Two wonderful girls, one who ran

were at headquarters the day the king
and queen of Belgium arrived. With
others they were sent to serve tea, and
they served It, The "Y" girl, taking a
young captain whose presence made her
eyes glisten to her Majesty, said:
Captain Blank, meet the queen"
And the queen, holding out her hand
and never batting an eye to show that
all the conventions had been thrown to
the winds, said:
Captain, am very glad to meet you
They served tea-served IT to tho king,
the queen, the general of the American
Army, and other important people. There
was cake besides tea, and 1t was not easy

telephone girl insisted that General
Pershing must sit down. The king was
standing, and of course General Pershing
continued to do the same.
"WIll you sit DOWN." said another girl
to the king. "rhere are plenty Of chairs. "
The girl had done her Job in France
Job of which many man might have
been proud-and on her left breast she
wore a military medal for vaior. The
king touched the medal, smiled at her,
and said he was glad there were plenty
of chairs, for he knew places where there
were not
But General Pershing ana his cake still
bothered the little Illinois girl, who went
back at him again and asked him to sit
down and enjoy his cake. The king in
dicated to the general TO be seated.

have Known what to do between tine rule

gracefully placed his plate on the side

MRS. COOLIDGE

IN WASHINGTON
Tells of Order to please SteD
On When She First Visited
White House.

The wife Of the Vice President Of the
United States, like the First Lady, Is
exempt from making calls, and except In
acknowledging dinner or luncheon invi-l
tations, is exempt from returning calls
If, however, she Is a socially inclined
woman in good health. it is wise for the
Second Lady to do some polite visiting.
Mrs. Thomas r. Marshall was an indie
fatigable visitor She liked it--and liv-
ing in a hotel, with no family cares and
with all the world as her playground,
she visited every day in the week In

sided almost every day at a sewing
circle composed Of the Ladies Of the
Senate" These 1adies-wives, mothers,
daughters, sisters, and sometimes moth
ers-in-law Of Senators-are still hold
ing weekly meetings under Mrs. Coolidge,
who succeeded automatically to Mrs.
Marshalrs place. Considerably younger
than her predecessor, but with a wide
social experience to guide her, Mrs. Cool
idge nevertheless frankly enjoys her po-
sitiOn. She is fond Of telling Of her
first visit to Washington some twelve
or fourteen years ago.
This was as a spring tourist, with a
party Of New England school teachers.
Miss Grace GOodhue, as she was then,
doing" the White House paused in
amazement at the sight Of the concert

the east room. The highly enameled
crests Of the States that form the deco

her to lnger some thirty seconds or 50

no lettering was allowed, even in the
White House grounds, and Miss Good

quested to please step on" by a MEM

Coolidge told this story remarked, "Welle
