New Contributor
to Harding
Fund

WY ASHINGTONIANS, TO whom
M President Harding's fay-
w orite dog, Laddie Boy. is
a real person, will be interested
in learning that his name Is to be
listed among the contributors to
the Harding Memorial Associa.
ton Fund. A check for $4,000
has been sent to the Association
by Mrs. Charles H. Ditson, OF
New York, with the following
"It occurs to me that one Of Mr..
Harding's best friends is not in q
position to contribute to the fund
and I am, therefore, sending q
small contribution in the name OF
Laddie Boy, as 1 think he should
be remembered in this memorial
to his beloved master"
A little story about dogs, written
by Mrs. Ditson and sent to Presi-
dent Harding in 1924, brought q
reply from the White House In
which Mr.. Harding expressed his
love of dogs. LatVH Mrs. DitsOn
received a photograph of Laddie
Boy, inscribed in Mrs. Harding's
handwriting: "Laddie Boys thanks
and greeting"
ERIENDS of Mrs. Harding-and
Il they are legion in Washing
ton--are rejoicing at having her
again in town, but so far not
very many have had opportunity
10 see her. She has been con.
siderably occupied with business,
but has received a few visitors in
town who could persuade her
secretary that their stay was to
be brief and that this would be
their one opportunity to pay their
respects to the former Mistress OF
the White House. Mrs. Atlee
Pomerene, wife of the former
Senator from Ohio, who was Mr..
Hardirlg's colleague when he was
in the, Senate, was among those
who had audience with Mrs.
Harding recently.
For the rest, knowing her in
domitable energy and her tendency
to do more than her strength per-
mits, her intimates-people like
General and Mrs. Sawyer, Mrs.
Harry New and the George Chris
tians-are trying to keep her from
doing much.

negotiating for a Rolls Royce car
with the intention of making an
exchange for the locomoOile pur-
chased privately by the late Presi-

death and scarcely used at all.
