Let US take the words of Miss Ma
caulay regarding this story: The
brief pageant, the tiny. squalid story
of human life upon this earth. has
been lit, among the squalor and the
greed, by amazing flashes of intelli-
gence. Of valor, OF beauty. OF sacri-
fee, of love. A silly story if you
will. but a somewhat remarkable one.

Boudoir Mirrors of Washington KLING PROVED
 HER LOYALTY TO WARREN

When Amos Kling, banker, opposed the marriage of his daughter to th' struggling editor of the Marion Star he couldn't be blamed for emitting the White House from his calcula tions Twenty years ago it is doubtful il Warren G. Harding had allowed hi. ] fleeting fancy to roam that far. l AS mater of fact the lamentet president was never an ambitious man He was of a contented mind. Ht 1 liked the quiet harbor where his barl was mOored and was content to sigma friendly greeting or a timely warning to the big ships sailing far out on tht tumultuous political seas. He took life as he found it-and liked it. He was neither an adventurer nor re former.
 Mrs. Harding had determined father, accustomed to obedience in his children Flarence inherited some oi this virtue. She showed it when Mir Kling issued this ultimatum:
 You must make your choice-you1 father, or Warren Harding Which is it to be-" There wasn't any hesitation. .
 Florences decision laid the corner stone of President Harding's political career. It is said that even in those early Marion days she heard the dis. tant call to him and felt the lure of the great unknown. Always she be- lieved in him, encouraged him and some times urged him. An, who can tell what dreams she dreamed for him as she mended his socks on the little front porch that was destined for a place in the history of America
 Was Circulation Manager Politics so often follow prosperity haven't you noticed that? When the paper began to pay, politics beckoned the genial editor. Mrs. Harding saw the gesture. and nodded. It was her whitegloved hand that pointed stop and .go" through the paths that led from the Ohio state legislature to the United States Senate.
 In those old days. when she was cir culation manager of the paper, as all the world knows, she used to ride a bicycle, and pedal home half an hour before her husband in order to broil the steak. No buffers then; not even Il servant. The first butler arrived on the scene after the nomination..
 When Mrs, Harding first arrived in Washington as a senator's wife, she be- came on a stretcher-an invalid. But as first lady she returned in the tri- umph of health. Even as senator's wife she always wore her clothes well. She is neat, and I always imagine her hairpins in graduated rows in box, and her pins stuck in patterns on the cushion.
 Mrs. Harding was never content to be on the fringe of things. Whether it was running newspaper or running q nation she wanted to keep her fingers on the pulse. Her autobiography would not be brilliant with epigrams nor would it make ripe reading for the blase. 1t would be the chronicle of ar intelligent woman. who had trieG earnestly and honestly to do her jot in life as she saw it. If she had ambi ton certainly it was not for herself The limeliSht always made her winct little.

She must have stopped for, breath as you came in. I'm going to complain to the landlord and have them put out. It's terrible to have to listen to such things.

Neither in dress nor in modes or manners did she follow breathlessly the pace set by the ultra progressives. Nor did she stay begged in the mud of medievalism. Mrs. Wash ington introduced ice cream on the American menu but no new dish is cerdfted to Mrs. Harding although she is somewhat celebrated as a cook. 1 The effort among some couturieres to create a vogue for Florence Harding blue" failed because Mrs. Harding wore black. .s.. .f.f1 She was natural almost to the point of being naive. There was something sweet and distinctly feminine about the way in which she conducted her first shopping tour to New York after she became our First Lady. It was almost as if she had brought "a bit of Main street and ponaked it down right into Peacock Alley.

 But She Laughed Afterward.
 She was always most generous and most understanding. TY0 mated they were preparing to motor from Washington to Marion and their car was parked in the back yard while final preparations for the journey were being made.
 The cook, an amiable soul, had, been left on guard but not being acclaimed to the new presidential atmosphere she forgot her vigil and left her post to gossip with the chauffeur next door. Seizing this unhoped for opportunity, newspaper photographers, assigned to the task of getting closeup of the President-elect, cautiously lowered the top of the car.
 Mrs. Harding, passing the kitchen window at the moment. was startled to see the top slowly collapse, and the next instant the cook, too, was back on the job.
 "Who lowered that top:' came in severe tones.
 These were men who had been deco rated for valor in France but their courage evaporated instantly. They didn't wait to dig themselves in but their heels were visible one brief in- stant ns they disappeared over the fence.
 And even as they ran Mrs. Harding was remonstrating with the cook.
 Think of those boys being so clever,'' she said, "they really deserved that picture"
 And those same boys never knew how she felt about it.
