Meanwhile President and Mrs. Hard
ing are really keeping up their best
minding" here in Washington even
more busily than ne did in Marion He
has been calling everybody. who could
by any chance expect to throw any
light on the problems with which he
and the Cabinet have been wrestling.
to come to the White House and bring
their illuminant with them.
Mrs. Harding Resting.
Mrs. Harding seems to be really rest
ing. The only thing I have heard or
ner doing for a week past was her
spending an hour or so at Walter
Reed Hospital with the war wounded,
who. alas! are still there. The boys
en1oyed her tremendously for Mrs.
Harding's visits are never formal
AS for the President-well. all tne
world knows the problems with wn'cn
he's wrestling these days. And one
realizes that the business OF being Fresi-
dent must be harrassing-and perhaps
without the uplifting thrill Of the war
time worries to conpensate-but 1t can
scarcely be boring. Its human contacts
must be so infinitely varied! One day
last week in the moments when he was
not closeted with capital or labor, ran
or coal operators or operatives one OF
the British Embassy staff presented 70
him the Maharajah of Rajpiplah-no' !
haven't an idea where that Is. and
assure YOU he didn't look much more
like a maharajah than did Major
Yencken, who accompanied him: Myn-
herr Anthony II. G. Fokker of Rotter-
dam. who was accompanied by one OF
the Cremers, son Of the former Minister
of the Netherlands. both of them chape-
roned by DR.. Hubrecht. Charge d'Ar-
faires Of the Netherlands legation;
couple Of Indian chiefs. under the wing
of a United States Senator. who came to
invite him to allow himself into a tribe
Of Flatheads: had r. Livingston Beck
man, formerly Governor of Rhode Is
land and at present candidate for the
Republican Senatorial nomination In
that State, and there was committee
Of Virgin Islanders camping on MS
trail-representatives of bay rum inter-
ests who wished to impress on him the
| fact that prohibition was running their
| business.
| Certainly that was record of "hu-
man various for one day-and, as
recall it, that was last Saturday, when
most Of US think we are entitled to half
a day off. Still it was rather an inter-
esting lot of visitors.
| The Maharajah simply touched on
| Washington during tour Of the United
States; he certainly was not mere Tor
| more than twenty-four hours, and out
side of having luncheon with Mr.. Henry
Getty Chiffon, Charge d'Affaires of the
embassy, at his home on r street. and
calling on the President, when he was
| accompanied by Major Arthur Yencken
of the embassy staff. I did not hear OF
his having done anything or been any
where. 1 believe he said he was IN the
United States on business trip.
One time Gov. Beeckman was also
here ON business--political business.
He spent some time in conference with
some of the Republican leaders up at
the Capitol presumably discussing his
own Senatorial chances and 1t Is
understood that he seized the opporr
tunity offered by his luncheon at the
White House to urge upon the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding his invitation
that they go to Mooseheart when they
go by way of Newport and spend day
with him at his home, Lands End. He
doesn't seem to have extracted any
definite promise.
Really one Is beginning to hear now
of return dates rather than Of dates
Of departure. The British Ambassador
and Lady Geddes are sailing from
England August on the Mauretania.
Comte de Chambrun sails the same
day, but presumably on a French ves-
sci, to assume his place as Counselor
of the French Embassy and to relieve
the French Ambassador. who has been
waiting for some one whom he could
leave as charge d'affaires in order to
get away on his own vacation. He and
Nine. Jusserand are sailing a week
| later, August 12. by which time 1t is
assumed that Comte de Clfambrun will
| be here.
