Mae. Galli-Curci and Helen Schipa.
“Godmother” Amelita Galli-Curci,
world-famous song bird, pays her
annual visit to Helen Schipa, little
daughter of Tito Schipa, leading
tenor of the Chicago Opera Com
pany, during Grand Opera Week,
at Daytona Beach. Florida.
During the opera season in Day
tona Beach, which is to become an
annual event there, the famous
grand opera star endeared herself
Ito the people of Jhe Florida city
by singing in the open air to three
; thousand people who had been un
able to gain admission to the great
auditorium and had’*- thronged
around a side exit to see her de
part. She also sponsored the‘an
nual beautification week to make
| the beautiful city still more beauti
ful and appeared with the boy
kings and girl queens who took
part in the pageant.
[ "I" love Daytona Beach. It is
10 charming, and I will come
again,” -she said. “I will sing to
you again .and I will see my .little
Helen who lives hare.”
IS THIS VIRGINIA HOSPITAL
ITY?
Goldsboro News.
The little town of Suffolk, Va., 20
miles or so distant from Norfolk, has
a city ordinance prohibiting the oper
ation of automobiles on its streets un
less they are equipped with the state
license tag. Other towns and cities
probably have the same sort of law,
but it is probably not enforced so
rigidly as in the small Virginia Tpwn
and. fortunately, it is not.
A few nights ago a visitor from
South Carolina drove into Suffolk. He
had lost his license tax somewhere en
route, and in order to let the world at
large know this was the ease, had
attached a piece of eardboard to the
radiator, tearing this inscription: “Li
cense Tag I/ost.”
l>riving up to the Ell&tt Hotel,
which cost the citizens there some
muadreds of thousand dollars to build,
tlie tourist registered and was as-]
signed to a room for the night.
Between midnight and dawn there
came a rapping at his door. Open- ]
ing this he found . a police officer
standing there with a warrant for his
arrest on a charge of having driven an |
automobile on the streets of Suffolk,
without the proper license and but
for the fart that the mauager of the
hotel put up a cash-bond for him, the
stranger wbuld have spent the remain
der of the night in jail and all be
cause a sap-headed iiolice officer had
seen the car parked on the street,
noted the absence of the proper li
<-cnse aad wanted to rigidly enforce
the law.
Columns could be written on this
subject, but it is sufficient to say that
the people of Suffolk should rise up in,
their wrath and kick such officials
down the steps and out of office. TBry
have spent their hard-earned dollars in
the erection of a hotel to draw visit
ors, yet some incompetent official
breaks loose and does more damage in
an hour’s time than can be uudone iu
a month of blue moons. i
There is such a thing as using com ]
mon sense aad reason in ail things
and the citizens of Suffolk would slo j
well to begin to show some courtesy
to strangers and visitors if they ever
expect that town to become more than
a dot on the map, a mere suburb of
Norfolk, a,place to beware of. if one
wants to avoid possible arrest and de-j
tention for some trivial offense which]
not be noticed elsewhere.
Fially the orator himself realized
that his discourse bad been .some
what prolonged. “I beg to be ex
cused if I have detained you too'
long." ke remarked.
‘‘Oh. not at all,” said the- voice of
the uole remaining occupant of the
h*ll/ “It has only just stopped rain
l«‘” / " .
' “Robert.” staid the schoolteacher,
“do yon know why' wo «ct off fire
works on the Fourth of Juty ?”
“Ycs’m; so we can 'show the
neighbors we gat j(*st as much i
money to spend foolishly as .they
have.” ' |

BY ALLENE SUMNER
NEA Service Writer
Wasbinfctou. April 2. —Grace
Goodhue Goolidge, first lady of the land I
for nearly three years, is known to;
social Washington as the “best dress
ed woman whri lias ever graced the
White House."
But this doesn't mean Mrs. Goolidge
has deserted the cause of Goolidge
economy. No president’s wife Within
memory spent as little on her ward
robe as does Mrs. Goolidge. She has
solved woman's hardest problem—
how-to spend little, but be well dress
ed.
And she makes no bones about it.
She even chuckles a bit over the con
sternation she sometimes sees on the
faces of high-hat guests wheu they see
her in a ''made-over gown at a White
House reception.
/~ Dislikes Formality. I
Mrs. Goolidge dislikes formal dress
of stiff brocades and glittering stuffs.
Hundreds of pictures of her have been
taken—but rare indeed is the picture
showing her in deoollette.
"The president doesn't like it,”
sas one picture agene.
Besides, the expense! This is an
economical administration.
Although Mrs. Goolidge is rarely
seen without a string of brads of some
sort, she does not wear expensive
jewels. In fact, it is said that she
owns no diamonds but her simple lit
i engagement ring. But afie loves

earrings.
She is as conservative in dress aa
her husband is in polities. No matter
what the mode, she wears skirts that
reach nearly to her ankles. She sel
dom pays more than $2.00 for a pair
of hose, although she buys large qunn
t:tics for them, in a hun
dred shades to match various cos
tumes.
Looks For Bargains.
When she does her own shopping
in one of Washington's specialty
shops she is not above picking up a
"bargain,” a flower from a tray.of
those “slightly soiled,” a “sample, l ”
comb or a string of beads.
An incident at a recent glittering
White House reception is illuminat
ing.
The cream of Washington’s society
was in the line that moved past her.
As the gowned and jeweled women
walked up to take her hand, a woman
dess mddishlydressed came up. She
was a "socidfy tattler”—n woman
who has made her living for years by
attending Washington's functions and
writing articles about them.
Her eyes wereff busy as she ap
proached Mrs. Coomige, trying to note
every deta’l of the, first lady's cos
tume. .Mrs. Goolidge noticed it. Her
eyes sparkled. She leaned forward
and whispered:
"You can got the description from
-some old clippings, Miss It's an
old one again. Just made over a

little bit.” ' J
I know this is a true anecdote, for J
I heard it myself. I was next in \
line.
Always Genuine.
White House attaches who have at
tended countless recept’ons in .iiuny
administrations marvel at Mrs. Gool
idge’s poise. Always she manages to
inject rehl warmth and sincerity into
tlie hundreds of greetings she must
give to strangers.
And she seems to enjoy it, too. She
almost grins when she comes down the
marble stairway into the Blue Room
while the Marine band plays “Hail to
the Chief." Some of her intimate
friends say she has said:
“I rarely go through this act but
what I am thinking of the days when
my daily promenade consisted of go
ing to market in Northampton with a
basket on my arm. while I tried to de
cide whether to buw steaks or chops for
'-Supper."
Still Light-Hearted.
"She has refused to bo made mis
erable by- the dema/ids put upon her
As president’s wife. She giggles and
chatters as much as in the days when
we lived together at the hotel and
borrowed one another's ironing board.”
Everyone in Washington, in fact,
lias a good word to say for Mrs.
Goolidge. It lias been many years
since a first lady was as well liked as
the present one.
The young womiin who comes tu_
tlie White House to dress her hair is
one of her boosters.
“I was scared to death the first time
I was called in.” she says. "1 kept
thinking, ‘what if 1 get water down"
the back of her neck?” Btitbonest-
ly, I'm not afraid of it at all now. T
In fact, I did spill some water on her ■
once, and she only laughed and said,
'Do I get a bath, too?”
The Funny Presents.
A White House attache says:
"She gets a big laugh out of the
funny letters people write her and the
things they try to give her. And *
whenever a child tries to send her a
guinea pig or a white mousd or a
rabbit, she is especially sure that the
little Icttov is answered at once.”
Mrs. Goolidge does not give inter:
views. She did, when she first enter
ed the White House—but she found
that the reporters wrote of her onlg
as an economical housewife. And her
vanity was a bit hurt.
"They might at least have remem
bered that I like music as well as to
-bake shortcake,” she is said to have
commented.
