Including the greatest diplomats, the greatest politicians and the lenders in the In tellectual and social life of Paris. Dr. Wagner told how he came t<» write "The Simple Life." He was call ed upon while a pastor In Paris t » marry a workman and his sweetheart. One of the six witnesses was the daughter of a great politician. "1 visited the White House at Wasliiigton. I found there nothing of th« grandeur of the homes of kings ami kaisers, but the pure simplicity of : great people expressed In the home o. a chief executive. I was a guest of your president.

He referred to the kind of Muglish he was about to speak, living he had studied the Kngllsh language onlj a short while ago to tell the Ameriean l>eople of simplicity, and that if any "accidents" occurred It would not be by premeditation. "I love the American people. 1 want ed to see them m their own country nnd to know them personally. To ob tain that end I learned their language and here I am." When he landed in New York not long ago ltev Mr. Wagner said "The observance of complete sim pllclty in Ills personal and family life by the president of the I'nited States, one of the most powerful rulers on earth, has a wholesome Influence not only upon America, hut also upon the world at large." •'I was particularly struck with the simplicity of the homo life of the prcsi dent. To one accustomed t«> viewing the pomp aud ceremony which sur rouml the rulers of Europe thov seems to lie something notable in the entire lack of ostentation In the House veil family. I was surprised at Mr. Roosevelt's huhlt of inviting to his private •lining table those who are doiim good work in the world quite regard less of whnt their power or social po sition may he. He looks to the man him self rather than to his appurtenances, and this is a brushing away of the superfluities which is rare in men of his position. In Washington I saw Ins boys starting to a public school, an ! one of them did not even bother to wear a hat. This, of course, was a small matter, but It Impressed me. In Europe the children of a ruler with not one-tenth of the power of Mr. Hoose velt do not go to school at all. much less to n public school. They have a corps of private tutor* and rarely venture into the streets except In elaborate equipages.
