THE SEATTLE STAR—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 21, 1919. Maybe You Didn’t Like T. R: in Politics—But ROOSEVELT AS A “DAD” IS A DIFFERENT STORY! Roosevelt was an ideal father. He made comrades of his children. He played with them, and he talked with them. He LIVED with them. When they weren’t old enough to read, he drew pictures for them. He wasn’t any more of an artist than you are. But he entered into the spirit of the kiddies. EVERY member of your family will read with keen delight and enjoyment | ROOSEVELT’S LETTERS TO HIS CHILDREN! EGINNING November 24,° The Seattle Star will pubiish, in daily installments, the wonderful letters which Theodore Roosevelt wrote to his children. ry SRODORS ROOSEVELT was a many-sided man. He won fame as a soldier, as a statesman, as a naturalist, but he once confided to a friend that his family life meant more to him than his political career and all his other adventures put together. Tho his was an exceed- ingly busy life, he still found time to write frequent letters to his chil- dren whenever he was separated from them. OOSEVELT continued to write regularly to his children all his life and from the youngest to the eldest he wrote them always as his equals. ND never was “Daddy” Roose- velt too tired or too busy to write to the little Roosevelts at home. OOSEVELT said: “I would rather have these letters pub- lished than anything that has been written about me.’ es | 7 R WROTE his children As _ . —When he was police commissioner —when he was governor of New York —when he was campaigning —when he was in the White House —when he was explorer HE letters Roosevelt wrote to his children telling incidents and events that transpired when he was occupying the above positions make most fascinating stories—for Roose- velt was a good story-teller, and when did a man occupy the positions he occupied, visit the places he visited, do the things that he did? He tells his children about them all, simply, clearly, directly, illustrating them with quaint pictures. sz OTH text and drawings are ad- mirably adapted to the childish imagination and intelligence. HAT a father he was! What lucky children to have such a father! What fun in store for mothers and fathers. and for boys and girls who read these letters! OUR own children will think these are “great fun.” —— [> CS Se ——— > Sa THE SEATTLE STAR Clean—Fearless—Independent Order The Star today--through the carrier who passes your door, or by telegraph, telephone, letter or postcard i: Ge 4A Ce ne eee
