interest to the assembled guests,
and all were enthusiastic over the
way In which the dignity and state
liness of the usual White House
function was tempered by the kind
ly cordiality whichmarks all of
President and Mrs. Harding's rela-
tionships in public or private life.
Fifteen hundred and thirty-seven

The refreshment tables, with
their lovely burden OF early sum
mer flowers, Were spread under a
gay red and white striped mar

Marine Band, stationed half way
down the smooth slope of the
lawn. made an effective splash of
color, which was reflected In the
far-flung spray of the fountain.
The gowns OF the women were
gay and colorful in the extreme
and the uniforms of many of the
men present gave an added touch Of
the picturesque to the scene.
Both the President and Mrs.
Harding have a genius for bring
ing the personal element into
their greeting and they won all
hearts by the friendliness OF their
manner.
Mrs. Harding passed on the
word to many OF the younger
guests that there was dancing in
the East Room. This information
took part OF the company back
to the mansion by way of the
south portico to find the state
apartments all open and decorated
in flowers.
