.'T‘ales of Well Known Folk I_n Social and Official Life Mrs. ‘Coolidge, Former First Lady, Realizing| Dream of Model Home Equipped With . ‘TTCBS‘UTCS: She Has Accumulated. BY MARGARET B. DOWNING. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Coolidge’s new home, The Beeches, in Northampton, is the subject of sympathetic interest to many Washingtonians. 1t is unlikely that the former president over confided to any one his idea of the home, but Mrs. Coolidge often chatted about her wishes: in this direction. deed, many of the lovely little articles she sewed, knitted or embroidered were destined to play a role in this beloved dream which now has so happily come true. It will be remembered that the former First Lady spent almost six weeks in boxing her treasures, and that an unbelievable number of packing cases and enormous trunks preceded the departure of the family to North- ampton. Purchases as well as gifts made up this assortment, for Mrs. Coolidge bought discriminatingly in all her travels unique bits of tapestri of brocede and rugs of all s nd the President received some superb In- dian blankets during his South Dakota residence. - All these fit into_home deco- ration very neatly. Mrs. Coolidge will now have opportunity to indulge in early American equipment, and in her search for special objects she will have the services of two experts well known in Washington—Mrs. Porter Hinman Dale, wife of the Vermont Senator, and Mrs. Sargent, wife of the former At- torney General. But, say those in touch with Mrs. Coolidge, she intends to live in the house and study its every detail before she makes elaborate plans about the final equipment. A Senator Townsend of Delaware is an | s enthusiastic farmer. In the early months of his service in the National Legislature he introduced a bill by which the inventor or discoverer of a new variety of fruit or plant could patent his rights with the same ease as the inventor of a machine. bill, the well known orchardist of Delaware believed, would go a long way toward removing _discrimination against agri- culture, give to the discoverer of new fruits and flowers a reward commensurate with the service rendered. An ardent ad- mirer of roses, Senator Townsend has all the famous Van Vleete climbers in | his spacious gardens. It has always made him sad to think the beloved Dr: Walter Van Vleete, whose climbers make vast areas of this country so beautiful in May and June, reaped only a small monetary reward for his benefi- cent offerings. He was in charge of the experimental roses in the Agricultural Department, and lived in the simple: fashion on ‘a farm in Prince Georges County.

The beloved leader of the A. E.

Mr. Wallace has already pu lished some important papers and he has many other such studies in contem- plation. ~Gen. Pershing, according to those in his confidence, intends to pre- sent his volume or volumes as post- humous offerings to solve the vital question of who won the war. He pro- poses to weigh in the balance all avail- able facts, and this is more readily done, now that 11 years have passed since the combatants ceased firing, than it was in the first flush of victory, when many continental and British commanders made claims that cannot now be ad- mitted. g The Minister from Norwa¥ and Mme. Bachke anticipate a holiday during the coming Summer. They hope to take part i the grand celebration of St. Olaf's centenary, the loyal Norse from all parts of the world. Cantatas and open-air concerts will mark the jubilee which begins mn Trondhjem May 10 and continues until July 29, when the solmen anniversary of the death of King Olaf on the battle- fleld 900 years ago will be observed in the ancient cruciform cathedral where he is buried. Longfellow wrote spir- ited poems on the Olaf saga, and tourists from this country will probose to combine a trip to the North Cape, when enjoyment of the musical features of the jubilee will- fortify them with the Norwegian stanzas :of the Cam= bridge poet. The open-air Museum of Norse Antiquities is planning an am- bitious program from May until the end of July. The Minister and Mme. Bachke have not yet set a date for their salling, since all depends on the exigen- cles of the Summer and when it would seem convenient to the foreign office to have the envoy come hcme.
