 Dozens of Outfits Because of these requirements and her love for fine clothes, the dress bills of Mrs. Coolidge undoubtedly have run into the thousands since she took lip her residence at the White House 20 months ago. She has dozens of outfits and most of them ars very handsome and be- coming. They're strictly American models but they mean real money. Mrs. Coolidge does most of her hHyinE at an exclusive Washington shop which thinks nothing of eharg~ iag from sSs to s4o for ths plainest little sport fsls hat.
