and its crown full of letters. teIe-
grams, for the still pictures but es-
pecially for all the motion picture
news reels. The President was very
! nice indeed and took this ordeal
with a great deal of quiet dignity
and courtesy. responding immed-
lately to all the requests of the
cameramen. and falling naturally
into their suggested poses. We all
thought he was especially nice and
very pleasant and manly sort of
about it all. After the countless
pictures, the President smiled again
and shook hands with a few OF us
and took his leave.
Then there were lots and lots oil
pictures of me alone, waving the
hat. talking. showing off the NAL
lson Yellowstone dress. and then
of the four girls and myself.
The most unexpected and to me
the greatest possible treat came
then, ] thought, when Mrs. Winter,
who of cours you know was in
charge Of all the plans and looked
after the tiniest details, led us over
to the White House. Just think of
that. You know the President and
Mrs. Coolidge are moving and TO
have the honor of a special appoint
ment in the White House on the
very day of moving, was a great
honor and courtesy, and I think no
other woman but Mrs. Coolidge
would have consented to stop her
own plans at such a time.
She stood alone in the famous
Blue Room and an aide asked us
our names and passed us in single
file up to Mrs. Coolidge. After
the formal introductions and pre-
sensations. we again formed into
another semi circle. in front of the
first lady, and 1 never before real
lied what being the first lady
meant. Mrs. Coolidge ia all that
the words mean. 1 made my speech
when l stepped up and presented
Mrs. Coolidge with the Stampede
handkerchief. which she at once
most graciously insisted upon put
ting right IN. and asked me to tie
for her In the proper cowboy man
ner. She was perfectly angelic. Then
Mrs. Mondell, whom of course you
all know has the most gracious and
charming manner in the world, call
ed Mrs. Coolidge's attention to my
Yellowstone dress, and she admired
IL very sweetly. said the makers
and sent her some of the silk, and
h thought is most attractive and
a fine idea Then she smiled and
shook hands with us and left the
room.
Mrs. Coolidge is the most charm
ing and radiant of women and 1
know the Cody folks will like to
hear a little about her personally.
She isn't very large, with tiny feet
and ankless slender and not tall.
She wore the much admired ruby
Wine colored suit. with sort of ruby
patent leather shoes and stockings
TO match, and the daintiest, laciest
white blouse. Her hair gives the
effect of black with white dashes,
instead of gray. and of course it
gis perfectly dressed. She is ex-
tremely handsome when animated.
which she was the whole time and
her movements are quick and ex-
tremely graceful. As l said she is
enchanting ana deserves the admira-
ton of the nation.
TIE President has a way of fore
inf you to the realization of aloof
or reserved power and strength.
Right after this we went to Con-
gresham Winters office and sent
YOU the kilograms. For we thought
they would arrive in time to be
read at the Buffalo Bill banquet
and we wanted you to know of the
success OF the presentation. at once.
Well after the White House re-
be a feature for the banquet.
