to visit the United States, Marie of Ru- mania, Victoria Eugenia of Spain and Queen Elizabeth of Belgium, only the latter was & reigning queen at the time of her visit. The presence here at this time of the dethroned queen of Spain, is due to the serious illness of her son the Count Cavadonga, and her desire to help nurse him. Spain's former beautiful queen has been treated with every consideration and respect for her privacy since coming to this country, by both the press and the public. Those in her entourage say she has been very much affected by the kindness and sympathy that have been shown her on all sides. Born Princess Ena of Battenberg, daughter of Beatrice, the late Queen Victoria's youngest daughter, and thus a granddaughter of England's beloved ruler, her life since ascending the Spanish throne as consort of the for- mer King Alfonso, has been that of the deepest tragedy, beginning with $ . .

Euro- pean Rulers Peculiarly Superstitious. her wedding day when her bridal gown was splashed with blood as the re- sult of an attempt upon the life of her husband. The inherited and un- fortunate illnesses of her children, the disappointments and disillusion- ments in her private life, to those who believe in superstitions, are the logical outcome of certain portentous charms in the possession of the Spanish throne. Victoria’s meeting with Alfonso is attributed to a strange gold sequin which he wore and is said to still wear attached to 'his watch chain, and which was given to him by & gypsy woman. Many Spanish people of the poorer and more romantic class have always believer that to this fateful charm he owes his marriage to Queen Victoria Eugenia. It's a pretty but ominous story, a fanciful tale that Al- fonso one day met an old gypsy wom- an near Madrid and offered her alms. She indignantly refused the proffered aid telling the King that she was the | last of the Almovarides, who ruled in Morocco and Southern Spain more | than seven hundred years before. It/ seems the young King was much lm-; pressed by the story. When it was finished the old gypsy insisted upon giving him a rare sequin bearing the effigy of Ishag, the last king of the Almoravides. In presenting it to him she said he must cherish it for there | was only one other like it; this, she told him, she gave to an English princess sometime before, and she added, she will be the future queen | of Spain. On a visit to London, Al- fonso was surprised to find the coun- terpart of his sequin in the possessicw of Ena of Battenberg. In no other country has a charm played so large a part as in Spain. One of the most famous rings in his- | tory noted for its disastrous influence was known as the “Spanish Opal.” It | was famous for its flery beauty but spread death and ruin to the person possessing it. Finally Queen Christina, mother of the present Alfonso, had it strung on a gold chain and hungl around the neck of the statue of the virgin of Almudena, the patron saint of Madrid, evidently with the belief that its malign influence would van- ish. It is reported that this statue has been demolished in the present war, Christian Rulers of Europe Peculiarly Superstitious. It seems strange, but the Christian rulers of Europe have been peculiarly sensitive to the influence of charms and omens. The late George V al- most disrupted a luncheon party at the house of Mrs. John Ward, daugh- ter of the late Mr. Whitelaw Reid, by refusing to sit down with 13 at the table, and his father Kind Edward would not allow two knives to lie on the table before him. He regarded ‘Tuesday as his fateful day, as he was born, baptized, married and succeeded | to the throne on that day. The seri- | ous operation which postponed his coronation was also performed on Tuesday. Another superstition of the present King's grandfather was the historic chair in Westminster Abbey encasing the Scone stone, in which all the kings of England after Edward I have been crowned and in which the present British ruler will be crowned next Spring. Coronation Red Is to Be the Royal Color. This chair of plain boards, some- what gilded and decorated, was thought by the Hanoverian rulers not elegant enough for the ceremony and | it was draped with rich cloth of gold. Edward VII on his coronation di- rected that the chair should be used as it was, with the timbers left exposed. By the way trade journals report a shortage of gilt chairs in London: They are manufactured largely in | France, and find their best market | in London where they are in almost universal use for smart social gather- ings. How about Uncle Sam export- ing a few for the coronation? And if you are going over remember that coronation red is to be the official color—it is described between a ma- | genta and scarlet so that old and young can wear it. But if it's too un- becoming, coronation blue—between Mediterranean and royal blue may be worn.
