Naturally, the plight of President || Harding's official family in relation i!to maintaining a home commensurate with the dignity of the office makes {]a strong appeal to Mrs. Harding, and she {s making a strenuous effort to ease the situation. She counsels only i|the least pretentious dinings when ilthe cabinet members must entertain the President and herself, and, con- i | sidering that half of these functions must be staged in a much-over- : |crowded hotel; it would seem to be of necessity. This condition should also appeal to the law-makers who have the wellbeing of the capital in their keeping.

The wives of senators and of members of the House would no doubt be glad to emulate this example and memorialize their spouses on this very subject. The most comforting news which has come. out of Europe of late is that young Willlam B. Leeds, who rebently married the Russian princess Zenia, made a pre-nuptial stipulation that she must become plain Mrs. Leeds, wife of an American business man, and that all the fuss and feathers about highnesses and royal rights must be consigned to the past. | The princess apparently consented, and when she comes to this side, as she will when a prolonged honeymoon 18 over and when a series of farewell Vvisits to her illustrious kindred comes to an end, she must be content with the role assigned, or if she craves the titles of her past state she c: over that of “tin-plate que husband suc W . eds, as “tin-plate king.” As the fortunes of the Russian princess’ | family were totally annihilated, she drove a good bargain, even if e must renounce all the state in.w she had been reared. But thos ought to know assert that she was as genuinely in love with the rather callow youth who will inherit the many millions acquired through culi- nary needs as the former Mrs. Leeds was with the gallant Prince Christo- pher of Greece. Princess Christopher | struck a new note for ambitious Americans who long to mate with royalty when she declared that an American lady, well dowered, was equal in every way to any European princeling who came woolng. And the royal @ouse of Greece, after thinking it over, decided that she was, especially when she came with her hands laden with gold, so much Pearl Necklaces.
