~ Kindly tell me what is proper

A BALL is usually formal af-
"A. fair. and therefore formal
evening dress is worn by ladies
and gentlemen.
2. Ladies do not usually wear
flowers as a corsage, since this is
inconvenient while dancing. But
nowadays it is fashionable to
wear one or two flowers on the
shoulder, either real or artificial.
3. No. Ladies may dance with
any friend or acquaintance who
invites them to dance.

COOLIDGE BLAZING
OWN TRAILS NOW
Presidents Vigor Impresses
Capitol Hill With Whole
some Respect.
BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

One of the 1926 political prognosti-
cations made In Washington with al
most universal assurance Is that
Calvin Coolidge will strike out on
clear-cut lines of his own before
the year is very old. Men who have
had regular or even occasional, con-
tact with the President during the
past two months have discerned a
different Coolidge.
They say 1t is not "a new Coolidge" "
but the old Coolidge who has visibly
adjusted himseslf to a new environ
ment. That environment is the at
mosphere of complete self-confidence
In which the President finds himself.
as the result OF his immense victory
on November 4. Nearly everybody
who meets Mn. Coolidge nowadays
comes away strongly impressed by
his altered bearing. He comports
himself like a man who is conscious
of new powers and is inclined to use
them.
Capitol Hill Impressed.
Some of the politicians who OBJ
serve the different Coolidge expect
him to become a big-stick wielder.

actual show of hands on the postal
pay veto, when d delegation of Re-
publican congressman paid a recent

| across the path of that project with
a purely American scheme.
One Of the safest forecasts of Cool
idge leadership after March 4, 1925,
Is that he will bend himself with re-
lentless energy in the direction OF
economy. and more and more econo-
my, all along the Federal line. The
President knows in his own mind that
the economy issue, probably more
than any other, gave him his colossal
majority two months ago. When
Texas Democrats will confess, as
some of them to the knowledge of
this writer do confess. that they voted
for Calvin Coolidge because OF his
yetoes of the Bursum pension Dill,
tho bonus bill and the postal pay
bill. it's a fair Indication of why
the Coolidge plurality was rounoly

The President means to live up to
the economy issue to the end Of his
term If his administration can be
stamped as the record money-saving
administration of the era, Calvin
Coolidge will consider that az honor

led the Republic triumphantly In an
other great war The fear of Calvin
Coolidge has unquestionably been

devotec is conscious that expediture
of public funds must bear prima facie
evidence of justification nowadays, to

now is chief watchdog OF the Treas
ury.

LORD ROBERT CECIL
PAYS WILSON HONOR

Tribute was paid Woodrow Wilson
yesterday by the man most closely
associated with him in drafting the
covenant of the League of Nations
and the man who has recently re-
ceived the first award Of the Wood
row Wilson Foundation.
Lord Robert Cecil, Viscount Cecil Of
Chelwood, visited the Bethlehem
Chapel of the Washington Cathedral
yesterday and laid a wreath on the
tomb of Americas wartime Presi-
dent. Accompanied only by Sir Esme
Howard, the British Ambassador,
Bishop James Z. Freeman of the
Episcopal Diocese of Washington, and
Dean G. c. F. Bratenahl of the ca
thedral. Lord Robert Cecil entered
the little chapel beneath which rest
the mortal remains of Woodrow Will
son, paused moment in silent medi-
tation and pleaced a wreath on the
simple slab marked Woodrow Will
son."
The little group of devotees stood
a few moments with heads bowed in
silent prayer and then turned away,
Lord Robert Cecil betraying the
memories that overcome him as he
looked at the slab marking the rest
ing place of the great national lead
er with whom he worked SO closely
toward the goal of international
peace.
The British statesman went to the
chapel after he had been received by
President Coolidge during the Pres
ident's New Year reception at the
White House.
Sunday night in New York Lord
Robert Cecil was the recipient of the
first award of the Woodrow Wilson
Foundation, carrying with it a cash
award of $4,000. With this went the
woodrow Wilson medal. The award
was conferred on Lord Robert Cecil
for meritorious and outstanding serV-
ices toward the goal of world peace
and was given on the anniversary or
the birth of Woodrow Wilson.

made deep dent on Capitol Hill. 1t
confirms the belief OF many OF the
Presidents callers that he Is no
longer afraid" of Congress. Indeed.
the story produces conviction that
he Is about to educate Congress into
being afraid" of him.
Would-be diagnosticians of the
sort of program Mr.. Coolidge will
adopt, when he begins branching out
on his own account, are confessedIy
at sea. There have been few Presi-
dents in our time who kept their
own counsel so resolutely as the
present occupant of the White House.
It's been a long time trait with him.

for their public PRONUNCIATION. Mr..
Coolidge has pretty consistently fol-
lowed that practice since he became
President. or one thing there Is a
fair certainty. He will not go In for
rainbow chasing. He will not cru
sade for the mere purpose OF crusad-
ing. He aims to make the presi-
dency he now holds in his own right
for projects contemplated, but un-
attainable.
Fnyors World Conference.
Exactly that policy, which Is fun
damnetaI with Calvin Coolidge, ap-
plies to the proposal just made by
Senator Borah for an international
economic and disarmament confer
ence. The President is just as per-
suaded OF the necessity of world
agreement on those subjects as the
more temperamental chairman of the
Senate foreign relations committee is.
On the desirability of such confer
ence Coolidge and Borah see eye to
eye. They do not see eye to eye on
the feasibility of such a conference
at this time.
For one thing, the President wants
to give the Dawes plan a chance to
demonstrate it's effectiveness in Eu-
rope. For another, he prefers TO
await the result OF the League of
Nations protocol" scheme for a dis
armament, arbitration and security
