 Mrs. Coolidge Active
 Mrs. Coolidge is as busily engaged in buying and wrapping up Christ mas packages as is the least official resident of the capital. She visits he shops. generally in the early morn ing hours. and is usually accompa- nied by her secretary Miss Mary Ran dolph. Mrs. Coolidge takes things leisurely, stopping along at the var ious counters, choosing handker- chiefs at one. purse or bag at an- other, selecting gay wools and silks for fancy work. and looking especial ly interested in .the various knitted articles on show in the baby depart menta She knits many sacques and pairs of bootees for the babies of her friends and now and then an afghan of intricate pattern. Many of her gifts to others are of the twice. blessed kind and come from the handiwork of disa bled soldiers at Walter Reed. Mount Alto, and St. Elizabeth's or from the hospital for the blind near Baltimore. However, most of her gifts possess the double value of being manufactured by her own fingers and from her own de- signs.
 Plan Gift for First Lady Cabinet women are taking time off from their social duties to meet and talk over a gift for the first lady ; of the land. The custom Of such a ceremony is an old one in the ex- ecutive family, and Mrs. Taft car ried with her to the supreme court dinner at the White House a few nights ago, the gold and jeweled lorgnette presented to her by the wives of her husbands cabinet and she also has necklace and jeweled , bag presented in the same way. These gifts usually take on quite a i personal aspect like something to wear. or carry and are fully inscribed d
 in way to add to their historic value.
