they stood in the main reception lobby
of the White House at 8 o'clock this
morning personally to receive the body
when it arrived on a f1ag-covered
caisson to be placed in position in the
east room. Their presence in the lobby
on that occasion was not only looked
upon as evidence of their affection for
their friend, but as being unusual
inaSmuch as it was the first time in
the memory of older attaches of the
White House that a President and his
wife, on the occasion of a funeral
service at the executive mansion, re-
ceived a body upon its arrival. Here

on such occasions have only attended
the services in the east room.
Last night about o'clock President
Hoover alone went to the east room
where attaches of the White House were
arranging chairs and floral pieces and
personally directed the carrying out of
these details.

today the President upon leaving the
room paused beside the caSket and for
a few seconds looked down upon his
friend. Mrs. Hoover stood close beside
him. Throughout the services the
President sat with his head bowed and
the tears in his eyes was plainly evident.

20 the green room to comfort Mrs.
Good.
After those who attended the service
had left the White House they accom-
panied her into the east room and stood
by the casket silently. Mrs. Good was
there gazing at her husbands face.

dental room at the station and to &C
company it on the special train to
