Harding al- ways insisted in keeping in close touch with the people, it s her devotion to her husband that is given credit for much of his success in life. She was constantly with him, and urging him on to higher honors, which resulted in the fulfiliment of a statement made on her wedding day, when she said she would make him President.” She was constantly death parted them. No former mistress of the White House ever lived in such®close per- sonal touch to the American people as did the widow of President Harding. In the months during which she presided over the social affairs of the nation she met thousands of persons—men, !\women ana children—and it s sate to.say that not one of them went away without feeling that she had a personal interest in them. She planned her social life in the White House on a gigantic s in a manner to more than sati people and vet relieve Harding of much social Her invalldism quring the years Pres- ident Harding was in the Senate barred her from active part in the social life of the capital, but It was a period rich in observation, many women of the Senate circle, knew of her iIncapacity for routine soclal life, golng to her when she could not come to them and keeping her in close touch with everything pertaining to the life here. Mrs. Harding was a prodigious newspaper reader and the society columns were a part of her daily pleasures, as she called them. Fitted for Dutles. All of this fitted her admirably to take up her duties as the first lady of the land without a qualm of fear v the least aversion to a duty. She secured the services of Miss Laura Harlan, daughtr of the late Justice John M. Harlan of Kentucky and the late Mrs. Harlan, and, leaning upon her and a corps of stenographers and typewrite Mrs., Harding started in on her gigantic campaign to know the people and let them know her. She wished every citizen of the United States to feel that they were welcome the White House, and she took means to this end as far as possible. Just how wisely her conceptions worked is shown by printed records. While she received thousands of men and women in the blue. red or green room at the White House by special appointment, she met hundreds of thousands through her well arranged plan of greeting delegations, taking the pressure off the President in most ses, and yet more than satisfying the public. ~No matter what the or- zanization happeed to be, if it was of sufficient interest to enlist a few hundred members Mrs. Harding con- sidered it worth her time. with him until e introducing some- - to Washington in nty Bet Bead the child: Just 1& to make any child S0 strong made will resist the un- ir to which strenu- ing _will _subject The colors are Blue, arl Silver, and s of a Neck- acelet.

Mothers stopped with her as they hurriedly passed before her to look into her eves—such frank, good eves they were—and perhaps tell her a word about “my boy in a hospital,” or about “my ‘girl, who is in_the movies or on the concert stage,” or perhaps it would be some genuinely homely subject, like everyday house- keeping, in which the world knew that the first lady of the land was unex- celled CHASTLETON somely Furnished 4 Rooms and Batl ive Special Rates September 15th Hostess to Soldiers. Most unusual of all of Mrs. Hard- ing’s soclal life were her two big gar- den parties for the wounded soldiers in hospitals in and near Washington, given on the White House lawn and | when she had as her chief assistant the President himself. Dozens of times she drove away from the White | Touse and instead of taking the syl- | an drives of Rock Creek Park or the more rugged highways of Maryland or Virginia went to visit the men in the hospital and try to cheer them up. On one of these trips she learned that the once husky heroes were like little children about candy, and aft- | er that she had a good. old-fashioned taffy or fudge manufactured in the White House kitchens and sent to them at intervals. She bought their little handicraft pleces, and there are perhaps dozens of homely little gifts like baskets, needle books and bead | work in her personal effects today.

She never failed to outline the simple and yet complex domestic life of the White House for her woman visitors, and while, with her secretary, she discussed matters, pertaining to the grandees whom she necessarily entertained, it was the great mass of Americans, men, women and children, for whom she gave her time and strength. The Tea to Woman Writers. Mre. Harding gave a tea for woman writers one afternoon and talked to them just as she might have spoken to her most intimate friend, giving them a great insight into, not the woman of the White House, but Flo- rence Harding herself. She asked themn, as she did on entering the White House, not .to be quoted, but perhaps there is no breach of faith in telling of her frank confes- sion that the thing that hurt her most was in being barred from help. ing her friends professionally.

For this precedent Mrs, Harding showed the most profound respect and only in minor matters did she change a single rule, and, always when it was for the comfort of the people. As the wife of the President of a great republic, she yet had a care for the amenitles of the more formal side of court life, and fitted into every niche of the great soclal plan of her posi- tion. The official receptions and din- ners of sjhe Harding regime must stand forth as among the most beau- tiful and brilliant ever seen in the White House. Arranged Flowers Herself. With an ardent love of flowers, Mrs. Harding personally planned the dec- oration for each state dinner and re- ception, and it was at these state dinners—or hefore them—that woman writers learned most intimately about Mrs. Harding. Tt was her custom to give then range of the state suite before th fairs, the brilliancy of their des being limited only by the of their pens and the sp ailowed. After they had inspected the drawing rooms and table, it was the custom of Mrs. Harding to come down from her private abode on the second floor and show “the girls"—"us glrls” as she al- ways called newspaper women—just how and of what her gown was fash- foned and to confide to them some little secrets of toflet such as “this is the gown 1 designed for myself,” and asking their ideas on the drapery or embellish- ment. She was o sweet and Sympa- thetic with woman writers in their work and so friendly that a little girl of twelve, who was taken to the White House preceding a etate dinner, sald trankly, “I don’t in the least feel like I was presented at court, but just went to see some very wonderful big woman.” Her Grace and Dignity. In recelving ambassadors and their wives and other diplomats, as well as the higher officials of the government, Mrs. Harding showed great dignity and grace, her splendid figure and bearing and her faultless costumes, with her al- together stately presence, lending a charm to her greeting which one never forgot. When the great men came from the other great countries of the world for the arms conference last November, Mrs, Harding was again called upon to exert herself socially, and in Europe she is known for her szreat dignity and graciousness of manner. There was just one feature of Wash- fngton social life in which Mrs Hurding wished to see a change, and that was the calling code for the wives of cabinet members, senators and representatives. As the matter stood, and as it yet—for the most— stands. - It took every minute of a woman's first and even second & n in official life to fulfill her duties according to this code. She had been a senator's wife, and, though barred from much of It by iliness. she yet knew. Urges Personal Contact. With this In mind she sent out a little letter citing the fact that in view of the duties of official women being greatly enlarged by the com- ing of the arms conference sho thought it a pity for the first season of the administration to pass without the ladies becoming acquainted and for the women of the cabinet and Congress not to meet. “The exchan of cards means so little without per- sonal contact,” she wrote, that she asked the ladies of the cabinet and the House of Representatives to a tea, that they might mingle freely. She did this also for the ladies of the cabinet and the Senate, thus re- lieving thawn—under her personal sanction—of. all necessity for further calling. By her supreme diplomacy Mrs. Harding thereby settled a mooted question of who should call firs for having invited the women of th nate to re with her it ieft the women of the cabinet to be presented to them, and not vice versa. Mrs. public viewed Harding's last appearance in was when the President 7 the District troops on the White Lot and when she appeared on the south front balcony of the White House to hear the Marine Band concert—a custom of hers and an occasion upon which she always had woman friends with her.

It is related that even be- jfore she became Mrs. Harding, the President’s wife helped him through one of the first crises of his career. Tt was in Marion, several years after Warren Harding, editor, had started publishing the Daily Star. Times had been hard and the path of the budding journalist filled with obstacles, most of them financial. Finally he broke down under continuous hard work, and was forced to go away for a rest.
