Mrs. Harding and her companions
will be here several days-just how
long she herself confessed she didn't
know-while she shops for the hats
and shoes and gowns and things
she needs TO complete her wardrobe
before she takes her place as First
Lady OF the Land on March 4. Two
maids will look after the comfort
OF the trio.
The wife OF the next President
was courteous and cordial when re-
porters met her as she stepped on
the last Pullman car of the train
In the Pennsylvania Station-but she
wouldn't say anything; that Is, she
would not say anything about the
League OF Nations or whether her
husband was going to give up
smoking; the German indemnities, or
whether she disapproved Of short
skirts; the tariff or whether her
administration would be a snappy
social one-nor would she respond
to any questions at all with which
the group of news seekers were
primed.
In fact, they didn't get a chance
to ask them. Mrs. Harding beat the
reporters to the query.
"JUsT LOVES" REPORTERS.
"Oh. just love you all!' she said
with her bright eyes smiling be-
hind the ovals of her pince-nez and

isn't anything ! can say. I'm just
going to the hotel and rest. have
no definite plans as to what I'm
going to do, but for tonight I'm
not going to do anything at ALL"
Whereupon. accompanied by a Sc
cret Service agent who came along
from Washington, and a hotel repre-
sentative who was waiting at the
station. the Lady-of the Land elect
and her friends boarded a Limousine
and made their way to the Ritz-Carl-
ton. where they will remain while in
this city. They were given a suite
on the twelfth floor.
WEARS MILITARY HAT.
Mrs. Harding wore what the woman
reporter she Rugged said was a
slightly military hat of black,
rather small and adorned with plumes
which might have been robins egg

deep brown cloth. with a heavy seal
collar that was fastened, 80 the rest
of her gowning cant be here de-

At the Ritz, Mrs. Harding and her
friends went at once to their suite
The industrious interview seekers be-
sought her once more for her views
on this and that, but she was too
fatigued to talk, she responded, and
said that II they called today at 8
and she felt quite all right, she would
be glad to see them.
