In the afternoons, when they are at Washington, Mrs. Coolidge in- terrupts the President's work re- gularly at about Ave o'clock, unless' something of exceptional import- ance holds him to the executive office, and they go for a brisk motor drive with their Secret Service escort, through the beautiful en- virons of Washington. Husband and wife drive together in New England, and New England's Puri- tan ways are the present ways of the White House.

Therefore keep Pinkettes side, people forget the ordinary courtesies, and cannot refrain from staring at the group'in undisguised admiration.
Nobody has discovered the reason for Mrs. Coolidge's preference, but women in general have found, after copying the Coolidge colour scheme, that white strikingly emphasises youthful charm. Mrs. Coolidge le so youthful-looking herself, al- though she is the mother of a son not far from his majority, that it is unnecessary for her to select her gowns for any purpose of camou- finge. But the fact that white de tracte from age has added to the popularity of the colour since, it became the White fashion.
No Stately Dignity, Mrs. Coolidge has not allowed the formality of her position to inter- fere with her natural halvete. She is known as the girlish mistress of the White House," because of her spontaneity and her refusal to iml- itate the stately dignity of the dowagers. When her husband was Governor of Massachusetts, saven years ago, the Coolidge family home was a two-storey house in North- ampton, the rent of which was £6. per month.
