Two years ago today Calvin
Coolidge stepped from the
4 White House and came home
to Northampton to whittle a
while.
The second anniversary of his return
today found the former President stu
Within on his own doorstep-though
the chips fly a bit farther than they
used to years ago.
Today, too, it's a different doorstep
from that of the simple, rented house
from which he stepped into public lie
and to which he returned two years
ago. But it's his own, and here, SEEM
ingly, he's content to remain Within
for while longer.

More Ambitious Home.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge came
back to Northampton from Washing
ton two years ago, they moved quietly
into the house at 81 Massasoit street
which they had called home for many
years. Since then Mr. Coolidge has
bought and moved into new home
the Beeches, and there he leads the
quiet life of local business man.
Nearly 81 years ago Mr.. Coolidge
entered the life of this city as a prac-
ticinp LAWYER. Two years later, with his
election as a city councilman, he started
upon the career that eventually carried
him to the presidency. Only when ne
turned over the White House TO MS
successor was he entirely free OF the
responsibilities of public office: And
these who know him say that ne mas
found the freedom not unpleasant.
