Washington, Aug. 26.-Though the

Secretary Davis did not get away as
O as he had planned, but left here
Thursday, just getting to Mooseheart
in time for the dinner which the presi-
dent had expected to attend. The sec

the last minute either; he left Thurs

President and Mrs. Harding reviewed
on Monday some 1000 student soldiers
from Camp Meade, in the White House
grounds. and had with them the secre-
tary of war, John w. Weeks; General
John ]. Pershing; George B. Christian,
Jr., secretary to the president; Mrs.
Harry s. New, wife of the senator and
a close friend of Mrs. Harding, and
Major o. M. Baldinger, U. S. A, one of
the presidents aides, and Mrs. Hard
ing's special aide and old and valued
friend, having started his carer under
her on the Marion Star.
Mrs. Harding looked very smart"
that afternoon in a costume of dark
blue crepe de chine Of a heavy weave.
The lines of the dress were straight
and the skirt reached to her ankles. 1t
was gathered slightly IN a two-inch
straight belt of silk and the bodice was
gathered in to the same belt, but it
was so loose that it gave a one-piece
gown effect. The neck was cut round
with a narrow white embroidered ba-
tiste collar finishing the back and sides
of the neck line. The sleeves were
three quarter length. Forming panels
on the skirt, starting at the hip line
and going almost to the hem were
large rosettes of the silk placed up and
down at intervals.
Mrs. Harding's hat was a dark
blue model of wide straw loosely woven.
About the edge was q facing of white
organdy, about an inch of it showing
from the top. On the right side were
two large rosettes of blue taffeta
edged with white organdy. Mrs. News
dress was the same color as that of
her hostess. It was of crepe meteor.
The bodice opened down the front apd
had a plain vest of the material. The
sleeves were three-quarter and un-
trimmed. The skirt was ankle length
and slightly full, but all OF the fullness
was caught over the left hip where
the girdle ended in long slash ends.
Her hat was q gray hemp model with a
straw crown of a tam shape and a mar
row brim that was doubled. Draped
over the right ear was q huge pom pom
of gray feathers, short and stiff. Her
skirt and Mrs. Harding's both had an
ever hem line.
Mrs. Calhoun left here Thursday for
the Brazilian exposition as a member
of two congresses and as a political
delegate to the Women's Universal al
lance. Mrs. Lydia Sylvester Draper.
who is the secretary general of the
Women's Universal alliance, accom-
panied Mrs. Calhoun. The latter
travelled in a gown of dark blue canton
crepe made on straight. draped lines
and faced with Alice blue crepe. The
sleeves are hanging, squared off ones.
and there is a roll collar of the Alice
blue, and the drapery at the side ex-
