house reception.
ThSy were told that Mrs. Hard
ing will sit at the table with her
husband for the first time since
Thanksgiving Day and that unlike
the previous occasion she will be
permitted to break the long fast
Of q sick-room diet and eat any
thing she wishes.
So the cakes and the puddings
and the pastries are already in
course of preparation under the
watchful eye of experts on the
question of how such things
should be prepared. The turkey
has not been selected. but this is
never a matter to bother any one
at the White House since scores
OF finest gobblers invariably are
included in the Presidents Christ
mas gifts.
The President and Mrs. Hard
ing may have a few intimate
friends as guests. but this has not
been definitely decided. 1t was
believed. however. that every ef-
fort will be made to avoid any
thing bordering onto a celebra-
ton. as Mrs. Harding is still too
weak to undergo any strain.
Sometime during the day the
President and Mrs. Harding will
personally receive all of the Exec
utive office and White House en-
ployes and present each with some
token Of appreciation. The Pres
fdent's gifts will be limited to
books. which he selected about a
week ago. He has been busy
inscrihing each with some ex-
preston of friendship and his au-
tograph.
