COOLIDGES INVITE
MRS. HARDING TO
STAY, AT CAPITAL
Workers Labor All Night
Rushing White House Re-
modelling to Completion.

| ny the AssOcnteu fress.
Washington, ID. C., Aug. 4.-Emer.
gency preparations to put the White
House in readiness for new occupants
and the executive offices in shape for
new President went forward today,
after they had been continued all
night at the hands of a somber and
sleepless staff.
The glare of lamp clusters, the
| ceaseless staccato of telegraph instru-
ments and the clanking of masons'
upon which the seemingly endless de-
tail of preparations proceeded.
The stream of messages of condol-
ence to Mrs. Harding alone overtaxed
normal telegraph facilities in the ex-
ecutive offices. First one, then two,
and finally at times three telegraph
wires were set to work for their re-
"eption, and weary operators soon lost
count of the myriad communications
There there was disarray in much
of the physical structure of the White
House and its ATTACHED offices. for
when President Harding went West
on his last journey the opportunity
had been seized for a general refur-
nishing. New stone floors were be-
ing laid in the office reception rooms
repairs and renainting in major and
minor degrees had been embarked
upon. WOrkmen were proceeding with
leisurely care, but when the neces-
sity of doing in three days what it
had been planned to accomplish in
three weeks appeared hasty orders
went forth for a night and day drive
to bring the repairs TO completion.
Today. j. II. Hoover, head usher
ut the White House, reported the resi-
dence itself ready for its new in
cumbents. but the preparation for i'm
mediate transfer proved needless.
Mrs. Harding. in telegram sent
late yesterday and signed by Prcsi-
dent and Mrs. Coolidge. was urged TO
remain. under the White House roof
as long as it suits her convenience.
The message expressed the hope of
Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge that as long
as they remained in the White House.
Mrs. Harding would consider it also
her home.
The offer. it was said. would be of
Importance to the widow of the dead
President. because the Hardings had
made the White House more of n
home than some predecessors. Furni-
ture and other furnishings which they
had accumulated at Marion were
brought 30 the official mansion months
ago in quantities estimated as suffi-
cient to fill several trucks. Some
Presidents have maintained homes
elsewhere during the White House
tenure. but it was not so with Mrs.
Harding.
All these things remain untouched
today. and will be left so. it was
declared. until Mrs. Harding herself
can direct their DISPOSITION. The fit
tings and accommodations and prop
ertv belonging to the residence were
said TO be adequate for President
Coolidge's family at any moment they
might desire to occupy the man,
sion.

wool and the shagreen upholstered
chairs. last night there was darkness
and silence and solitude.

MRS. COOLIDGE HAS
REPUTATION AS FINE
COOK AND HOUSEWIFE
Friends of Family Say
President "Plain as an
Old Shoe"
Dy the Associated Press.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Friends Of
Calvin Coolidge say to him that he
is "as plain as an old shoe" but
for Mrs. Coolidge. the new first lady
is reserved the title of being one OF
the best housewives in New England
Restricted in social entertainment
here BIZ living in n hotel while her
husband was vice president. she has
not ha6 the opportunity to demon
strate the excellence of her cooking.
which her friends say. held good
repute in New England. but now it is
predicted that she will resume the
practices Of marketing and shopping
will supervise the menus at the White
House and probably will cook some
of the Presidents favorite dishes. as
she used TO do in Northampton.
Tall and graceful, with black hair
and blue eyes. Mrs. Coolidge already
has established a popularity in Wash
ington which is confined to no faction
or party. A good mixer socially. she
came to Washington with no prcjudices
and has allowed none TO develop. As
wife Of the vice president. she became
president of dining club composed
of the wives and daughters of SEN
ators and in that ca. pcity, she proved
distinct success.
Mrs. Coolidge is noted for a con-
sentative taste in clothes. She wears
things comfortably and well. She likes
suits best of all.
Il feel perfectly comfortable in a
suit and pretty blouse" She once ex-
planned.
The Coolidge "Red" was made fash
ionable by her soon after coming 20
Washington but recently she has worn
blue great deal because IL is
economical. She also has been noted
for her well-shod feet. generally hav.
ing her footwear match her costume
Mrs. Coolidge plays the piano. in
sisting that she does so merely to ac
company her two sons. both of whom
play string Instruments. The two
boys have been away to school dur
ing most OF the time their parent,
have been in Washington with the re
suit, she says that their music ha.
not caused much annoyance to Mr.

| wanting to be on this side of tho
ocean when it starts.
From what you wrote me in your
last letter, l think if you really want
to marry Karl Whitney We can get
him engaged to you while he is over
here where your sister can't inter
fere. l know my sister won't, be
cause she is so engrosscd in trying
to hook Lord George that she can't
think of anything else.
Speaking OF Lord George, what do
you think he asked me the other
day? He came up on the terrace
where l was sitting in the hammock.
seated himself in a chair and looked
at me very carefully without saying
word for a long time. Then he
said:
"Oh, I say, little one, are you
what they call 'flapper in Amer
lea? You are nothing like our flap
pers, don't you know
No" l answered emphatically.
Il am not a flapper. but Sister Vera
is. She is the kind of a girl they CAP
flappers over there"
He looked at me a moment and
then began to laugh. You are
spoofing me-" he said, "but at that
you are a bright one, throwing your
weight around this way" (That is
English slang.)
Wouldn't it be nice. Alice, if when
YOUR Karl Whitney comes over here
Il could borrow Lord George for a
little while from Vera? I'm not n
real live authoress for nothing, YOU
know.
So glad you are coming and really
hope that no one will find out about
the pearls until after you have left.

LETTER FROM BETTY STOKLEY
TO HER FRIEND, ALICE
HAMILTON.

Gracious goodness ALICE Your last
letter made me think you were a real
grown-up young lady. OF course ]
know that both of us have grown up,
but l hope your family is more aware
of the fact than mine is-and me a
real live authoress, even il that isn't
a grammatical sentence.
l made a grammatical slip the
other day and Vera picked me up
right before a room full of people,
saying, Betty. you'll have to speak
more dramatically than that if you
want to be a successful writer"
Quick as thought i answered, "Oh,
] don't know, j don't have to speak
dramatically; l just have to write
dramatically"
Sir George Fortesque told me he
thought that was the smartest thing
he had heard in many moons. He
didn't say many moons" because he
is English you know.
That night Vera told me she
thought l was very fresh and that
little girls should be seen and not
heard in the drawing room. Between
you and me, Alice. think Vera
WOulQ like 10 Dt i@dus Va ACSHuN' uue
she has got as much chance of
hong it as you have. I think he
comes here because l amuse him.
Isn't it strange that sisters are
such cats? From what you write
me about your sister Leslie. she
seems to think she is still 1T" in
your family, and l know that III
be nothing at all in mine until Vera
is married.
BY the way, if your Karl Whitney
comes over here this summer are
you going to tell him that know
about the pearls? Isn't it grand,
Alice, to have a perfectly wonderful
secret like that? 1t makes your life
Just one series of thrills.
Every morning when I wake up
I wonder if the secret will be found
out today for, of course, you know
that some day Leslie's husband il,
going to find out that those pearls
ARE real and then there is going to
be a regular dynamite explosion in
your family. 1 don't blame you for
