HARDINGS HOLD
MUSICM FAVOR
Deyoices Look for Welcome
At White House After
Next March 4.

Nus.s lovers Of the official and
residential set in Washington are
looking forward with great interest
% the advent Of the Hardings In
the White House on March Z, for
music will be 4 distinctive feature
OF entertainment when the Hard
ings are installed there.
a real love for music Is shared
BY both the Senator and Mrs. Hard
ing. The President-elect began his
musical career as a boy member of
the Caledonia Band. where he first
riayed the alto horn, afterward as
pirinR to the tuba" class to which
he is stir devoted.
With Mrs. Harding music Is pas
s'oT. She looked upon IL as career
and Studied the piano with a zeal
that really undermined her health.
She devoted seven hours day Tor
years to this study and was en-
couraged in her ambition by her
father, but fate decided otherwise.
Fear that she might lose her sight.
an affliction visited upon several
members of her family, decided her
to relinquish her studies.
Nevertheless the love OF music
still abides, and when Mrs. Harding
becomes the first lady of the land,
she undoubtedly will inaugurate
musicals and recitals and encourage
musical talent in the Capital.
Mrs. Taft did much to encouarge
musical expression and the White
House was noted for enjoyable fes-
tlvals while she was there.
Miss Margaret Wilson, the Presi-
dents oldest daughter, Is q devoted
vocal student, but much OF her time
has been spent away from the
White House, and little of her musi-
cal influence is felt by Washing
tonians.
During the Harding regime, many
of the members of the official set
will be able to entertain at the
White House with the skill Of pro-
fessionals. Included among them is
Mrs. Alvin T. Fuller, wife of the
Representative from Massachusetts,,
who has a rich soprano voice and
has been much sought for benefit
performances.
Mrs. winslow, wife OF the Repre-
sentative, also from Massachusetts,,
is an excellent violinist- Everyone

'SUF FFRAGE.F|CHT BEING CONTINUED Revived In One House of Louisiana and Killed
 In Other
BY As.oelat,d Ptess

Baton Rouge, La. June 1S.-W oman suffrage was revived in one house of the Louisiana legislature today and practically killed in the other.
 In the senate Senator Stewards mo- ton to reconsider the states rights bill. defeated yesterday, was carried IS to l2. After his bill had been re- turned to the calendar, Senator Stew art moved that action on the state suf- frage amendment be fixed for June 29 The motion was carried, 1a to Il. This action of the senate returns the states rights bill to the calendar and, ac- cording to it's supporters, offers a chance for ratification leaders to vote for state amendment when they are convinced the federal suffrage amend ment is dead beyond resuscitation.
 An attempt by Representative Con- rad Meyer of New Orleans to revive the suffrage fight in the lower house by the introduction of resolution ask ing the Ratification of the Susan B Anthony amendment, was overwhelm. ingly defeated, 6l to IS.
