in his own way. It was not an efustve
way but an observing one.
Both Mr., and Mrs. Coolidge have al
ways been fond of pets. They en-
joyed the many pets that came to them
in Washington. Most Of these they
could not bring home. But they have
canary and two dogs, besides Mrs.
Goodhue's terrier, Beans.
New Collie Is Deaf.
Mrs. Coolidge has her red chow, Ter
rible Tim. When Mr.. Coolidges white
collie died he had become so attached
to it that he asked the man who gave
it to him for another. But the new
collie is deaf This has been dlsap-
pointment to Mr.. Coolidge:
"A dogs not much use, ne lamenteo,
to a friend. IF you can't talk to II"
Mr.. Coolidge certainly looks relaxed
and unmarried now after nine months
in Northampton. He tells his FRIENDS
he is content and happy to be BACK
home. Mrs. Coolidge, as all who see
in her resumed routine of neighborhood
life will testify, is radiant to take up
the home town lite where she left IL on.
She recently presided at booth Tor
a bazaar at the Edwards Congrega :
tional Church, fitting as naturally INTO
the picture as in her days OF ooscurlty.
Almost every Sunday she and Mr.. Cool
idge attend the Edwards Church IN
their old pew.
Mrs. Coolidge makes the shopping
rounds with her friend and neighbor
Mrs. r. B. Hills, nowise differently than
in the old days before Washington.
When the Coolidges came back to
Northampton it was without definite
intention of staying. Mrs. Coolidge S
mother was in her final illness. and

a public affair he has it understood dis
tinctly that he is not to be called on.
But even then he has to sit usually and
listen to other people making speeches
about him. II he Is not in their pre-
pared speeches they injectshim to prove
whatever 1t is they are proving. Mr..
Coolidge stands this very well, but he
doesn't court it. though in reminiscence
such an episode appeals to his sense OF
humor.
The Coolidges keep the hours Of a
small town. Up early, they have break
tasted before s. Dinner is at IL and
supper soon after 6. Mr.. Coolidge Is in
bed little after 10 unless a particular
occasion keeps him up.
When he was just Western Massa-
chusettS lawyer meeting of the Ver-
mont Association in Boston or the Mid
dlesex Club was an event to relieve his
now would be one more public occasion,
one more inroad upon such time as he
can salvage for his own.
He has made no speeches since he
came home. To that extent he has sue
cessfully resisted the pressure of mis-
position. People hound him to make
speeches. His daily mail is deluge of
invitations.
Speechmaking a Drudgery.
Speechmaking to Mr.. Coolidge is
drudgery. And he is doing no more
writing. He wrote out his own expert
ence, to tell people what he was think
ing about, as the background of his
public record. And he has written one
review of a book that appealed to him
a recent life of Daniel Webster.
But writing does not appeal to him
as a career to cap his public service.
He has refused invitations to join edi-
torial stats.
So Mr.. Coolidge is still looking for a
Job, actively turning over in his mind
the big question of his future. He is
yet reasonable way short of so, and
a man, like his father, who ages only
imperceptibly from one decade to the
next
Plenty of people would think they
had job If they put in the routine
office hours that Mr. Coolidge does. He
is at work soon after o'clock, debating
to one or the other of his two secretaries
through much of the morning. sitting
the appointments asked of him, re-
jecting politely the requests to make
speeches. replying to the questions and
requests of friends and public men. and
seeing the people who come to see him.
At IL o'clock, when Main street bust
ness men close their Offices or leave
one assistant to tide over the noon hour,
Mr.. Coolidge goes home to dinner.
Invariably Rests After Dinner.
Mrs. Alice Reckahn, who has kept
house for the Coolidges almost since
their first housekeeping, still presides

month after month it was necessary
for Mrs Coolidge to be constantly at
her bedside This restricted the Cool
idgeS activities at home. while the
unforeseen burden of being an ex-
President was pressing upon Mr.. Cool
idge at the office.
The old apartment at 81 Massasoit
street was a snug At for the family of
four in the early days of the Coolidge
occupancy. 1t is too snug a fit now.
Mr.. Coolidge cannot even gather his
books about him in the crowded sitting
room. He has not accommodation to
entertain his friends. His many me-
mentoes of the White House days are
mostly in storage warehouses.
He has spoken of needing a larger
house, and somehow the word got out.
and now what Mr.. Coolidge doesn't
know about architects terms and build
ers' propositions isn't anything you can
send through the mail But he is not
man to make the first move sug-
gested.
The question of a larger house is tied
up necessarily with that of a larger
job. 1t is no secret among his friends
that Mr.. Coolidge has hoped to find a
productive occupation for himself He
has not lacked offers, and alluring ones.
of his position as former President of
this country has been the obstacle tina:
prevented his taking any one of sew
eral proffered places.
Law Loses It's Appeal.
Mr.. Coolidge's conscience in this mat
ter is certainly far more limiting than
any criticism he would have any reason
to expect from the American people

over the kitchen. now with another
girl to help in the somewhat more
formal life of the Coolidge household.
After dinner Mr.. Coolidge invariably
rests, and usually has nap, a practice
he followed during his entire period in
the presidency He is back at the office
soon after 2 o'clock and keeps his secre-
taries busy until 4:30 or later.
In the early period of his return
he spent much ONCE time receiving
former neighborS Of the downtown COM
munity. These little reunions gave him
real pleasure, and they continue to fur
njsh him relaxation and contentment.
He enjoys shaking hands with old &C.
quaintanceS who drop in out of his
Washington career for a visit. In these
meetings Mr.. Coolidge is an informal
and entertaining host. He talks easily
when he is in the mood for talk. and
gives callers every appearance of en-
joying the chance to chat about his own
experiences, and even his present prob
lens and conjectural future.
Probably he smiles more easily and
often than he did In the strain of the
White House. At any rate he lights
up his conversation with frequent and
infectious smiles. Some of them could
better be described as grins. When
he talks he smokes and invites his
caller to share the smoking. His cigars
are no longer the economical stogies for
which Mr.. Coolidge was famous in his
days in Massachusetts, politics. They
are rich Havana cigars and he is not
sparing of them. He uses an ivory
cigar holder.
Treats Papers Equally.
Mr.. Coolidge feels that if any state
ment of his is worth an interview it
should be given equally to all papers.
competition for scoops.
He never has any objection to having
his picture taken, but photographers
sometimes find him a formidable sub
iect At a recent local ceremony Mr..
Coolidge saw Northampton photogra-
pher who had known him long.

affably.

addressed outside his home town.
The pressure of the public upon him
in his unof1cial position has made his
old neighbors somewhat constrained
about approaching Mr.. Coolidge with
the old familiarity.
Mr.. Coolidge was always neighborly

This office Is the screen between Mr..
Coolidge and the public.
He has carefully selected the public
events he has attended. He went to
the recent New England conference
because he felt he should lend such a
community effort the encouragement Of
his presence.
He went to the dedication of Bryant's
homestead In Cummington and to an
odd home day" at Southampton. Both
were meetings of appropriate interest
to him in his capacity as president OF
the American Antiquarian Society.

humor that he can say now to any one
who addresses him as mfr. President"

He Is probably unconsciously circum-
scribing the result to what the Amer

dents.
Grover Cleveland, in troubled BUSH
ness period, found task in rehabili-
tating an important business to public
confidence. Mr.. Taft found a chair
waiting in his own university before
the Supreme Court chief justiceship be-
came vacant. Mr.. Roosevelt found
nothing to satisfy his energy.
Mr.. Coolidge has so far lacked the
luck of Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Cleveland. To
go back to the law would not appeal
to him. Had he ceased being Presi-

might have filled his need for executive

He goes to New York once month
to attend the meetings of the directors
of life insurance company and to the
occasional meetings of the philanthropy
which he and former Gov. Alfred E.
