WEST PALM BEACH, Fla, March
10.-Declining invitations rendered by
the leaders of Palm Beach society,
President and Mrs. Harding on arrtv-
ing here today followed the program
Of recreation and relaxation that has
marked their Florida vacation trip
Throughout.
The presidential party arrived at
Palm Beach shortly after o'olock
this afternoon, a little later than had
been anticipated by reason OF the
reduced speed at which their house, ,
boat, the Pioneer. was compelled to
steam through the narrow channel
north of here, but yet ahead of the
tentative schedule because of the
elimination of Hobe Sound as d stop
ping point for a morning round OF
golf.
Mrs Harding Lands.
Mr.. Harding, accompanied by his
golfng companions-A d. Lasker
chairman Of the Shipping Board:
Charles G. Dawes, former director OF ,
the budget bureau. and Edward B.
Mclean. host to the presidential
|party-after responding to a formal
welcome extended by Mayor Biggers
OF West Palm Beach and an informal
welcome by the Palm Beach winter
colony members, motored to the links
of the Palm Beach Country Club
Mrs. Harding also came ashore, it
being the first time she had left the
houseboat, except for a few minutes
Thursday at Rockledge, since the
cruise down the coastal waters was
begun Tuesday at Ormond. She. with
Mrs. Mclean. went to the Mclean
cottage here for d rest while the
President played golf.
Will Attend Church.
All Of the members of the pres-
dental party will spend tonight on
the houseboat anchored just off the
dock at the Royal Poinciana Hotel.
The President, with George B. Chris
tian, jr.. his secretary; former Budget
Director Dawes, and possibly some
other members OF the party, plans to
attend church service tomorrow. and
in the afternoon the cruise down the
river will be resumed
More golf Monday at Fort Lauder
dale and arrival at Miami Tuesday is
the program as announced tonight
The party probably Will spend several
days at Miami, as two members of
the Presidents cabinet, Attorney Gen
eral Daugherty and Secretary Of La
Dor Davis, are there.
No definite arrangements as to the
length of the stay in Miami, however,
have yet been made.
The five days of golfng and cruis-
ing which the President has spent
under the warm Florida sun appear
ed today to have benefited him
greatly. AS with the other men of
the party, he has taken on a healthy
coat of tan and sunburn which has
fairly bronzed his face. The lines
that had become increasingly not
iceaple during the winter have par
TALLY disappeared. and his physician,
Brig. Gen. Charles E. Sawyer. bel
lieves that in another week they will
| have been wiped out altogether
Attired in Regular style.
The President, when he stepped
ashore here today. had abandoned his
; tweed golf1ng costume and wore the
| true Palm Beach sport costume of
| white shoes, flannel trousers, white
| shirt, a Norfolk model coat and a
\
mayor in welcoming him in the name
Of the city emphasized that the mu-
nicipality had given him a majority
of 400 votes in the 1920 election. The
President responded that sit was
gratefully remembered"
/ Mrs. Harding, as has been the case
, since the departure from Washington
last Monday. received equally as
| much attention as her distinguished
/ husband She made her appearance
on the deck of the Pioneer while the
boat was being drawn up to the
dock, much interested in those on the
crowded pier in the semi-tropical
scenery. The Pioneer, 1t was found.
drew too much water to come direct
| ly to the pier, and it was necessary
to draw up an improvised gang plank
which was rather shaky, but Mrs.
Harding walked down 1t with a firm
step. showing plainly that she also
! had derived much benefit already
from the vacation cruise.
Mrs. Harding in White.
The first lady of the land, like the
President, was clothed in the most
approved Palm Beach style. She wore
white pumps and white stockings, a
pleated white outing skirt, a white
blouse with q black silk necktie and
| a black and white sport hat Men,
bers of the Presidents party and the
Chief Executive heard with regret
| today the news that Samuel Com.
pers. the grand old man. of Ameri-
can labor, was seriously i'll of bron-
chial pneumonia in New York and
asked newspaper men to advise them
| frequently as to Mr.. Gompers' condi
| ton .,
