very flashy. It was good dressing. They had gone and got themselves a good-looking new dress, or a good, simple hat.

We made our way up. I really enjoyed it all the way. I was always very glad of the people I met on that occasion. The woman who later became the national committeewoman from Minnesota, a lady who lives in Duluth, I met on that occasion, standing on the line. She always remembered me, and I always remembered her, from our meeting on that occasion. We've become very good friends. When I've been in Minnesota, I've at least had lunch with her, dinner with her, or have done something with her in whatever the possibilities of time were. We've always seen each other. There were others who fitted into that category. I made acquaintances on that line that went all over the country.

When I got up into the main hall, Missy LeHand, passing through the hall, saw me and Susanna still waiting patiently in the middle of the hall for the line to move a foot at a time. She came rushing up and said, “What are you doing here, Miss Perkins!?”

I said, “Well, I'm just waiting on the line to be received.”

“Well, where did you come in!?”

“I came in at the door opposite the Treasury.”

“What did you do that for? Why didn't you come in the front door?”
