person, writing and lecturing on these subjects, keeping up my expert standing, but serving as committee member, adviser, and so forth.

I married just as the Mitchel campaign was coming to its peak. He was elected in November and installed in January. Before the installation he had asked Mr. Wilson to come in with them. All through that administration, he was the Executive and Financial Secretary to the Mayor. He had charge of the budgets and the financial planning of the city, not the man who controlled the outflow, but the budgetary planning and the budgetary controls.

He had contact with practically every departmental head. Paul was working with them on the preparation of their budgets and on financial matters. In the course of that they would come to our house which was downtown in Washington Place and a short distance from City Hall for lunch.

It was one of my ideas that since I had a real house and a real establishment we could have luncheons. It was nice for the family to come home for lunch. That went to a pattern of life that was common in my father's day. It was very nice. It was really one of the best things that we did in contributing to the friendliness and the peacefulness of the Mitchel administration. They could come to our house and confer about anything privately.
