Show Ethel Roosevelt. President Roosevelt's daughter Ethel is described as being popular with the young people and a favorite with her elders. "The former," says a contributor contribu-tor to The Delineator, "like her for her good temper and high spirits, the latter for her womanly ways and her extreme devotion to her mother. Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter are thorough .'chums.' "Of course, she loves horses her father's daughter could not help it. Theodore, jr.. at home from Harvard for his vacation, remarked in a superior manner, after listening to a long account ac-count of the virtues of Montauk, her own horse, 'I hate a horsey woman. Ethel!' 'Well.' retorted the girl, unabashed, un-abashed, 'I'd rather be talking about an almost human horse than about a lot of college fellows!' "She is an 'all-around' girl. In the last year or two she has shot up amazingly, and the shy, awkward iittl" girl who went to the White House will leave it a stately young woman with a frank charm of manner that is sure to carry her to brilliant social success." |
