But tomorrow in Washington she faces a new and terrible ordeal when the intimate family treasures, cherished by her dead husband and herself, must be dispersed to new qurroundhl[! that the mansion can be made ready for the new President. President and Mrs. Coolidge hast- ened to assure Mrs. Harding days ago that she might continue to conside the White House her holme, but she would not have it so for more than the brief time required to ship away the personal things that surrounded her there during her brief time as first lady of the land. In her decigion to leave for Wash- -ington immediately after the vault had been closed upon President Hard- ing's casket Mrs. Harding gave fur. ther proof of the dauntless courage which has brought her the admiration of the nation in these hard days of trial. Her spirit would not brook de- lay in facing the task she must do. The_ everyday things of life must go on, however sick the heart. Alas for Fame. From the Chicago Tribune.

There was no formal commiesion of senators, no formal commission of representatives. But_unofficially the government of the United States will be centered in Marion today—probably for the last time. So far as a President may do so, Mr. Coolidge travels to Marion as a private citizen, as the friend and as- soclate of his former chief. He oc cupies the private car of W. Galloway. vice president of the Bal- timore ard Ohio rallroad. Normally €hould be denied the right to a place in the line and that the approaching time for stopping the procession passing by the casket should not be called until the last moment before the services at the home and the start to the cemetery began.
