HARDING FINDS TIME
TO PLAY GAME OF GOLF.
With all of his duties since
their return the President has
played some golf: he does it about
three times a week, now. He seems
to be favoring the Chevy Chase Club
lately. Mrs. Harding doesn't seem
to fancy any outdoor exercise of
any sort, or at any rate doesn't in
dulge in any. Perhaps she is too
busy fulfilling her innumerable
duties as wife of the Presi-
dent, and just can't find time
for pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. Hard
ing have as their guest the for
mer's father. DR., George Tyron
Harding. When he leaves them he
will visit his son in-law and daugh-
ter. Mr. and Mrs. Heber Notaw. at
their home in Takoma Park, D. c.
The Hardings entertained a num-
Der of bankers at dinner Thursday
evening: Western bankers whom the
President asked to come to Wash
lington TO confer with him on fnan-
cial matters.

WASHINGTON SOCIETY MEN
TO
This coming weekend there IS
going to be a general exodus Of
men: the city will be absolutely de-
sorted, i fear. the big attraction be-
ing the Dempsey-Carpentier fight.
which takes place next Saturday IN
Jersey City They" say that every
berth on the midnight trains out OF
Washington on July has been en-
gagged for weeks and weeks and
weeks. Edward r. Stettinius, who
was Assistant Secretary of War for
while during the Wilson admin
istration, has taken whole tier OF
seats and has invited a huge crowd
as his guests-mostly army officers
and then will keep them over the
weekend at his Long Island estate
The week was not entirely with
out formal entertaining even though
il was quiet-though il was only
quiet comparatively speaking. There
was the reception at the Cuban
Legation; the several polo games
and a number of parties given for
the teams: the Chilean Ambassador
and Nine. Matthew were the guests
of honor at a dinner which the Sec
retary Of the Italian Embassy and
| Mme. Selesla gave. MAJ "S"- -
Inouye. l. ]. A.. military attache OF
the Japanese Embassy entertained

Gen. w. H. Wright. and Mrs. Wright,
who are leaving shortly for San
Francisco. and Col. and Mrs. T. Q.
Donaldson gave a dinner in compli-
ment to Col. and Mrs. Edward L
Munson. Then there were a number
of more or less formal parties. many
OF them given at the Chevy Chase
Club before the regular Wednesday
and Saturday night dances. The Sat
urday night dances seem to be much
more popular now than the We'd
J nesday evening dances, though just
the opposite used to be true.

Cochrane de Alencar entertained at

ance of the Shubert-Garrick stock
company. Several members of the
staff were among the guests. The
Secretary of the Interior and Mrs
