prised the Presidents schedule. In
the evening he again reverted tr
welcoming the local populace. A re-
ception in honor OF the Executive
family was held at the Ponce de
Leon Hotel.
Fifteen hundred invitations were
dressed people gathered early in
the court outside the hotel. At Q
o'clock the doors were thrown open
and in single file the men. women
and children went past the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Harding in the BALL
room of the hotel. They simply
passed in and out and at the con-
clusion OF the reception the Presi-
dent retired preparatory to an
early golf game tomorrow.
This social event was the only
one which the President permitted
on his trip.
The Presidents sojourn here has
been enthusiastically applauded by
the ,populace. In Florida each city
thinks il Is the best and most beau
'ifu in the State. 1t was not un-
"sual, therefore. that the seven-col-
umn streamer over the local paper
today announced that the President
had returned to his "favorite city"
Praises Mrs. Harding.
Mrs. Harding draws the interest
OF fully as many of the people as
does the President. In every city
the newspapers comment upon her
democratic manner and charm. A
front page editorial in this Demo-
cratic stronghold had the following
to say today on Our First Lady"
Mrs. Harding is a charming ex-
emplihcation of all that is best in
American woHa nhood., She is one
who knows how to do things and
does them well. Whatever respon-
sibility she is called upon TO as
sumo, whether. of a business nature
such as aiding her husband in his
newspaper work during earlier
years. or performing manifold du-
ties falling upon the wife of the
President, she has proven herself
equal to the demand made upon her.
A little over year has passed
since Mrs Harding's first visit here
and at that time her friendships
were just beginning to assume a
national scope. New, after a year in
the White House. they are interna-
tional in character. and she has
taken her place as one of the most
gracious and charming women who
ever reigned over the Presidential
mansion"

was unable to use all of the citizens
who volunteered their services. The
name of the chairman was not made

that the committee will have to face
is that of finding a home for. the

alley-closing law passed by Con-
