he is to be given an Interstate Com

ever saw Mrs. Mclean at the Cap

think she used to take interest in
such matters; but perhaps I'm mis-
taken, and have just forgotten-or
didn't happen to be there when she
was. Naturally being so close to
the Hardings, she would be intense
ly interested now. OF course Mrs.
Coolidge, wife of the Vice Presi-

of the ladies Of the Senate, which
were abandoned for a few weeks
but resumed when Congress got to-
gether again. In fact, with the
