Country club, with membership D limited to members of Congress and those closely associated with them.
 Though the President and Mrs. Harding have been sticking to the job" along with Congress, they have managed at last to go some place for a rest. They returned last Monday rather the President did. Mrs. Hard ing was not well for several days, and had to stay quietly at home. and | could not even receive guests-after | camping on the banks of the Poto- mac in the Maryland hills, the first opportunity the President has had since March 1 for real outdoor life and seclusion. There was no swim ming or fishing, however, but the President did go horseback riding, and it was the first time since his boyhood days that he has indulged in that sport. Among the army of attendants at the camp were the | head chef and two assistants import ed from the big New York hotels, i Japanese Walters and valets galore, a dozen or more chauffeurs, mechan- ics, hostlers, carpenters, electricians, chemist, graphers-every- thing imaginable. I'd hardly call | that roughing it; would you?
 GoIfing With Jim
 The President had hardly struck 1 town before he was off to the Colum- bia Country club for a round Of golf with Jim Barnes, Pelham, N. r., professional, who won the week be- fore the national open golf champion ship played at the Columbia. That famous pair played against Fred Mcleod, a local professional. and Robert T. Small. The President re- ceived all sorts of people as usual during the middle of the week and departed again yesterday with Mrs Harding, the Speaker of the House and Mrs Frederick Gillett and other | kindred spirits on the presidential yacht, the Mayflower,, for Plymouth 1 Mass, to participate Monday in the ceremonies incident to the three | hundredth anniversary of the landing of the pilgrims. Monday night the party will leave Plymouth and cruise along the coast to Portland, Me-, where on Tuesday they will land and motor to the country estate of the | Secretary of War, John w. Weeks, on the top of a mountain--he owns all of it-near Lancaster. N. H. Tho | President had visited the Secretary there once or twice in the past when they were both members of ] the Senate. The party expects to remain there or whereabouts for dDOut week. Tn Iact, PreS1Qent ana Mrs. Harding probably won't return here until about the middle of Au l gust, and they have not yet de- termined whether they shall come back by rail, motor or yacht.
 The Coolidges, including the boys, Calvin and John, left Friday for l Plymouth, and they will probably make a-visit or two in New England before coming back here MT. and Mrs. Coolidge had guests lunching l informally with them once or twice during the week, and they lunched informally several times with friends.
 It has been said that while on this | trip-or perhaps later-President and Mrs. Harding will visit the Suffern Tailors in Newport, which report has .that fashionable town truly excited. But one other President has visited there while he held office, and that was Theodore Roosevelt, who went in, turned around and walked right out again--stayed there just one hour to fulfill a promise made to MT. and Mrs. Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter to act as sponsor for their infant son.
