HARD|NG'S WIDOW
LIVES QUIETLY IN
HOTEL APARTMENT
Bereaved Woman Welcomes
Member of FraternaI Order
in Her Home.
Rv RrTH FINNEY

WASHINGTON, March What is
the life today of Mrs. Florence King
Harding, who once played the lead
ing part in the brilliant social pageant
at the White House; who later won
the admiration of the Nation by her
steadfast courage through her hard
ordeal?
One glimpse behind the curtain she
has drawn was granted the other
day by the former first lady.
Mrs Harding is living alone in a
quiet apartment at the Willard Hotel.
She has denied herself to every one
except few intimate friends until
few days ago, when she received
group Of California Congressman rep
resenting the Order of Red Men in
their State, who presented her with
handsome embossed memorial resolu-
lions prepared by their lodge. Presi-
dent Harding was member or the
lodge.
Dressed in Black
Mrs Harding. dressed in simple
black, narrowly black bordered
handkerchief in her hand stood there
beside a table with shaded light shin
ms. down on an exquisite oval minia-
ture OF her husband while Senator
Shortridge read the resolutions ex-
pressing the love of the Red Men for
Brother Warren Harding"
Once her voice broke when she re-
piled, telling of her gratitude. but that
was the only time her quiet composure
was shaken. If part Of the fire and
vigor Of her personality was missing,
II the shadow Of her sorrow lay Wis
ibly on her face, rather white and
thin. she was still the Mrs. HARDING
skilled in ruling herself and in think
ing first of those around her.
Appreciate Resolutions
The expressions Of the man and
women of the country who respected
and loved her husband comfort her
Mrs. Harding said, and all of them
are being cherished. She said she
would write the California lodge to
try and tell them of her apprecia-
ton.
It happened that the day chosen.
was one on which Senate committee
was hearing testimony vindicating the
good name Of the former President
But the political scandal shaking
Washington to its foundations had no
place in that quiet room. They
saeme1 very remote, that white haired
woman in black and the miniature
beside her very safe from the tumult
of life outside.

VIRGINIA KEEN
FOR HARVARD
BATTLE
Charlottesville Boys Are Con.
fident They Can Lick
the Crimson

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va, Oct.
2.--Stiff scrimmases have been the
lot Of the Virginia varsity. elsven In
preparation for the game with Har.
ward. A squad Of twenty-six men
accompanied by coaches and man
ayers win leave for Cambridge ct .
o'clock tonight.
In the first scrimmage against
the first year players on Tuesday
afternoon the regulars gained as
will both through the line and on
running and passing plays around
the ends. And this was done with
out the aid Of several Of the men
who played against Hampden-Sid-
ney and who are being rested 30
that they may be in firstclasD
shape to go against Harvard.
Maphis, Diffey, Frost and Cuddy
still seem to form the best backfield
combination that Coach Neale can
get together and these men will
probably start behind the line
against the Crimson. But Ted Laird
is making strong bid Tor a place
with the regulars and he may yet
win the right to open the play Sat
urday.
+, Just what line combination will
be used is not yet certain, for some
Of the guards and tackles who have
been working well on offense have
not been showing up to advantage
In defensive play. And since Wiz.
ginia expects to be on the defense
against Harvard much of the time
the coaches want to- present their
strongest defensive front.
Light signal practice and dummy
scrimmage will probably be all that
the varsity viii get this afternoon,
and the men win be let off early
in order to pack for the train. II
is expected that the squad will
reach Boston tomorrow in time for
a workout In the afternoon In the
Harvard stadium.
