twined with q red ribbon. The sick
room and private parlors have been
loaded with green fern, palms and
roses.
/, There will be no Christmas tree
nor house guests this year. Mrs.
Harding does not yet feel well
enough to entertain even her clos
est friends. and for that reason
plans q very quiet day. She hopes,
however, to be able to eat Christ
mas dinner with the President In
one of the private dining rooms on
The first floor. Er
For the last two days messenger
boys literally have flooded the
White House with gifts. The pres
ents, received from friends all over
