Jos

P: At the 19-gun salute, "Ou la la, such a noise!"

P: "Which is the Woolworth building?"

P: "C'est formidable!"

P: "Shall we have time to see the Empire State?"

P: "They make me feel like a pigmy. If any one ever had any idea of personal grandeur those buildings would take it away."

P: Accepting orchids from the Ford of France, "Let me tell you, M. Citroen, your nice car serves me well. I drive it all the time myself."

P: "How the reporters press around one!"

P: "I am not engaged to anyone. No, no, no!"

P: "I do not need a chaperone. Of course not!"

P: "Why do I go to law school? Oh, I do it to do something. I shall never practice law."

P: "If papa wishes. . . . If papa permits. . . . Only papa calls me Josette*. . . . I am only interested in politics because of papa. . . . I wear blue because papa likes it and I look well in it."

P: "Mama never does anything outside our home. She could not come. She is so busy. She embroiders."

P: On the special to Washington, "Waiter, I will eat this $1.25 luncheon. . . . This gumbo soup. . . . This chicken `a la king. . . . This apple pie."

P: "Oh the sea! What? How stupid of me! Only Chesapeake Bay!"

P: "I am very pleased to meet you, President Hoover."

P:She slept soundly in the White House Pink Room.

P:Honor Guest at the French Embassy Ball, she opened it with Count Franc,ois de Buisseret of the Belgian Embassy.

P: "I don't know how I like American men. There were so few at the ball. There were Belgians and French and Italians."

P: "I want to see a football game!" Promptly a party was made up to take her to the Princeton-Navy combat. But a series of misunderstandings, including failure to be called for early breakfast, prevented. Came tears.

P: Next day she went to Annapolis, strolled about with Commandant of Midshipmen Capt. Henry D. Cooke and later with handsome Navy Tackle Lou Bryan, one of eight midshipmen with whom she drank tea.

P: Back in Manhattan, she did not giggle when ex-Governor Smith of New York took her father up the Empire State Building, asked him to look through a telescope, nor become flustered when it turned out that vainly peering Premier Laval could see nothing until a dime was inserted.

P: That night she went up the Empire State Building once more to bid farewell to the U. S. over the radio. Celebrating (two days ahead of time) the 45th anniversary of the dedication of the Statue of Liberty, France's gift to the U. S., she waved her hand over a grid-glow tube which signalled an airplane, which dropped a flare, which operated a switch, which turned a new system of flood lights on the statue. Her broadcast farewell:

"I wish to take this opportunity to thank the people of the United States for their many good wishes. . . . It is a great pleasure that I am permitted to be the first to turn the new lights on this famous lady."
