Jolt When Harding
Enters White House

| WASHINGTON.-It looks like
bad four years for the royalty a
the White House.
| Regal hammered servants and fun
k1es who have lorded it to theil
supreme delight for many years a
the White House are likely to find i
necessary to drop their royal meir
when President-elect Harding takes
up his abode in the Pennsylvania
mansion.
| Next to an outcast duke a White
House servant is quite the most re.
gal person in the United States.
The Hardings are about as demo.
cratic people as there are in the
United States. =
Either the Hardings or the White
House Royalty" must change their
ways, and the odds are in favor of
the Hardings remaining democratic.
The White House gates are going
to be open for the next four years
Mrs. Harding promises it.
The White House is going to be a
social center again and the Hardings
are going to entertain their friends.
The stately old mansion is going to
have new visitors in the next admin
istration. an
Harry M. Daugherty will probably
be one of the most frequent visitors,
and he is not likely to tolerate the

servants which has been paid Colonel
House and Bernard Baruch. Instead
Daugherty, who Is Columbus, Ohio,
lawyer of bluff good-natured man
ners, will stalk into the White House
with as little ceremony as he has
stalked into the Marion home of the
Hardjngs for the last twenty years.
Dargller:y will probably be a cabinet
member, but this won't change his
manner or unassuming good nature.
1t Harry Daugherty is a frequent
White House visitor it is a safe bet
that Jess w. Smith, of Washington
Courthouse, Ohio, will also be fire.

sion. Wherever Daugherty is there
is Smith, and Jess is already pretty
close to the president-elect and con-
sidered a. part of the family.
Mr.. and Mrs. Edward Beale Nc
Lean, social leader of Washington,
are close friends of the Hardings and
they will be frequent guests at the
White House. Mrs. Mclean, who is
motion picture fan and who has
made reels and reels of pictures of
the President-elect, will probably
take over the management of many
of the White House motion picture
shows.
The president usually has a physi-
clan from the army or navy medical
corps. DR.. G. E. Sawyers is the Hard
ing. family physician, adviser and
friend. He is over sixty and probably
couldn't be made an admiral or a
major-general, but DR.. and Mrs. Saw

Senator Lodge and some other Re- I

business reasons, but the senators
who will sidle into the White House
IN the evening on pleasure bent will
probably be Senator Fred Hale, of
Maine; Senator Frelingsuysen, of
New Jersey and Senator Davis Elkins
If West Virginia. These men have
ong been playmates of the president
elect and they know how to make a
oridge game interesting for either
Senator or Mrs. Harding. The i
chances are ten to one that most of

House will be sans evening clothes

Necessity may make the White
House under the Hardings a social
'enter. The habits of the Hardings
will make the White House a home, a
ypical American home without form,

So, altogether, it looks like hard
our years for the White House
