morning.
HARDINGs MAKE CALLERS
FEEL -AT HOME.o
Almost Immediately both Presi-
dent and Mrs Harding resumed
their daily-shall / say task, of re-
ceiving callers How weary they
must get of that, and yet they don't
seem to; they really seem to enjoy
meeting people, and certainly have
a knack for making each guest feel
that they are particularly welcome
and to feel completely at home. On
Friday Mrs. Harding received the
Colonial Danes of America, who
were attending their council in ses-
sion here. The DANES were the CEN
ter of furry of parties all week,
and the Club of Colonial Danes
formed of members of various chap
ters of the danes in Washington
and other cities, who are residing
in the capital-kept open house all
week. Mrs. Charles Gray Matthews,
president of the Club of Colonial
Danes. gave a large reception in
compliment to Mrs. Joseph Rucker
Lamar, president of the Colonial
Danes of America. Mrs. Lamar
held reception the same evening
ter the delegates at the Washing
ton hotel where the conferences
were held. Mrs. Violet Blair Janin,
president of the District of Column
bia chapter of the Colonial Danes,
was hostess at. a reception at the
Washington club in compliment to
the national officers and delegates.

WILL ATTEND UNWILLING
OF TABLET TO HEROES.
THEIR reception at the White
house was just like most of the
i receptions Mrs. Harding gives
for large organizations like that:
she just shakes hands with them all
and doesn't serve tea President
and Mrs. Harding will motor today
to Pohick. Fairfax county, Va, to
attend the unveiling of a tablet in
the memory of the men from that
section who lost their lives In the
world war. The memorial will be
| placed within the Pohick church,
famous for its history and the fact
that George Washington was a pew
holder and one Of its vestrymen.
| Plans are being made for the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding to motor to
Annapolis next Thursday to attend
the graduation exercises at the
United States naval academy, when
the President will present the grad
uating midshipmen with their di-
I.lomas. and the secretary of the
navy. Edwin DENLY. will make an
address. June week" at the naval
academy. as the week of graduation
festivio oes and exercises is called. is
always of particular interest to
Washington, especially the young
girls, who go down in droves. some
for the whole week and others for
the class German and the June ball,
the two most interesting functions
of the week always.
MANY GIRLS WILL FLOCK
TO LITTLE CAPITAL OF MD.
OF course, the midshipmen come
from all over the country, SO their
relatives and girls" from all over
the old U. S. A. flock to the little
capital of Maryland for June week;
but Washington is so near to An
napolis that society here naturally
takes a great interest in the boys
there and the girls make many
friends down there and are very
much in demand for all of the
hops" the year round. mainly be-
cause they are So convenient. Girls
from more distant parts of the
country cannot be running down to
Annapolis every week, you see, to
attend the dances and other enter
tainments, SO the Washington girls
are "in luck" l should say. The
commandant at the academy always
entertains several times during
June week also, his guests including
many of the official and resident
set in Washington.
