[} T CHURCH, 16TH AND 0 NEW “FIRST LADY" " TIRELESS WORKER Mrs. Harding Credited With Firmness, But Is of Kind- ly Disposition. Fiorence Kling Harding, the new first lady of the land, possesses an un- usual degree of pluck and outspoken- ness. She has ideas of her own on many subjects and she does not hesi- tate to speak her opinions straight out | frem the shoulder. Those who work || for her count her a kindly and de- lightful mist but they know that any delinquency will call down a rep- rimand they will not soon forget.

During the strenuous days when thousands were marching to the|| front porch of the Harcing residence, on Mount Vernon avenue, she was the most active figure about her hus- band's headquarters. She was beside him every time he spoke at home or away: she shook hands with as many men and women as did he, and she ‘was in and out of his offices from morning until night, rounding up details and giving him advice on all serfous questions before him. Was Heard “Softly Whistling.” Late on the night of the last front porch meeting a newspaper man passing the Harding home saw some one moving about the dark recesses of the big veranda. It was Mrs. Harding, drawing the porch chairs back against the wall for the night and softly whistling a quiet little air of contentment. “You seem happy called across to her. “I surely am,” she replied, “and ;fl'll) shouldn’t 1 be?

Mrs. Harding is a_member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and the Hardings alternate attendance 'be- tween that and the Baptist Church, of which the new President is a mem- ber.
