As a matter of fact, no President ever carries pocket money. He has no use for it. There is no way he can spend it. A President rarely goes shopping. When he does the things are charged and paid for later by a secretary. Mr. Coolidge loves to go window shopping. Hardly a day passes that he doesn’t stroll through the principal business streets of Washington, stopping occasionally to gaze at some articles which chance to catch his eyes, but never entering the stores. The President, according to fem- inine gossip from the White House, window shops for Mrs. Coolidge.

The tailors of Ohio vied with each other in creating confec- tions of dress for Mr. Harding. He was a handsome man always and wore his clothes extremely well.
