o'clock to the strains of the Marine
Band playing the customary Hail
to-the-Chief.
White House aides in summer

swords an everything, preceded
them to the usual PLACE on the
lawn, where President and Mrs.
Hoover took their stand. And
Col. Campbell Hodges. Military
Aide to the President, began pre-.
senting the guests.
Later Colonel Hodges was re-
lie.e1 by Comdr. Robert Munroe,
Naval aide to the President. The
other aides-a dozen all told
distributed themselves around The
grounds, adding decorative
touch to the gathering.
As Usual
The President and Mrs. Hoover
stood in the shade Of a large tree
on the west side of the lawn.
To the left OF the President was
a small, low mahogany table
upon which was a tall vase
OF deep pink roses-and later
there was added a heavy carved
cane presented by a member of
the G. A. r.
The veterans were received
first. Their number was smaller
than decentralization having
taken many back to normal life
and death having taken ita toll.
There were several wheel-chair
cases to whom special attention
was paid by the hosts, nurses
and high officials.
Each year the number of vet
Grams at this garden party has
grown smaller-ever since its
initiation during the last year of
President Wilson's Administra-
ton. It has been an annual
event since then with the onnis-
sion of last year due to the frail
health of Mrs. Coolidge at the
time.
The Marine Band played through
the afternoon, its stand tucked
away behind the shrubbery, spe-
cializing in soldier songs and such
martial hymns as coward Chris
tian Soldiers" Sandwiches, ices,
cake and lemonade were served
from gayly striped marques set
about under the trees. And groups
OF pretty girls wandered about
bearing trays Of cigarettes for the
soldiers. The fountain toward
the south end Of the lawn show
cred its foamy spray throughout
the afternoon.
Summer Uniform"
The President wore the citizens
summer uniform dark blue coat
and white flannel trousers and
white shoes. His Panama hat
with q black band he held in his
left hand during the reception.
Mrs. Hoover was gowned in
lowered chiffon with a design
of reddish roses, green and beige
on dark ground. This was fash
toned on a simple, graceful lines
with a long-sleeved bodice and a
skirt Of uneven hem-line. Her
hat was medium-sized model in
black straw. And her shoes were

with which she wore hose of a
neutral tint. She had no gloves.
Vice President
Vice President Curtis, with Mr..
and Mrs. Edward Everett Gam,
came early. The latter was
gowned in printed chiffon in rose
and gray, the former her favorite
shade. With this she wore a
gray chiffon coat and q small

The President and Mrs. Hoover Are
Hosts at Garden Party for Veterans
Chief Executive and First
Lady Entertain at the
White House Disabled
Soldiers and Sailors of
World War

President Hoover stood
with Mrs. Hoover on the
close-cropped green grass of
the south lawn Of the White
House yesterday afternoon
and graciously welcomed the
guests attending the garden
party given in honor. of the
disabled veterans of the
world war.
President Hoover sat
on the sawed-off limb of
dead tree nearby and
watched with aloofness the
maneuvers of the human
beings below. For while he
was quite accustomed to al
fresco life, this was un-
doubtedly his first official
fete.
What Next?
At times he seemed to like it.
And ut other times he seemed
to be very uncertain If it was
worth his staying on. But still it
was risky to come down with
30 many people around. So he
remained up in his tree until
the party was over, attracting
rs much attention as the Chief
Executive and First Lady.
This namesake of the Presi-
dent is the small 'possum that
ventured into the White House
grounds some weeks ago and

Family.
Some thought that he was
