The Washington times., 1922-05-28

In official society plans are
hanging fire a bit, contingent
upon the uncertain doings of
the gentlemen on the Hill. If
Congress is considerate enough
to adjourn early. practically the
entire Congressional set will
pack its bags and baggage and
HE back home to campaign for
next falls election. Even those
to whom this coming election
does not mean SO much feel it
safest in these uncertain times
to keep the home fire burning
brightly against the future.
THE White House is awaiting
the adjournment of Congress
before completing arrangements
for it's Alaskan trip. Both the
President and Mrs. Harding are
looking forward with keen inter-
est to visiting the northernmost
outposts OF this country, and are
Clinging to the hope that they
may do so. But the summer in
Alaska is short, and If Congress
keeps on saving wood So that
they can't get away from Wash
ington until late in the season, it
may be that they will have to
give up the trip entirely.
On the whole, II looks as though
the summer White House" would
he firmly established at 1900 Pehn-
sylvania avenue until well into
the summer. with occasional
cruises aboard the Mayflower to
provide the President and the
First Lady with the rest and
recreation that is so necessary.
THE Vice President and Mrs.
l. Coolidge expect to take a trip
to California, but not until Au-
gust. The Vice President has an
engagement to address the Amer
lean Bar Association at its meet
ing in San Francisco, and Mrs
Coolidge will go with him. Mean
while they expect to stay on in
Washington. so that Mr.. Coolidge

at the Senate. and their boys will
join them at the Willard before
long.
On their own volition. the
Coolidge boys are lingering on at
Mercersburg Academy, where
they are in school, for a fortnight
after commencement in order TO
take college board examinations.
They rather expect to go to Am
herst. which admits by certifi-
cate from Mercersburg, but John.
the eldest boy. has a long head,
and figures that he would better
be prepared for eventualities.
Amherst might change its en-.
trance requirements before he's
ready to enter, or he might change
his mind about going to Amherst,
and he'd rather get his exams out
of the way as he goes along.
Young Calvin, jr., wrote to his
father, when he decided that he,
too, wanted to stay on after COM
mencement. stating that it cost
50 to take the examination and 81
per day board That was a great
deal of money and could the
family afford II. Permission was,
OF course. Immediately given. with
the reminder that II might be al
most as expensive TO board him at
the willard Hotel as at school.

making plans which may have to
be broken. They have leased
