pretty, the clipped stretches of lawn,
the shrubbery and flowers. the
brightly striped marques under
which refreshments were served
the stately servants fitting about
the huge baskets of pink roses on
the tableeit was all so beautiful
The only thing missing was the

spoke of missing the fountain The
weather was great wednesday. The
skies threatened several times dur

cleared or Mrs. Harding always
has good weather for her. parties;
Mrs. Coolidge and several others
spoke Of the fact last Wednesday.
Both Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge were there and quite a
group Of other ofhcial people
Mrs. Harding looked so well Wed
nesday: she wore a charming gown
Of dead white georgette. the skirt
made ankle length and gathered
full and had panels OF the material
on each side Inch-wide bands or
black georgette edged the panels
and also outlined a panel effect
down the front Of the bodice. Inch
Wide horizontal insertions of black
lace were arranged at intervals
down the front panel of both the
bodice and the skirt Black chir-
fon made the narrow collar and a
bit Of il adorned the elbow-length
sleeves. Her girdle was of black
as was her hat. a large picture
model of horse hair braid trimmed
with one large uncurled ostrich
plume that laid across the crown
and extended far over the right
shoulder She had on her usual
black neckband clasped with dia-
monds and platinum. long white kid
gloves and white hose and white kid
pumps piped with black. It was so
warm: felt sorry for her In those
long gloves Most of the ladies
either didn't have gloves with them
or just carried them.
Mrs Coolidge looked very sweet
in light gray creped de chine orna-
mented with eyelet embroidery. Her
hat was a black horse hair sailor
effect. She is so pretty and always
30 charming. Mrs. Hughes looked
very well in a creamy lace dress
made with a sash OF purple of chif-
fon which also trimmed the sleeves.
Her hat was purple. large and
finished with a big purple plume.
Catherine Hughes-Mrs. Waddell
now; I beg your pardon-accom-
panied her parents. She looked
very tired: very tired indeed. but
very sweet in a frock Of white wash
SILK. dainty and sweetly made. It
had a small figure in red all over
IL and the sash was narrow and of
red satin ribbons Her hat was of
white hemp. large and turned up in
back with clusters of white flowers
in front. Secretary Mellon and his
pretty daughter. Ailsa, were there.
the latter wearing the same cos
tune she wore on Monday on the
Raleigh. Mrs. Weeks accompanied
her husband and had on a black
crepe. a Canton crepe. The skirt
was long and full and cut In one
with the bodice. the waistline
marked by a loosely tied sash of
the material. Some machine drawn
work marked a yoke effect on the
bodice and from this yoke at in
tervsls fell swinging panels of the
silk pleated. extending below the
hem OF the gown.
Mrs. Hubert Work and Mrs. A. p.
Fall looked like twins. They both
had on charming gowns of gray
silk veiled in chiffon and Spanish
lace of the same shade. Their hats
were both large. round and of laven-
daT straw. each with the crown en-
circled by a large plume of gray
and lavendar shaded together. They
looked very. nice indeed. Mrs. wal
lace had on a good-looking cos
tune. too; IL was tan colored and
of chiffon embroidered all over in
tan wooden beads. Her hat was a
picture model of the same color
straw as her gown. Mary Wallace,
thought, looked exceptionally
pretty in her frock of apricot
coiored chiffon muchlv beaded and
a picture hat to match. Practically
all of these Cabinet women were
accompanied by their husbands. The
Cabinet people I missed were those
who are out of town: the others
all turned up. The Assistant Sec
retary of War and Mrs. Wainwright
were there and the Theodore Roose-
velts- Some of the others I saw
] could not stay very long as I
wanted to go to Philander Johnson's
party-were Brig. Gen. and Mrs.
Charles z. Sawyer. Mrs. Henry
Wilder Keyes. Mrs. d. r. Crissinger.
Miss Donna Crissinger. Mrs. George
3. Christian. jr.. Mrs. Ralston
Holmes. Miss Mabel t. Boardman.
Miss Patten. Mrs. Atlee Pomerene.
Mrs. Charles Warren, Mrs. Reeve
Lewis, Miss Julia Smoot, Mrs. Wal
ter Hilton. Mrs. Milliken. Mrs. G..
Thomas Dunlop. Mrs. George W.
Wallace. Mrs. A. Garrison McClin-
took. Miss Muriel Denys. Mrs. Eld-
ridge Jordan, Mrs. T. T. Gaff and
many others of note.
The Sawyers and several others /
saw there later went to the John
sons, too.
The boys" did have such a good
time at the White House; every one
OF them seemed to be getting a real
thrill mingling SO informally with
celebrities. And the Hardings have
certainly a charmingly human way
of entertaining them. Some OF the
guests looked a bit awed at first
but soon caught the spirit of their
hosts and seemed to feel entirely
at home. Many Of them had cameras
and took pictures which. 7 suppose,
they will never cease to cherish
and to show to their family and
neighbors back home and their pos
terity. Some were fortunate enough
to get autographs of both Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding.
