MavIower All Set
For First
Cruise
By JEAN ELIOT.

T" HE Mayflower, the "Presi.
dents sea going hack" will
- be put into service for the
first time this season when she
goes to Lewes, Del, to meet the
President and Mrs. Harding and
their party and bring them back
to Washington. Their trip to
Delaware is being arranged in
order that President Harding
may be initiated into the Tall
Cedars of Lebanon, Masonic Or
ganization, and the ceremony is
: to take place at Milford. Satur-
day. The party is to leave at 8
o'clock Saturday morning and will
board the Mayflower at Lewes on
Saturday evening. En- route to
Milford, the President will be a
guest at luncheon of the Young
Mems Republican Club OF Will
mington.
Not since Roosevelt's day has
the Mayflower been so much
used as in the present Admins
tration. Mr.. Taft was no lover
OF the sea and President Wilson
only used the Mayflower as q
means of going from one place
to another or for the purpose OF
getting as much out Of touch
with the White House and the
cares of state as he dared.
To the President and Mrs.
Harding, however, the Presiden-
tial yacht il q social institution.
They are never aboard her but
that they are surrounded by q
group Of their cronies, and Mrs.
Harding's tea parties aboard ship
for groups OF ladies from the
Senatorial and Congressional con-
tingents or for others of her
friends last Summer will be long
remembered as among the hap
piest events of an Administrator
which has been famous for Its
hospitality.
Starting in the early afternoon,
It was the First Lady's custom to
take her guests for q cruise down
the Potomac, returning &c dusk.
Tea was served aboard and there
was always music by the excel
lent Mayflower band.
Moreover, during the long hot
stretches while the President and
Mrs. Harding were detained in
Washington, they found Saturday
flower a veritable life saver and
the President had some special
engagement.
PRESUMABLY the Hardings
will not make such good use
Of the Mayflower this summer,
as they will be absent seven or
eight weeks on their Alaskan
Journey {
Because Mrs. Harding felt so
strongly the necessity for econ
omy, there has been little of the
remodeling and redecorating of
ally undertaken at the beginning
Of each Administration. But, a
fire aboard the Mayflower made
necessary it's complete renovation
and there Mrs. Harding's taste
has had full sway.
It's charming craft now, with
the heavy draperies of an earlier
day replaced by Cool green and
white cretonnes, and there is no
place where the Master or Mis-
ress Of the White House so de-
light to entertain their friends.
The changes made in the May
flower have increased her cabin
capacity considerably and inn
proved the accommodations
aboard. The vessel also has been
equipped with a number Of mod
ern yacht refinemens unknown
TO boat builders when the May.
flower was laid down some twen-
ty-five years ago.
John w. Weeks, Secretary OF
War, will attend the commence
ment exercises at the Military Acad
