Then. of course, the President spoke
and any of his utterances just now
are read far and wide. Incidentally
John Bassett Moore. president of the
Pan-American Society OF the United
States, made a brilliant address at
the society's luncheon for the special
mission from Venezuela, which is
sure to be quoted all over South
America-an address which ranks
with the best utterances of a man
who is famed as an orator and .
constructive thinker.
New York outdid itself in giving
royal welcome to the President
and the distinguished visitors from
Latin-America. They even stopped
the traffic in Fifth avenue until the
professions of notables made it's way
up to Central Park. There were
luncheons-or in one instance a din
ner-at the Waldorf. the Biltmore
and the Astor and the rivalry among
the hotels did its bit toward making
each function a little more spectac-
ular than the other. Wonderful dec-
orations and most wonderful food!
Moreover, the special train which
the society had to take its guest. to
New York was the last word in
luxury and the railroad furnished it's
very best chef. More wonderful food!

BY curious coincidence, Presi-

sons of three former Presidents on
the very same afternoon that Mrs.

came in-her duty ION line" over, and
from that time on she was very much

was a group around her, everybody
talking at once. and the First Lady
apparently capable of answering them
all.
If there was any one there who did
not get the personal attention OF her
hostess for a few minutes, ii was her
own fault-for Mrs. Harding seemed
to be on the lookout for the shyest
and most retiring. and was careful to
respond to their tentative efforts at
conversation. The entire state

prowled around and inspected things

chiefly because the hostess did not
content herself with a fiabby hand
"and a perfunctory smile.
There is nothing flabby about Mrs
Harding. Her hand clasps and holds,
and for each there was a little per-
sonal greeting-if only an inquiry
as to what part of the State she
came from. and a recalling of pos

Mrs. Harding wore becoming
gown of gray georgette, embroidered

color, which CLEANED softly through
the mists of gray georgette. She
wore the usual velvet band Ground
her throat with it's diamond clasps,

And her wonderful gray hair was as
usual the admiration and the envy
of every woman there. Undoubtedly
they wondered how she did it--whicn

answered.

reception-always the big social event
of the congress-and the official
opening OF the conference.
Perhaps the most interesting fea-
ture OF this ceremony was the fact
that the British Ambassador spoke
addressing an organization formed to
commemorate the war which lost
Britain her American colonies. He
made a brilliant and stirring address,
Sir Auckland Geddes, dwelling on the
danger of the propaganda which was
being used to force a wedge between
the countries which had fought side
by side during the war. He dwelt
upon the fact that cooperation be-
tween nations had won the war and
that only by cooperation could the
peace be saved and the greatest eco
nomic crisis of history safely passed.
The French Ambassador, M. ]. j.
Jusserand, sounded the same note and
began his address with a revision Of
the litany-"From propaganda OF any
sort good Lord deliver u.s." M Jusse-
rand is a familiar figure on the d. A
r. platform and the daughters do not
think that their convention could be
properly opened without him. Vice
President Coolidge. too. was present
on Tuesday evening. He stood proxy
for the President and welcomed the
delegates in Mr.. Harding's name.
