FIRM HAND HELD PEN. | Last Hour as President a Com-| mingling of Sadness and Attempted Cheerfulness. By David Lawrence. (Spocial Correspondent of The Evening World.) WASHINGTON, March 4 (Copy- wight, 1921).—Woodrow Wilson's last hour as President of the United States was a curious co-mingling of sadness and attempted cheerfulness. For a moment the President appeared aa the decrepit figure that ihe has so often been pictured since bis physi: | eal collapse two years ago, and then egain as ho sat at his desk and signed bills with a firm hand and a steady pen, his cyes burned with the fire of tho soldier who never surren- dere, To the last, Woodrow Wilson | scomed to be in a fighting mood, though everybody who stood around him felt that his feeble figure ‘belicd his attempts to appear In his bellig- erent spirit of old. Slowly Mr. Wilson wended his way along the corridor for fifty feet trom the clevator just to the right of the Senate Chamber. As he proceeded stowly, he leaned on his cane and was unaided. His left shoulder was stooped and his left hand hung limply at his sido. As former Mayor “Honey” Fitz- * gerald of Boston extended his hand to grect the President, Mr. Wilson quickly hung the hook of his cane in the upper pocket of his overcoat, and standing for a moment smiled his greetings. Senator Overman of North Carolina, Democrat, walked along besidh Mr, Wilson and asked him f he would go out to the front of the Capitol to witness the inaugu- ration of Mr. Harding, but in a hol- low voice Mr. Wilson replied thet he feared he did. not have strength enough to do ft. Surrounded by members of his | Cabinet, Democratic Senators and military and naval aides, Mr, Wilson enitered the President's Room, there to (be greeted by Mr. Harding. An aide helped take Mr. Wilson's over coat from ‘his shoulders and the man who had driven through the streets of Rome, Paris and London, hailed as the great peace-maker of this gen- eration, sank limply into his chair. | For a moment only, however, did he seem nervous and ill at ease. Grad- ually be recovered his composure. Warren Harding stood over him, bending low and almost paternally | over the man whose arduous labors in the Presidential office had caused hia physical if not political overthrow Tt was evident that a kindly feeling existed between the two men, inten- sified indeed by that human quality whicb has made Warren Harding be- loved by his colleagues. URGED BY HARDING NOT TO OVERTAX STRENGTH. Mr, Harding made it clear that if Mr. Wilson did nol feel strong enough to go ovtdoors, he would not regard * it as a discourtesy and he urged Mr. Wilson n tax his strength, “{ guess | had better not try it,” rerourked Mr, Wilson and Mr, Har- ding passed out to the Republican | cloak room while the oulgoing Presi- dent signed bills. The first measure | jexpress his displeasure dent that Mr. placed before him was a bill autho- riging ade onal expenditures for| hospital fucilities to take care of dis- ubled soldiers. Every now and then) the signing of bills would be inter- iupted by a handshake for some mem- ber of Congress who had stepped into the room to pay respects. When Gen Pershing stepped forward, Woodrow | Wilson smiled and, extending bh said han Excuse me, General, for not] ising. Courteous to the had many kind we of greeting for Colby chatted with him for a while, and standing close at hand, as of old, YaAgewostmaster General Burleson. ; as a truly Democratic setting, ton Baker a Edward Meredith—all the Cabinet, in fact, and Senators Underwood, Rob- jngon, Harrison, Heflin, Swanson and others who eb we to Mr. Wilson. Hach one was called by name and, really, as Mr, Wilson sat at Ms desk, those who have known the man for years felt that he looked Just as healthy and acted just as nat- urally as in the earlier years of his Administration when he came to the President's Room, “Well, 1 think L had better scoot cl THE EVENING WORLD, Gown to be worn at inauguration, A.

Just as the photograph of a diamond cannot convey its lucidity and beauty, so the photographs of Mrs. Harding cannot succeed in transmitting her charm and personality. My photographic conception of «her quickly vanished on meeting her, and the living reality proved an inspiration that only personal contact can give. 1 was inspired. And to those who do not believe that dressmakers need inspiration, I would say that whether we create pictures or clothes, we require the | stimulus of a stimulating personality, unless, of course, we make dresses to a pattern rather than to an in dividuality. Let me confess at once that, while in some cases it may be thought that clothes honor an occasion, in the case of Mrs. Harding I was compelled to realize that her personality would honor the clothes. / MRS. HARDING WILL “HONOR” INAUGURATION GOWNS, It would be superfluous to discuss Mrs, Harding's wardrobe with too close attention to minute detaYs. In dress, it is the generdl princtples and |the salient Lines that are of prime importance.* If the lines are wrong, | the details do not count; and no tn- genuity in decorative details can take the place of artistic fundamentals. We beg the indulgence of the reader, therefore, in treating this subject, not as a fashion journalist, but as a devo- tee of good taste. Those fortunate enough to come within tho sphere of Mrs, Harding's personal influence should cateh some- thing of her winsome simplicity from her insistence on the right lines in her clothes and on thé naturalness of the designs. Dress not alone proclaims the man—and the woman; it is the outer garments of our innermost selves. Women who love good taste cannot fail to find much t dmire and emulate ia Mrs. Harding's proference for correct lines, rather than thé lat- est fashions, PLASTIC LINES OF THE PRESI- | DENT'S WIFE, beautiful dress construction, They are plastic, rather than rigid; soft, rather than “stralght-up-and-down,” straight one-piece dresses as well as line. robe is designed to interpret her lines, rather than the standardized so called chic” of the m belief that American influence arbitrary period styles or bizarre Con- her cost 5 eminontly simple tastes who hesitate devote a disproportionate amount time and thought to what the jon oracles dictate, in following correct lines one |x always sure to be in good taste, And this is the alutary thought imparted by Mrs Harding's attitude on dress, Clothes which master line and which are catried out in neutral colors do not but just at that moment committee ¢rom both Houses of Con- gress appeared in the room.
