but, or the other hand, they are more
active in other ways.
The President gets in e few rounds
Of the golf course each week and Mrs.
Harding is active in her social duties,
the part Of her life she devotes to the
public. She gives much attention to
tuTtherinE the comfort Of wounded
soldiers and her first garden party of
the season will be for the veterans in
the hospitals in and near Washington,
arf the reason for q garden party in
stead of an indoor entertainment is
that the great ambulanccs and army
trucks. automO Ohjles and other vehicles
can run right on to the drives of the
White House lawn and the guests can
te lifted from the vehicle almost in
from. of their hostess. Rolling chair
and cot patients all OF whom arc in

chance than If they were carried by IN

the trees from which refres shments VIII
