Washington, D. C.. Nov. the women who know Mrs. Herbert Hoover, the next first lady of the | land, have this to say of her: she | is, above all things else, a home | maker. | When Mrs. Hoover takes up her duties as mistress of the White House on March 4 next. all things being equal. she will have four years in which to look ahead and plan her new home. Strange as it 10—All | she has seldom had so long a time devoted to one place. And yet, she | has always managed to make a | home wherever she and her hus- | band may hav- been. Casting her lot with the mining | engineer who is to be the president of the United States, this woman first planned a home in California. After that, she moved on to three others and then to Monterey, to a home which the Hoovers built there in 1902, The homes made by Mrs. Hoover, Herbert E.

First Home Bride's Dream Primarily a home-loving woman. Mrs. Hoover, like most of her Amer- ican sisters, planned her first home with all the enthuslasm and. love and care and cevotion of the youns bride. It was a cheery place, a! cheerful place out in California, | with tennis courts, and a garden. | and all. the shrubs and flowers Cali- fornia boasts. It was truly a bride’s | dream. There was everything for comfort and comvenience and then. of a sudden, it was disbanded and broken up; for Herbert Hoover was called to far off places. Now the average woman, put in a position of this sort, would prob- | stored them for the return. That ! being the case, the new home would | have been more or less a make- ' shift affair. When the Hoovers, | however, set ‘oot on the soil of | China and Mrs. Hoover went to keep | house in Tientsin. she carried along with her her instincts and love for | home making. She was not con-! tent to have merely a place that| might have been furnished by some- | one else; she wanted to furnish 't | herself, with her own things and according to her own ideas. After Tientsin, she went to Pekin. There. | too, she kept house. China desert- | ed, the Hoovers were off for Austra- | lia-to a place where few know ex- ists, Kalgoorie, and there house. Always in her trz Hoover kept the home fires burn. | ing. After Australia, she went to | Mandalay, the place about which Kipling sang, and she kept house | there. She went to Paris and then | Perhaps “house” is not the word: “home’™ would be better. Has Lived Planetary Existance This woman who, on March 4th. comes to keep house in a celebrated mansion at 1600 Pennsylvania ave- nue, N. W.,, Washington, D. C., has had a home all over the world, it might be said, and the beautiful part of it all is that every home of | the Hoovers, no matter where it was placed, has been an American home. Always, of course, there wax that home in California to which ever they found freedom from work on foreign shores. Wherever they home. Mrs. Hoover is the sort of woman whose wery nature breaths the atmosphere of home. It has been said that in whatever countrv the Hoovers were, there they found friends among the American colony and many a homesic’ American er- gineer from the states found sur- cease from sorrow before their fire- place, Now that the Hoovers have been designated by the American peopl® to reside for four years in the White House, therr remains on which they occupied for some vears on § street Tt is an unpretentious mansion de signed In the Colonial manner, that abuts the building lin~ and has no grand gardens or landscape effect in front of it, coming as it does al most to the very streets. Tn th- bhack, however, things are different There green grass grows, and state- ly old trees reach up ahove the roof top. The house is neither large nor small in the sense that it is a pre. tentious establishment with many servants, nor yet the modest littl six room house typical of the aver- age Washington family. It is a stately three-story brick buildine and stands not very far from where the late Woodrow Wilson made his home.

Washingtou transfer and storage men, always on the look-out for such huge jobs as this, are alreaady prepared to vie with each other for the honor of carrying the Hoover goods and Pe- nates from S street to Pennsylvania avenue. That such a movement is more intricate than the mere mov- ing of the average American family is seen by this fact: The men who moved Woodrow Wilson from the White House to his S street home received & check for $1,500 for the work. For seven years the Hoovers have ably have packed everything and dwelt in their 8 street home, alter- | nating at various seasons to their Palo Alto home, and in March they g0 those ten blocks tgothe White House. When “moving day” comes. the Hoovers will add but another niche in their long journeys around the world; but Mrs. Hoover will have another opportunity to display her hand at housekeeping, a job she has performed exceedingly well throughout many years in many places. As chatelaine of the historic man- sion that has housed so many cele- brated first ladies of the land, Mrs Hoover will bring to her new posi tion all the finer instincts of home making that are the ideal of the On top of this she has the experience that natural- ly comes to a cabinet officer's wife, that of entertaining large numbers of people. It is no extraordinary task for her to receive five or six hundred guests in the course of an afternoon. This, in a measure, has been her training for the task that confronts her. First Mct at School ‘With the ascension of the Hoov- ers to the White House, the roman- ticists are recalling their earlier and humble beginnings in lowa, the na tive state of both Mr. and Mrs. Hoover. Too, those whé know the Hoovers point to their early days in school together, when they were both studying the same subject. geology. at Stanford university, where they first met and out of which meeting came their mar- riage. After that, the road of the Hoovers led around the world. Be- fore Herbert, jr., was three years old, the couple had gone around the world three times and Mrs. Hoover, were she of the reminiscent type, might keep enchanted eyes open by a recital of hectic days in far-away places. With her young husband. she went through the Boxer upris- ing in China in 1900. Fourteen years later found them occupants of the now celebrated “Red House on Hornton street” in London, where Mr. Hoover's world-wid- | 1 | i | YOUR | BEST | FORWARD Right or left foot — either is your best foot if it wears a Dorothy Dodd | their native land. The “Red House | on Hornton street.” in London, was a typical American home, as were |all the homes the Hoover's set up and put in operation in various parts of the world. The home .at 2300 8 street, N. W., is a typical | American home. Consequently, when this family moves into one of the most celebrated houses of the® | country, there too will be set up and functioning a real American home. For Mrs. Hoover is, first, last and all time, a home maker.
