White House Charm
Largely En- hanced
By Homelike Touch
Domestic Atmosphere Re-
mains Unchanged as Fam
lies Come and Go.

In these sad days of the interreg-
loved President makes ready for the
home coming of the new Executive
and his family, it is horne in upon
the throngs who haunt the White
House park day and night that never
will; the Amerf IN people consent &C
the historic hone beins discarded for
something more elegant and spacious.
You cannot buy with gold the old
associations" and this latest chapter
in the history of the Presidents adds
another plea to keep the White House
where it Is and as it is Many of
those who had received the abundant
hospitality of President and Mrs
Harding will have another memory,
that of the former mistress of the
White House bravely finishing her
work and selecting from her treas
ures certain small things which she
wishes to keep about her during the
period when she is sojourning in
various places awaiting the estab-
llshment OF permanent home. Almost
any hour of the dav those whose
duty takes them to the presidential
ing with various articles, work
basket, a sweet grass box for odds
framed photos and some favorite
books, all bound for friendship and
ana ends on sewing table. some
to give the touch Of familiarity to
alien surroundings. The work basket
was the gift of wounded soldiers of

In odd corners in the blue and red
rooms. But for the casual eye, not a
cnange is apparent in the stately
beauty OF the state suite, and never
ala II look more peaceful and restful
than In the present summer garb.
Visitors to the old mansion have
always felt it's chief charm lies in
us iiVableness and in it's air of
neing occupied in every part. Not
trace is apparent of the cold, formal
air which pervades the homes of 80
many rulers. The corridors are al
ways filled with flowers. bright foli-
age plants and honey little blooms
iike petunfas or dwarf daisies. and
the sun streams in unconfined by cur
tains or draperies. A more perfectly
equipped residence for the head of
republic would be difficult to ina gine,
or one which at the present moment,
though touched with poignant sor-
row. suggests more the dignity of
the ONCE and yet makes the appeal
of home.
Mrs. Coolidge, who visited the
White House first about twelve years
ago, just as all passing travellers
wander through the state rooms. felt
Its charm and simplicity, and never
since when entering it's portals has
this impression been effaced.

haunt OF every President and his
lady since the days of Dolly Madison.
The Washington public think of it
always as the place where the Pres
ident and his family and friends
stand when egg rolling is in progress
on Easter Monday or at the band
concerts on the green below. Pres
ident Woodrow Wilson spent his
invalid days there during the sum-
mer OF 1890 and just before leaving
on the trip to Alaska President and
Mrs. Harding entertained many
friends there and had tea served as
they bade them farewell. The floors
are all shining and white and the
lighter rugs In the state rooms give
that cheerful aspect to a room which
is actually used and where the floors
must be protected against passing
feet. Just at the moment since
flowers have such sad Significance
for Mrs. Harding only the flowers
growing in the great classic Grns in
the lobby are in evidence. SUIT the
sunlight, the perfect cleanliness and
order have the most soothing and
cheering effect. which cannot fail to
restore those. WHO are there either
permanently or whose tenure draws
to a -close. "
