He has been seen to halt for several moments in front of a jewelry window and ad- mire the sparkling trinkets displayed there, without so much as raising his eves to peer back into the store to note the interest his perusal has aroused within. Mrs. Coolidge Goes In. With Mrs. Coolidge, however, it is different. She apparently derives much pleasure not only from emulating the tactics of her distinguished husband in seeing what's in the windows, but from going inside and pursuing a closer, and, for the store, a thore prof- itable, line of investigation. She does considerable business with local women’s ghops, gift establish- ments and jewelry stores. She takes upon herself the sole task of selecting gifts for her friends, it Is stated. whether it be a wedding present, an anniversary remembrance or other token of friendship or esteem.

Often Unrecognized. It is sald that Mrs. Coolidge has recelved much secret amusement over the discomfiture of sules clerks who were not at first aware of whom they were waiting upon. It is re- Inted that in one shop the man be- hind the counter did not glance up as the first lady pointed to some articles In a showcase and, in busi- ness-like fashion, he proceeded to show her the wares ghe desired, wholly unaware of her identity. When Mrs. Coolidge made a final selection and the young man pre- pared to conclude the sale, he in- quired, still without looking into her face, her name. “Mrs. Calvin Coolidge,” reply, smilingly. “Mrs. -er-er. Oh, I beg your par- don, Mrs. Coolldge,” the abashed young man ejaculated, looking for the first time. Mrs. Coolidge chuckled heartily and hastened to assure him that “it was perfectly all right," so the story goes.

In walking around for a better view. of the creation the President inadvertently stepped on the train, just as Mrs. Coolidge moved in the opposite direction. There was a ripping sound as the frail material gave way under the strain. - The Presi- dent was exceedingly embarrassed and apologized for his faux pas without de- lay. What Mrs. Coolidge had to say is not recorded. Perhaps there Is a good reason why the President seldom, if ever, goes shopping in the literal sense of the word, It might be because he has so many things given him by the manu- facturers. In the matter of hats, for instance, it is well established that a President need not want for headgear, and Mr. Coolidge is no exception. I this is_true with hats, it is quite likely it hdlds good, also, for other articles of clothing. So that a Chief Executive who abhors “pilling around” in men's shops may stay away from them as much as he cares to. ESCAPES FROM HOSPITAL. Boy Arrested for Housebreaking Climbs Out of Window.
