THE HARpINGs OBSERVE

President and Mrs. Harding cele-
brated their thirtieth wedding ami
versary last Friday in the homiest
way Imaginable. The day was warm
and they did not have any formal
observance. although they received
the congratulations from many
friends, among them George B. Chris

Nothing could be more typically
or more Ideally American than all
the standards of living that have
marked the careers of the President
and Mrs. Harding, and doubtless, as
they looked back over the past from
the White House, they recalled with
something of awe the dreams of
their youth that were destined to
come true and then to bring reali-
ties even more wonderful than their
optimism dared to picture. ] am

PRESIDENT AND WIFE
PREPARE RECEPTION.

The transition from the beautiful
country home with all its quiet and
charm to Washington with its crowd
ing duties must have been irksome.
Arriving for late luncheon the
President and Mrs. Harding immedi-
ately made ready to receive the fa-
nous French hero. Marshal Fayolle,
head of the special mission sent to
Canada to convoy the thanks
of the French nation for
Canada's participation In the world
war. There were twenty -four in the
party, which included number OF
ladies. The Ambassador of France
and Mime. Jusserand, who had enter
tanned the distinguished visitors at
luncheon at the embassy. accompanied
the members of the mission to the
White House, where there was the
usual charming hospitality. 1t was a
warm afternoon, but the lofty rooms
were cool and open windows revealed
the lovely gardens which attracted
the French visitors and caused them
to comment on the broad stretches OF
lawn.

mission of special interest to all
Americans is Mgr. Landrieux. of

future, for they have gained some
thing more than the admiration and
respect OF the people of the United
States. They have revealed their
adherence to so many truly Ameri-
can ways OF thinking and living
that they have each month gained
a stronger hold on tho friendship
and the objections of all the people.

OF course, IL is to be expected that
many Invitations Offering week end
and week-lonE Inequalities will be
received by Mr.. and Mrs. Harding
now that they have visited the homes
Of two Senators. Newport Is even
now definitely preparing to entertain
the President and Mrs. Harding in a
manner that l imagine would be far
from restful, even though all the
pomp and ceremony are made as COM

that Mr.. and Mrs. T. Suffern Tailor

nouncement OF dinner-dancs at
Highwood on July IA, Is of particu-
lar interest, especially since Prince
de Bearn is TO be the host. He has
been occupying Hollywood, the homo
of Mrs. Henry c. Corbln, ever since
General Pershing moved into town,
and the fact that the counsellor OF
the French embassy stayed In WASH

to any resort looked as IL he ex-
pected the ambassador to be away,
and that he would have 20 act as

But as yet the ambassadors duties
have been too many TO release him.
July IL is Independence Day for
the French, so the entertainment
will have a special significance.
Now that the polo games, which
drew SO many society folk to Po-
tomac Park. have receded into the
past, a charming little tale connected
with them has been told Colonel Silva,
captain of the Cuban polo team, has
a pony that was particularly admired
even among the many beautiful little
animals used in the Washington
games. II attracted the attention of
the President and Mrs. Harding. who
followed the graceful pony's quick
movements with keen interest. Mrs
Harding praised its beauty and the
fact that she had watched II espe-

BAR HARBoR HOPING TO
WELCOME HARDINGs.

Bar Harbor, also, is hoping to well
come tho President and Mrs. Hard
ing. Tho rumor is that they will
PASS a few days at the beautiful es-
tate of Mr.. and Mrs. Edward b. Nc
Lean, who have frequently enter
tanned them. Bar Harbor Is con-
veniently situated and the cruise of
the Mayflower might be easily e1-
tended.
A deserted White House and a Sem
ate even now FESTIVE under summer
labors seems TO forecast dull
August for Washington. The weather
may force Congress to adjourn. Still,
there Is always something worth
while happening. Despite the heat of
the Fourth, there were two members
Of the Cabinet in the city as we'll
as the Vice President, and their loyal
wives remained here with them. The
principal event in society was the
dinner given the evening OF the
Fourth by Mr.. and Mrs Edward b.
Mclean at Friendship, their lovely
country place near Washington, In
honor Of the Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge. The Secretary OF state
and Mrs. Hughes; who are now es-
tablished ut Greystone, their new
home in Rock Creek Park, were
among the score or more of guests.
Like all the entertainments given by
Mr.. and Mrs, Mclean, this dinner
was exceedingly beautiful in ali its
appointments. Friendship offered
cooling breezes and charming gardens
with wide stretches OF green sward
that were restful and delightful.

DR. ChI Chi Chen, who is still
in Washington. was again the guest
OF honor at a formal dinner this
week. The Chinese legation stan
entertained for him Tuesday evening
when there were present only the
members of DR.. Chu's suite and the
heads of the two Chinese educational
bureaus. The minister OF China, Dr.
SEE, who had passed the American
holiday on Long Island. returned IN
time to attend the dinner, which
was a memorable event that brought
together distinguished guests from
far-off China. Since the former
minister OF foreign affairs for China
came to US as the representative of
the President of his country he has
made many friends. DIR. Chu knows
America In a way that could be pos
sible only through the close family
ties that bind him to the United
States. His two young daughters

It Is pleasant TO know that DR.. Chu

terest him and has been so much en-
tertained that he finds II difficult to
leave the National Capital. One OF
the interesting dinners In his honor
was given last Friday. when he was
entertained by the Secretary OF Com

Fortunately, all the Fourth's recol-

thankful for the changed order of
things. The fact that the number OF
accidents was reduced to a minimum
and that really healthful recreations
have taken the place of old-time

There was more travel for the
Fourth than has been previously re-
corded in New York. 1t is estimated
that more than million persons
passed through the city in the course
of the weekend. Most of these trav-
elers were on their way to the country
or seaside resorts, for the warm
weather caused general exodus from
cities. That there was a general
tendency to pass the holiday out of
doors was to be expected. but the
railway travel indicated that there
