,IDENT HARDING today

n RESIDENT HARDING today
received a farewell visit from
the b gil an ambassador.
Baron de Cartier, who Is sailing on
the Baltic on Saturday for a short
leave. He will join Baroness de
Cartier, who has been abroad since
June, and II is expected that they
will return to the embassy In
October.
1t is impossible TO estimate how
many times President Harding has
been photographed since he first
doomed upon the political horizon
as Presidential possibility. But
today he sat for photograph
which 10 different 1t ~ designed
to serve as a model for Mrs. Saiiie
James Farnham, the American
sculptress, who IL doing a bust OF
the Chief Executive. Mrs. Farm
ham had several sittings from her
illustrous subject, but needs the
photograph to refresh her memory
for the finishing touches. The bust
10 being executed at her studio In
New York.
1t will be remembered that Mrs.
Farnham did the bust OF Hypolito
Unanue, the Peruvian patriot, which
was unveiled at the Pan-American
Union a few months ago with great
ceremony. She also executed the
equestrian statue of Bolivar now In
Central Park, New York, and was
decorated by both the Peruvian and
the Venezuelan governments for her
work. The Bolivar celebration in
New York was an event so much
discussed in the news and tho Ven-
ezuelan commission, headed by DR..
Esteban Gil Borges, which came to
this country for the occasion, was
so much feted and become known to
so many people in Washington that
the word out of Venezuela that DR..
Gil Borges had got into trouble with
his government caused a flutter OF
interest. His sin, IL appears, lay
in not sufficiently praising his gov
eminent and the gentleman now at
the head thereof in the speeches
which he made in this country.
