ting, the guest of the Wilson's
kinswoman, Miss Helen Woodrow
Bones, and the romance between
the widowed President and this
charming Washington woman first
began to bud. Shadow Lawn. %
near Long Branch, N. J., was also
the summer White House one
year during the Wilson Admins
tration and 1t was there that Mr..
Wilson received the formal noti-
fication Of his second nomination.
After that there was no OFF,
cial summer White House." al.
though one year the President
and Mrs. Wilson slipped away
to New England on the May
flower and had cottage near
the summer home of Col. and
Mrs. Edward M. House, placed
at their disposal for two or
three weeks.
And ever since President Hard
ing Game to the throne, the
White House has been as firmly
established at 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue during the summer
months as through the winter
season; and the Hardings have
depended upon weekend cruises
aboard the Mayflower and occa.
sional trips such as their journey
home to Marion last summer by
the way Of rest and recreation.
president HARDING is cher
ishing the project OF that
trip to Alaska, which he had
planned last summer until the
twin strikes-coaI and rail-pur
a crimp in the project. If Mrs.
Harding's recovery is complete,
as, please God it may be by that
time, she will probably accom-
pany him. For she, too, has long
dreamed of the Alaska trip.
IT is presumably on the first
lap Of his journey to Alaska
that President Harding is to visit
Los Angeles and officially open the
exhibition-the First Annual His
torical Revue and Motion Picture
Industrial Exposition-in July,
which will commemorate the Tooth
anniversary of the Monroe doc
trine.
This is being hailed as "a thirty
day fiesta of literature, music and
art; an extravagancy by the great
est entertaining force of all ages,
the motion picture Industry" and
President Harding is billed as the
"headliner'-probably at the in
stance of his friend and one-time
campaign manager, Will Hays,
now the head Of the motion picture
industry.
Presumably the Presidents &C.
ceptance of the invitation has a
string to it. for all his engagements
are made subject to the condition
of Mrs. Harding's health. But ar
engagements are already being made
for special train to take Presi-
dent Harding and a large and i'm
portant group of officials to Los
Angeles for the opening of the ex-
hibition. This, by the way, is to
be international in its scope. with
the South American countries CO.
operating in making it a spectacu-
lar success; and it is more than
likely that many Of the Latin
American countries will be repre-
scented at Los Angeles by their Dip
lomatic ENJOYS at Washington or
the ladies of their families.
ESIDES the Industrial ex-
- hibits, largely concerned with
the growth of the gigantic mo-
ton picture industry, the exposi-
ton will include a revue OF the
high lights of American history,
which will be thirty days in
and with which will
be interviewer a record OF the
of music and the
dance from Biblical days and the
time when dancers rhymed to
the music Of timbrels and sweet
down through the
lays of BelshaHEar's Feast. when
