"Believe me, Mrs. Coolide has to
be reckoned with when you sum up
the Presidents political assets-she's
quiet, steady going vote-getter, all
right"
Despite almost constant open house
sessions, Mrs. Coolidge found time to

Wedding Is Picturesque.
There's a terrific drag on her to OBJ
tain admission to the conventions at
Cleveland and New York. Getting on
in one or the other won't do: really
to be in it properly, one must attend
both. Consequently, some distinguish
ed party sponsors are likely to have
their heads turned by the sudden, not
to say acute, popularity they have
encountered.
As expected, the wedding Of Bobby
Bell and Josephine Hutchinson lost
nothing in picturesqueness because of
the limitation of guests. The bride
had gown of white moire with a very
full skirt, a tight fitting bodice. long.
tight fitting sleeves, the neckline fol-
lowed by adorable old rose point lace.
which fell to the waist line in cape
effect. Her tulle veil was held by a
tight bandeau of orange blossoms and
her bouquet was of Easter lilies.
The "coy" and "unsophisticated
note is dominant nowadays in the toy
gerry of the bride and her attendants.

Children Of American Revo-
luton in Thrilling Bids
and fuckers Bare Knees
and Bodied Locks, Pay
Respects to First Lady.
BY JEAN JARVIS.

Copyright by TIE San Antonio Light.
Washington, ID. c., April 19.-Per-
fectly glorious in its poisoning mag
nolias, japanese, ounce, and .forsythia !;
its first hyacinths and tulips, and its
passing jonquils and coqueceses, the
White House gayly played the role of
pied piper one day this week when for
almost two hours, pretty nearly all
the children in the world converged
upon the historic mansion, ready to
sw0op down upon the first lady.
Ranging from early juveniles to sub
debs and their gallants, the children
of the American Revolution to the
number of $50, arrived in thrilling bibs
and fuckers. bare knees, bobbed locks
and butterfly bows, to pay their re-
spects to Mrs. Coolidge.
First Lady Likes Children.
A sort of by-products of the Nation
al Society, Daughters of the American
Revolution. the Juvenile organization
always holds its annual congress coin
cidently with that of the daughters.
While the D. A. X. has met here for
many years, the big party this week
was an absolutely new thing in White
House social annals. And in setting a
time apart solely for the reception of
the children, Mrs. Coolidge, who has
many innovations to her credit, scored
triumphantly. both with the young
sters and their mothers.
Very much at her ease in the pres
ence of children, the first lady, herself
as gay and interested as any of her
guests. had something to say to every
one of the courtesying hundreds who
filed past and shook hands.
1t was great occasion and all the
White House aides "stood by" gor-
geous in their full-dress regalia, just
as they stand when representatives of
kings and potentates are received.
Monday the White House again will
be the rendezvous for childhood when
the famous Easter egg rolling is held.
Never has the writer seen the capt.
tol SO taken IN with feminine confer
ences, congresses, conclaves and collec-
tons.
Mrs. Coolidge a Vote. Getter.
In the course of the week practi-
cally all the women here had chance
to shake hands with Mrs. Coolidge,
one of the biggest odd-lot gatherings
including an Easter-tide excursion of
high school girls from the Northern
Atlantic seaboard states.
With perfectly charming, politi-
cally adroit woman in the White
House, feminine politicians are sage
iy discussing the political effects of
