Mrs. Coolidge conducts these little
meetings in the most natural and in
formal manner, having pleasant con-
versation with every one, and finally
accompanying them to the cozy little
tea table arranged in one corner of
the room beside the fireplace, where
cheerily blaze a few logs. Not in
frequently she presses the guest to
try one of the dainty cakes. saying
that the White House cook makes
such delicious ones. The gracious
mistress of the mansion wears
charming, but never elaborate, after
noon dresses on these occasions, and
always sets them of with some ap-
propriate touch OF COSTUME jewelry,"
such as chain and pendant, with
earrings to match, or a chain and
bracelet.
Mrs. Coolidge declares that Of all

has been associated In Washington

of youth to back her in this, and
whether steaming down the Potomac
on the Mayfiower with the President
and friends aboard, roofing" at ball
games like the world serbs, or SIM
ply walking at brisk gait in
steady, even, swinging stride, one
glories in her animation, the vitality
of which shines in her every feature
and is betrayed in her every move.
She is q graceful skater on ice and
dances wonderfully well.
Mrs. Coolidge can no more help
roofing" at a ball game than she
can help smiling. She just has to
root" and instead of the President,
with all his false reputation for aus
terity, glaring down upon her or try
ing to suppress her, he 'thuses up
with her and they both root" as
cheerily as any of the other famous
fans about them.
