tsiued them at luncheon, and where
thew remained until just before being
received st the White House at a
o'clock.
The reception in the Blue Room was
pretty sight, with the women in
charming summer attire and Mrs.
Harding herself dressed in one of her
nrettiest midsummer gowns of white.
There were flowers everywhere on the
first floor. arranged primarily in honor
Of the return OF the President and Mrs.
Harding to the White House. The

The Vice-President and Mrs. Coolidge
are learning to take hot weather life
in Washington, philosophically and
they have found out the charm Of life
st Lock Tavern Club. They have dined
there several times of late, either alone
or with friends. For fact, there is
touch of the more rugged side of
New England life about the place,
rather than an elite club for the fash
onables Of Washington society. The
Lock House was built in the early
history of the Chesapeake and Po-
tomac Canal, and it IS there that the
canal boats, plying either way-all
Of that part of the Potomac is veri-

navigable--still change their water
bed. The road to this place lies along
the river and is one of the finest and
most beautiful drives about Washing

love the ylace, and in fact all Of
the Cabinet members enjoy it, as do
also such fashionable folk as Mrs.
ETY. matron who is the daughter of
Mrs. James ". Stotesbury, of Phila-
deIphia

midst Of the warmest weather ever
felt here, and remained until Thurs
day, when she departed for her sum-
mer place at Beverly Farms, Ma,
TO stay until autumn. 1t leaked
through that Mrs. Field did not come
back to town for social engagements,
but to finish sittings for her portrait,
which Philip de Leszlo, the portrait
painter, pronounces one of his finest
pieces OF work. Mrs. Field has
strong and appealing personality that
Is very charming.
The vice-Presideut and Mrs. Cool
ldge are dining all about with official
friends, but quite informally, going
Wednesday night as guests of the
Third Assistant Secretary of State and
mrs. Robert Woods Bliss, who had only
ywo or three other guests besides.
Living in hotel, this custom gives
them a degree of greater privacy,
where, for instance, if Mrs. Coolidge
happens to go to luncheon in the hotel
ahihg room she is pointed out to Wis
tors ~ those who have come to know
her,
