When we got back to the White House it was dinner time and he would not
permit me to dress, insisting that I go in as I was. At dinner the conversation
was along pleasant lines. The President spoke of not feeling at home anywhere
now, that is he had a feeling that he had no home. He said he felt the same way
when he was at Princeton and occupied the house of the President, that while he
was perfectly comfortable and happy in his surroundings, yet he always had that
unsettled feeling as if he had no permanent abiding place.
He said at one time during the evening that he wished Champ Clark had
been nominated. He had received a letter from a prominent woman in a Western
State where there was woman suffrage, stating unless he did certain things, the
women of that state would vote against him. He answered the letter by thanking
here and saying he sincerely hoped they would.
After dinner he saw Sam Blythe and afterward Secretary Garrison. I sat
with Margaret and Helen Bones and talked with them about what the administration
was doing and what it had in mind to do. Margaret sang for us and later Dr.
Grayson, McAdoo and Eleanor joined us. I saw the President for a moment before
we went to bed. I told him I expected to leave the next night and he replied
that he expected I would do no such thing.

At breakfast I spoke of Edward S. Martin's delicious humor. <del/> I
thought he was not only humorous but had as much good sense as anyone I knew.
The President replied that "humor and good sense go together". He spoke of
Martin in a delightful way. He considered it a mistake for Life to try to be
