Laddie Boy, the White House aire-

the afternoon under escort of his
special attendant-the White House NJ.

his stand at the top of the

One missed Mrs. Coolidge's bright
face at most of the festivities OF last

Army budget did a fiourishing busi-
ness and filled a crying need, for there
was chill enough in the air for tea
to be distinctly comforting. More
over pretty girls in sports frocks,
carrying their dainty te9 trays about
from box to box, made an engaging
addition to the picture. and the most
striking feature of the decorations of
the horse show grounds were the
brightcolored balloons which decked
the tea room.
The clothes were rather disappotnt-
ing to those-and most OF us are in
cluded-whose interest is divided be-
tween the fashions and the horses.
Some smart sports clothes were
worn, but for the most part the
women had on the simple dark serge
or satin or crepe frocks that they
have been wearing all spring. few
exceptions there were. of course.
Mrs. Sylvanus stokes, jr.. wore some
lovely and striking costumes. So did
Mrs Cromwell Brooks.

The appearance OF Mrs. Dorothy
Williams McCombs at the show was
easily the sensation OF Monday after
noon, for that was the date which mad
been announced for her marriage to
Frederick A. Sterling. People in gen.
eral hadn't been invited, but that was
understandable, as 1t was to be a
small wedding. So there was buzz
of comment when she drifted in. she

reply in one instance, 'T wouldn't put

AS a matter of fact however, the
wedding didn't take place until yes
terday, presumably because of some
delay in Mr.. Sterling's arrival from
Paris, where he has been on duty.

HUMANIZING THE
WHITE HOUSE.
A volume could be written about
the humanizing OF the White House
and the hundred and one small ways
in which 1t is evidenced. All the state
apartments of the White House were
thrown open to the guests, who were
strolling about at viii "for to admire
and for to see:" and there was dancing
going on in the East Room, with the
Navy Band playing perfectly corking
jazz .s..
| Before retiring to their quarters
the hospitable hosts took just a turn
or two, "to prove they were good fel.
lows'-heroic proof and remarkable
pep" when one realizes that they
had been standing for several hours.
and had been under the physical
strain of shaking hands with 1900
people. or course the dancers all
stopped to watch the President and
his wife-and to cheer them to the
echo. Then once more the band in
sisted-gently but frmly-that this
really was the end of perfect party
even IL 1t wasn't-quite-of a per-
feet day.
The garden party was the first OF
three to be given within the next
few weeks. The general list was
divided ALPHABETICALLY. But the dip
lomatic corps was invited en- masse--
or perhaps zen classe" would express
it more accurately. And the Cabinet
set-the Administrations family cir
cle-and the Supreme Court circle
though it at the last moment stayed
away out of respect to Chief Justice
White, who lay dying. Also ii hap
pened that there were comparatively
few of the ranking diplomats-the
chiefs of missions-present as most
of them were in New York for the
big International Conference on
World Trade, so that many of the
embassies and legations were repre-
sented by their counselors, secre.
taries and attaches. Their chiefs will
undoubtedly be on hand Thursday for
the second of the series of garden
parties or for the third, on June 1.

THE PICTURE FROM
THE SOUTH PORTICO.

Looking down from the great south
portico, the picture presented was
marvelously beautiful. The scarlet
coats of the Marine Band, stationed
halfway down the sloping lawn, were
reflected in the mist OF the fountain,
while all the colors of the rainbow
and some which the spectrum never
knew-were mingled in the ever
shifting throng under the trees.
Mrs. Harding gave the stamp OF her
approval to bright colors, for the
foundation of her gown was jade

the skirt were effectively outlined in
narrow black footing. The note of
black was repeated in the satin girdle
and the First Lady wore a becoming
hat OF black horsehair braid trimmed
With paradise. black hose and black
satin slippers adorned with buckles.

LADIES HEAR OF
DR.. TAG0RE WHO
WILL BE HERE
THURSDAY NIGHT

When the Ladies Of the Leaf met
this afternoon, Mrs. Fred r. Ellis
who had charge Of the part OF the
program dealing with current events
surrendered her time to Perry d.
Maxwell for the purpose of talking
TO the club members about the DR..
Tagore lecture that will be given
here Thursday night under the aus
pices of the Presbyterian Mems Din
ner Club. DR.. Tagore usually re-
ceives $1,000 for a lecture but on
account of his friendship for Mr..
Maxwell and for the further reason
that he can make a stop here between
the State University and a date which
he has in Texas without the loss Of
time he has consented to come here
for less than his regular lecture fee.
A number of Ardmore people have
books in their library of which the
lecturer is the author and these books
are now being closely studied that
something Of the lecturer may be
learned before the date of his lecture
in this city.

course, it is ideal for the producer
TO own his own refinery, but it has
been proved time and time again that
such plan is impractical. The man
ner in which we are going to oper-
ate, will be as beneficial to the pro-

cry who are thoroughly familiar with

plains that if the plant should operate

SOME FACTS ABOUT
THE BAGWORM, ARCH
DESTROYER OF TREES

A number Of people who are inter-
ested in helping preserve the shade
trees Of the city have called attention
to the fact that many of the bagworm
cocoons which are now hanging from
trees are empty. Some Of the trees
show majority Of empty cocoons, and
two explanations are given for this
cocoons left over from last year and
cocoons which were inhabited by the
male bagworm and vacated by him in
August
This condition was noted during the
bagworm gathering last year, and ID
order to determine whether or not the
picking was an effective means of rid
ding the trees Of the pests, Scout Ex-
ecutive Reid preserved several gallons
Of the cocoons just as they were
brought in. without sorting. In April
myriads Of worms Matched. indicating
that even though many Of the bags
were Unmatched, still there were en-
ough TO have done serious damage to
the tree.
The worm matches from an egg in
late spring, emergeS from the cocoons
and begins feeding on the foliage of
the tree where It originated; building
for itself a protection of silken webb
and bits OF leaves In midsummer,
when the worm has completed its
growth the bag Is attached TO twig
and the worm or caterpillar trans
forms to pupa. This period lasts three
weeks and then the adult emerges. The
.l,r &c ot,t ~
the opening at the lower end of the
bag and a moth issues through the
cracking skin Of the chrysalis, and
leaves the old skin hanging from the
bag. The female does not emerge from
the bag, but remains there during the
breeding time, then works her way
back into the chrysalis skin, lays her
eggs and dies. The eggs remain till
the next spring, within the chrysalis
skin and protected by the bag, then
hatch and begin feeding.
Last year, in spite OF the fact that
Scouts gathered many gallons OF
worms, a great many trees were in
| tested, and the foliage was damaged
to such an extent that many Of our
shade trees would have been killed
had il not been that we were unus-
ually fortunate in the way of rainfall.
This year the work must be completed
and the bagworm eliminated before he
/ has an opportunity to eat the leaves.
| Picking the bags is the first step.
and every citizen should do everything
possible to cooperate with the boys, to
encourage them TO keep after the bags,
even TO helping them pick whenever
possible.

Final operations on the building are

]. D. LAIRD, drlller in the employ
Of the Hudson Drilling Company, dis
located his left shoulder yesterday
morning when the Ford in which he
was riding got beyond control and up
set after running over ten-foot
embankment. Mr.. Laird had failed
to lock the automatic steering wheel,
and did not discover his error until
il was too late. a passing automo-
bile picked Mr.. Laird up and rushed
him to Wilson where the Injured man
received treatment at the office OF
DR.. sutherland. He was later brought
to his home in this city by j. l.
Collier. The accident occurred about
TWO miles east OF the Gillam-Coline
well in section 30, on which Laird
had been working during the nigh'
tower. The windshield and steering
wheel appear TO be the only places
damaged on the Ford.
