yHE PRESIDENT AND MRS.

TIME PRESIDENT AND MRS.
COOLIDGE, who went to
New York today to attend
the Lincoln Day dinner Of the
Republican Club tonight. are ac-
companied by the Postmaster
General and Mrs. New, Congress-
man and Mrs. Bertrand Smell, c.

President; Edward G. Clark, Mr..

his physician, Comdr. joel T.
Boone. The little party is return.
ing Immediately after the ban.
TO speak. They will leave New
York at midnight, reaching Wash
1ngton In the morning.
This engagement was not can
celed when the President and
Mrs. Coolidge abandoned all So
cial activity out Of respect for
the memory Of the late President
Wilson, since the Lincoln Day
banquet is regarded as a patriotic
0bservance-and presumably the
President looks upon speech-nak-
ing as business rather than pleas
ure.
nR. AND MRS. ALEXANDER
~ HAMILTON RICE, Of New
York and Newport. who are at
the Hamilton Hotel for a few
days, are among the most inter-
esting visitors who have found
their way to Washington in a
long time. DIR. Rice is widely
known as a sciNptist and explorer
and it will be remembered that
Mrs. Rice accompanied him on
one of his most ambitious jour-
neys Of discovery, g. voyage up
the Amazon to it's headwaters.
Thisa believe, was shortly after
their marriage, which was an
event of no little interest to the
social world in several cities.
Mrs. Rice was an EIkins-Elea-
nor misunderstanding to the
branch of the Elkins family which
has long been prominent in Phil
adelphia and the vinicity, and
her first husband was one Of the
the Philadelphia Wideners. DR..
Rice is famous surgeon as well
as an explorer anu uuTlHS the wax
he did notable work in France,
first in connection with the So
ciete des Secours Blesses Militaires
and later with the American
Ambulance at Neuilly.
DIR. Rice has devoted much
time to exploration, mapping and
scientific Investigations Of trop-
ical South America; and has made
many important biological and
medical discoveries. He is a fell
low Of the Royal Geographic So
ciety and of the Societie Geo
graphique, as well as of our own
National Geographic Society; and
has been awarded all manner OF
medals and decorations.
DIR. and Mrs. Rice make their
home for the greater part Of the
year at ''Miramar," their beauti.
full estate at Newport, and enter
tain very lavishly and beautifully.
They go back and forth to South
America as often and as uncoHl-
cernedly as most people com.
mute between Washington and
New York, for they have business
as we'll as scientific interests
there.
