SATURDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1924 : THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE ‘Coolidge Family Leads Quiet Simple Life aS COOLIDGE LIVING ‘ROOM WHITE HOUSE BAERS. © Shine og by MRS, ALVIN T. HERT, Vice-Chairman, Republican National Committee “The most beautiful house in America is the White House.” This was the comment of a woman who recently paid her first visit to the house in which the Chief Executive of this country lives—and it was a Teal visit. When the messenger boy brought her an invitation to dine informally with President and Mrs, Coolidge, there came to her mind the same picture which would come to any wontan who had read stories of offi- cial life in Washington, The bril- liant state dining room, glittering chandeliers, military aides in smart uniforms, the trappery of the White House, the Marine band playing in the distance— But let her tell her own story, ~ Simplicity Everywhere “Tremendously thrilled, I took the arm which President Coolidge of- fered, with the quick, angular move- ment so characteristic of the man. We entered the quiet, softly lighted dining room. The table was perfect- ly set with linen and crystal, set off with low bowls of late spring flowers, but it was simple and unim- posing. A blackcoated butler was in attendance, but a son of the house drew out his mother’s chair, “Six of us sat down together, four of the name of Coolidge. And in- stead of martial strains, floating in from the portico, the first sound to mect my ear was the quiet voice of the nation’s Chief Executive: ‘Mr. S--, will you say grace?” “The two Coolidge boys had just returned from school, Even then the face of Calvin, Jr., showed the pallor «. his approaching illness, but I attrouted # to.the strain of the EVANGELICAL CHURCH Corner Seventh and Rosser Sts., C, F.

In the eyes of the boys shone hope of good home cookery, after months of absence. Recalling the chef in the White House kitchen, 1 felt a throb of pity for the expect- ant lads. “But my sympathy was wasted. The main dish of the dinner was a thick, juicy beefsteak, perfectly broiled and entirely sorrounded by French fried potatoes, And for dessert we had custard pie—none of your thin, French pastry pies, but one whose golden custard was near- ly two inches thick and smooth as cream, “All four of the Coolidges dis- played a frank interest in this pic, not because they come from New England, but because the White House cook used the recipe supplied | by “Aurora,” housekeeper for Grandfather Coolidge on his Ver- mont farm, “It is not yet as good as Aurora makes’, explained Mrs. Coolidge, ‘but each time it is better. We have hopes.” “Then, with each member of the family contributing an anecdote or a scrap of description, I heard the story of Aurora who after years of service! on the Coolidge farm had been persuaded by a widower-broth- er to join him in a distant town. He was a busy physician and his home needed a mistress. “At the end of a year Aurora an- nounced her desire to resume farm life. On her arrival at the Plymouth farm, she offered this simple ex- dining room Thursday at 2:30 P. M. FIRST LUTHERAN CHURCH Seventh Street and Avenue D. E. F. ALFSON, Pastor. Morning service 10:30.

I asked him if he thought this quite fair to a man who had been out of college so long. Without trace of disrespect he gave me to understand that his father never went stale! “Listening to this family banter, I visualized thousands of America homes to which young people were returning from school, and I hoped that all of the boys and girls could meet such sympathetic understand- ing, such a simple, wholesome at- mosphere as reigned here in the White House. “Dinner over, the President con- ducted us to the northern portico, from which we planned to start on our tour of the White House grounds, those seventeen spreading acres unmarred by artificiality. But a light rain was falling, so we re- mained under the protection of the lofty roof. “Glancing up at the Grinling Gib- bons carving above the doorway, I recalled talk of remodeling, of mod-| « ernizing the White House and the idea assumed the proportions of sac- rilege. I talked, I might almost say I thought aloud of the palaces I had seen in Europe, Windsor, Ver- sailles, the Quirinal, those castles built by the Mad Prince. None of them could conypare with the White House in its chaste colonial beauty and dignity, as a home for our President. “President Coolidge listened gravely. He is a good listener.

I like to walk there now and think of him.’ “His words carried me up the great flight ‘of stairs and through the mist of years into that upper hall where Lincoln paced slowly back and forth—struggling with the problems which besct his day and his people. “We re-entered the White House and passed out on the southern veranda which overlooks the Po- toma. and the Virginia hill Over the iron balustrade, a mass of honeysuckle had flung itself, its pale yellow blossoms drenching the air with exquisite perfume. Just be- yond a magnificent monument shone wanly through the mist. faint lights afar suggested Virginia, 4. lington, the resting place of our Un- known Soldier. “We talked quietly, the two boys, their mother and I. The President apart in the shadows, motion- silent, his exes fixed on the dim outline of Virginia.
