The President has indicated that he
IS SolrS to be away from Washington

old Coolidge homestead, at Plymouth.
VI. Just how long he and Mrs. Cool
idGe will stay in Plymouth or whether
they will go there before going to
Swampscott or later, the President
has not said.
Although President Coolidge has
been referring to his going to Swamp
scott as a vacation. those close to the
President are inclined TO think that
he will run true TO form and mix in
considerable business with this vaca-
ton.
Will Open Offices.
This belief is substantiated by the
fact that the President is to open
an executive Office in Lynn. which is
on the north shore. three miles from
Swampscott. These offices will COM
floor of the Security and Trust Build
ing. at Central Square, Lynn. These
rooms are part of the suite used by
the Lynn Chamber of Copmerce and
have been turned over to the Presi-
dent during his sojourn on the north
shore. The Presidents suite will in
Clude one immense, handsomely fur
nished room. which will be used by
Everett Sanders. secretary to the
President. with a large desk in the
center for President Coolidge when he
comes to the offices. On one side of
this room will be the telegraph and
telephone room. which will be oper
ated by White House keymen. There
will be three rooms for assistant sec
retarieS, stenographers and clerks.
one to be used for the reception of
visitors and one for the newspaper
correspondents and secret service
men. There will be one room used
exclusively as a file room and the
iudications are now that it is the
Presidents intention of taking more
than half of the present executive
office employees TO Swampscott TO
work.
Some of the Presidents friends
with whom he has been discussing his
vacation plans are of the opinion that
he will not be back in Washington be-
fore Labor day, September {. They
also believe he and Mrs. Coolidge will
make their Plymouth journey just
before returning to the Capital.
White Court Charming.
One of the Presidents assistants has
Just returned from the North shore,
where he has been making arrange
ments for the establishment of the
Summer White House there. and his
account of White Court, the name
of the estate where the presidential
family win live. and the Immediately
surrounding country was most glow
ing. According TO him. White Court
is ideally situated and arranged for
the Presidents purposes. 1t will be
possible for him and the members OF
his family to enjoy themselves and at
The same time have the greatest
amount of privacy.
1t has been determined that the
President will receive at White Court
only those personally invited and those
who first call at the temporary execu-
tive office in Lynn and have the visit
arranged by Secretary Saunders after
receiving the approval of the Presi-
dent.
Another point incident to the vaca-
ton trip yet TO be determined is
whether or not the President and his
family will make the journey from
Washington to Swampscott on the
Yacht Mayfiower or by train.
