BY CONNIE WING.

Personal beauty and intellectual
brilliancy are possibly two Of the
greatest assets to a popular
woman. / am inclined to think,
however, that many times the
most alluring irresistible some
thing that one can always be re-
membered by is lost to the aver
age woman, and that is the mod
crate use of perfumery.
Brings Back Memories.
You live within the portals of
your body all of your mortal life,
why not make it as charming a
place to dwell in as possible? A
cold, formal, austere museum is not
a habitation. The successful room
is one that expresses the indi.
viduality of the occupants. Gar.
ments are merely passing, they
have no permanence, styles change
so constantly. that in years to come
people may say that you were a
well dressed woman and all of that
sort OF thing, but are they going to
remember that there was something
infinitely sweet about you? Some
fragrance that even today when
they come near lilacs, or lilies of
the valley, maybe violets.

Anyone who has a mental picture
Of President Coolidge with his ear
glued to a telephone transmitter,
shouting orders and receiving ives

running the convention at Cleve-
land, have been misinformed as to
what is going on at the Executive
Mansion here in Washington.
1t is not recorded that any occu.
pant OF the White House ever

nervous state on the eve of his
nomination for the Presidency, but
no one ever. took 1t easier than is
Calvin Coolidge.
The casual caller would get the
impression. If he did not know this
quiet, silent, industrious man, that
to be nominated as a candidate for
President by great political party
was q weekend diversion that tired
and bored him by many repetitiGEs.
President Coolidge is interested, of
course. in what is taking place in
Ohio. but he refuses to get ,ex-
cited about 1t. ~
Attending to Duties.
1t is his business, as he sees it,
to perform the duties of President
of the United States and he is
performing them, regardless of any
other considerations.
His friends at Cleveland, Frank
Stearns, William M. Butler, and
his secretary, Bascom Slemp, have
been in communication with the
White House, of course. But they
have talked to Ted Clark, the Pres.
ident's private secretary, for the
most part, and most of the con-
versation was headed toward Wash.
ington. The President has no or
ders to give and on a few COCA

personally from the convention

thanked them in brief, nasal words

Pressing matters piled high on
his desk and he plunged into them
with such vigor that he didn't even
have time to listen to all the key

TODAY Mr.. Coolidge received the

Chickie paused at the steps. She
didn't look at Jimmy. You mean
you're going to propose again:"

She shook her head.
THAT means he's coming back.

you and him?'

His face redeemed: 'Scuse.

The mention Of time startled
her. She said hastily: mot that
long! Not quite. Jimmy! He's
in New York"
Jimmy looked at her hands.
He told her once years ago they
were the prettiest hands in the
world. He looked at her face. 1t
grew pale under the frightened
excitement of his eyes. Suddenly
he said: "Oh-well, so long,
Chickie"
In her room she sat limp and
trembling on the bed. She said
blankly: 1T won't last much
longer - This made the heat

to her neck. She began to walk
