Miss Roberta Jonay met Mrs. Roosevelt when America's "First Lady" witnessed a dancing exhibi- tlon by students in New York. Miss Jonay was presented to the President's wife as one of the most promising pupils, and Mrs. Roose- velt invited her to come and give an exhibition performance at the antiual party for the newspaper corps in the White House.
TWO WEEKS' ENGAGEMENT On the strength of this invita tion, the young dancer secured a the two weeks' engagement in cabaret at one of Washington's leading hotels.
After the White House party was over, Mrs. Roosevelt suggested that the dancer should stay for the fortnight of her contract in the President's mansion. Miss Jonay was accommodated in one of the large State bedrooms in the first floor.

Miss Jonay sighed ecstatically. She told how each evening one of the President's limousines would
drive her to work at her cabaret." Once Mrs. Roosevelt came to the hotel to watch her performance.

"But I am staying in there," she told the guards.
"Oh yeah?" one of them retorted. "We heard that story before."
Miss Jonay, was thinking of going to a public telephone and asking Mrs. Roosevelt to come to her rescue, when one of the White House footmen saw her predica- ment and came to her assistance.
Now that her engagement here has ended, the young dancer has left the White House for New York where, thanks to the publicity her exploit here has received, she hopes to secure a good job in the
