Second at Seward Contracting A WASHINGTON BYSTANDER By HERBERT PLUMMER WASHINGTON.. — Mrs. Calvin Coolidge has changed her gewn— and by popular demand. Not the Mrs. Coolidge of North- ampton and “The Beeches,” but the Mrs. Coolidge who. stands with oth- | s er First Ladies in the famous cos- tume collections at the Smithson- ian Institution. All of the former mistresses of the White use . stand arrayed ir. the Smithsonian in a gown worn |at some state function.

Mrs. Coolidge sent as her contri- bution a. long-skirted white satin gown. Visitors to the collection— fard, incidentally, it is one of the most popular—began, to; omplain that Mrs. Coolidge ‘didn’t look like herself. Would She Change? Mrs. Sol Bloom, wife of the New { York congressman, heard of these complaints. They were so numer- ous that she decided to appeal to Mrs. Coolidge herself. Would the. former First Lady, suggested Mrs. Bloom, consider sub- I;slitutmg a certain rose red gown which she had worn on a certain important occasion for the white satin? Mrs. Coolidge agreed. The gown, with slippers, hosiery and all ac- companying equipment, was for- {warded to Washington." But, while Mrs. Coolidge was willing that the |change be made, she insisted that |the original gown must be kept in the Smithsonian collection. There was a promise that she Ihad to fulill, Then . she revealed. how in the jearly days of her stay at the White House she needed a gown for a special occasion. The modiste from whom she ordered it kept his staff working after hours that it ruight be ready in time. { Mrs. Coolidge was grateful and with one of those gestures which {mede her so popular in Washing- ton, promised: Promise Fulfilled. “When T send a gown to be dis- played with the gowns of other White House hostesses, it will be the one you made for me.” So now, in a collection that de- ;picts the complete sartorial history of . this ;.
