"Granny" at Six

The Ritz Sisters — Iris and Joy — who, with Billy Heaton, are proving popular entertainers at the Gloucester Hotel: Their season has been extended until next month.

"Granny!" That's what they called Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, wife of the American Presi- dent, when she was a girl of six,

It was because Eleanor was a plain child. When visitors came to her home her beautiful mother would say to Eleanor: "Come in, Granny." Then she would explain to the visitors: "She is such a funny child, so old-fashioned, that we always call her 'Granny.''

In her candki autoblography, "The Lady of the White House (1Iutchinson, 15s.), published this week, Mrs. Roosevelt tells how her plainness as a child and.as e debu- tante in American society affected} her whole outlook on life.

“I was a shy, solemn child even at the age of two, and I am sure that even when I danced, which I did frequently, I never smiled........ "I must have been very sensitive, with an inordinate desire for affec- tion and praise-perhaps brought on by the fact that I was fully conscious of my plain looks,"
