said to me at the party when I
was remarking on the beauty Of
the function, "Of course we had
everything lovely fort we are en-

person in all the land. the Presi-
dent. No one Is so important"
Which Is true. of course! This was

gallery the name Of the Hall Of the
Flags. A hedge of tall Easter lilies
formed a background there for the
diplomats and the ladies of their
families, who gathered there within
the confines of a wicker fence to
await the coming Of the President
and Mrs. Harding.

The south end of the Hall of the
Americas was roped OF and there
officials like the members of the
Cabinet. the Supreme Court judges,
Gen. Pershing. the Under and AS
sistant Secretaries of State, the
Presidents secretary and other
such privileged characters and
their ladies of course. In arrang-
ing that group, I understand that
there was some difficulty in decid-
ing which held precedence over the
other, the Secretary of State or the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
1. think 1t was finally settled in
favor of the Secretary Of. State.
There has long been debated the
question as to which should have
the precedent, the Cabinet or the
Supreme Court. l don't know that
II has ever been absolutely settled
to the entire satisfaction Of every
one. Some think because the Su-
preme Court judgeships are life po-
sitions they should precede the
Cabinet: others that they should
precede all OF the Cabinet except
the Secretary of State, as he il in
line for the Presidency. Some think
the Senate, even, should not be
preceded by the Supreme Court
judges as the Senate has to con-
Arm their appointments to their
judgeships, but nevertheless 1t IL
generally conceded that Senators
are preceded by the Supreme Court.
Just in. front Of this group Of
people were three grand chairs
with the coat Of arms of the United
States upon them. Two were for
President and Mrs. Harding and the
other for the Vice President--Mrs.
