The itinerary, somewhat chang

elderly woman dressed in the
style known as d-Victorian.
She had arrived that morning on
a sightseeing trip from a nearby
state, had read in the society col
umn that Mrs. Hoover was "at
home" that afternoon and ignoring
the additional line, "to members
of the Women's Press Club" she
had decided to have a glimpse of
the lady who has every prospect of
presiding in the White House.
When the wives of officials are "at
home" by announcement in the
paper any well behaved woman
might call, so she understood.
All of which she explained In
precise phrases to Mrs. Hoover
who listened quietly and then re-
piled that her unexpected caller
quite welcome. Would she
step into the dining room and have
a cup Of tea?
The delighted visitor promptly
removed her bonnet and laid 1t on
the piano. Then, having had her
tea, she took up her position on =

or all the women in the United
~ States, none faces the delicate
situations which constantly con
front the First Lady of the Land.
One characteristic which has en-
deared Mrs. Coolidge to women
who have visited the White House
and women who wish they might
meet the Presidents wife but
must be content to read in the
newspapers of her graciousness,
has been her tact.
1t is therefore interesting to dis
cover that Mrs. Hoover possesses
the same happy faculty. 1t was
shown just before she and Secre-
tary Hoover left for Palo Alto for
the notification ceremonies. Each
year the more prominent women
of Washington and especially those
in official circles give teas for the
Women's Press Club. The mem
bership of this club is limited to
women writer's for the Washington

FOR COMPLETE
TEST WELL PENDING

Negotiations leading to the drill
ing of a new deep test well on the
Poplar Dome appear to be actively
under way, according to develop
ments during the past two weeks.
Four large companies have the
matter under consideration, and
are checking up reports and infor-
nation preparatory to any active
operations, and any one of these
deals, if concluded, will mean a
complete test here, without hav-
ing to provide more than o%ne-third
of the money for it locally.
This preparatory work of neces-
Sity takes time, as such a well is
considerable of an undertaking,
but it appears that the Community
