| fact that Mrs. Harding's frst con-
Germ was to increase the number OF
flowers wherever they can be planted
decoratively in the grounds has led
to tho hope that she will revive the
garden parties. once so popular. II
has been rumored that she has under
consideration, also, the revival OF
| the Marine Band concerts in the
! White House grounds. The coming
! of spring in Washington is always a
! time when the charm of the Capital
cannot be excellent and entertain
ments that take account of the out
door loveliness invariably are sue
cessful.
Teas for the wives Of members OF
the Diplomatic Corps may be on the
regular program again. Mrs. Wilson
frequently entertained at informal
teas, but the teas OF other Admins
trations had a certain official signifi-
canoe and were appreciated because
they afforded foreign ladies opportu-

of the Cabinet members also may
be feature of the new life at the
White House. AS the spring season
necessarily will be short and the
warm weather inclines toward the
less formal entertainments, these
weekly meetings of the ladies of the
Cabinet would be much enjoyed.

Four state dinners each year were
the principal formal entertainments
Of the past, in addition to the usual
receptions, necessarily more or less
crowded. These dinners were for the
Cabinet, the Diplomatic Corps, the
Judiciary and the leaders of Congress.
! At the beginning OF each season the
dinners headed the official social list
issued by the State Department If
they are to be again part of the social
| routine they will not be revived until
next autumn. Thus the White House
cuisine will be relieved Of extra
strain until the new order of things Is
well established.
II must not be supposed that Mrs.
Harding will have any domestic cares.
when she moved into the White
House on Friday she found twenty
servants. all under the direction OF an
able housekeeper, who has been In
charge OF the establishment since the
Taft regime. These are provided for
by the Government at a cost of 100000
a year. In addition there may be any
number OF personal servants who are
paid by the President. Mrs. Harding
has retained her own cook, Inez Nc
Whorter, whose name sounds a bit
overpowering, no doubt, to the four
cooks already in the White House,
and one chauffeur. The fact that

a becoming black lace frock. with a
blue sash draped low about her hips.

other good looking frocks in her well

simple tailored suit of ox-blood

chic and must be exceedingly becom-

wrap of black chiffon velvet, with
squares of Chinese embroidery, which
made my mouth water.
Asked IL her husband chose her
clothes-as has been repeatedly
printed-she laughed and said that
certainly he had been very helpful,
but that she hardly thought he would
have much time for shopping from
now on.

interested in men, women and things,

MRS. COOLIDGE
WINS ALL HEARTS.
The Vice President and Mrs. Coolidge
have already been taken to Washing
toms heart and bid fair to be as
genuinely and generally beloved as
their predecessors-more one could
not wish them. with all the savoir
faire and social experience of her
years as governors lady in Massa-
chusetts Mrs. Coolidge combines a
genuine friendliness and graciousness
OF spirit, an engaging personality, and
the faculty of seeming personally in
terested in the person to whom she
ij talking. And her famous smile Is
singularly winning and disarming.
The Coolidges were accompanied to
Washington by Mr.. and Mrs. F. w.
Stearns. wealthy Bostonians and
friends OF long standing. who have
had an apartment at the Willard and
have been with the Vice President and
his wife whenever they were not oc-
cupied with official duties. Mrs.
Coolidge says that 1t was the Stearns
who first discovered her husband and
that they have always prophesied that
sooner or later he would come to
Washington. A particularly nice
young man named Long-Henry f.

THE WHITE HOUSE
AND THE SOCIAL GAME.

By the opening of the White House
gates within the hour after passing
through them, President and Mrs.
Harding have given to the public as
surance that old-time customs are to
be re-established. Since the begin
ming of the war the freedom of the
grounds and certain parts of the his
toric mansion has been necessarily
denied the public. which has held Its
ancient privileges as symbolic of
partnership in Government affairs.
Now that the FIRST public gesture has
been toward the return to the prece-
dents that mean so much to the re-
public, speculation regarding long
revered social affairs has been in
dulged in at dinners and over tea
tables.
The White House, redecorated and
all it's furnishings renovated, is in
fine condition for entertaining. The

for a little chat. Later several OF the
Cabinet officers called to present
their wives to the wife OF the new
Chief Executive.
Although no official announcement
has been made. IL seems certain that
Mrs Harding has selected Miss Laura
Harlan for the difficult post OF 80
cial secretary at the White House.
This appointment would meet with
very general approval. Miss Harlan
comes OF family which has long
been prominent in Washington and is
herself greatly beloved. The daughter
of the late John Marshall Harlan, jus
tice OF the United States Supreme
Court. she knows the working or or
ficial society from the inside and has
always been associated with official
folk. The old Harlan home, at Four
teenth and Euclid streets. was Ia
nous social center during Justice
Harlans life. Moreover Miss Harlan
has been doing secretarial work since
1911. With her sister, Miss Ruth
Harlan, Miss Harlan lives with her
brother and sister-in-law. Mr.. and
