" ' Be Quiet Christmas At White House This Year Too Many Wistful Memories of 1.41*1 War"* ('.lirfatiua* in (ioolidge Family for Aiutllicr (iuy Time Sucli as Was Enjoyed in Executive Mansion in 1923 1J> KOIIKItTA V. HIIAIIHHAW ic*uvri?nt. i?? a* n?? ?w?*?1 Washington, Dec. 1"9.?Christ man hurly burly ha? broken loose at the While House where a thousand bundles, boxes, barrels, crates, packages and "pokes" are bearing down dally upon the stall In a relentlessly steady stream. Everybody In the White House household has something cominu. The President and Mrs. Cool Id gu and their son. John, soon to ar rive for his flrst visit since enter- ( Ing Amherst, are on the Iint. So also in Col. John Coolidge, th" President's father, although he now Is not expected to be a White House Christmas tide guest. Tag ging along in the gift-getting group are Mrs. Coolldge's pet*, the White House collies. Rob Itoy , and Peter Pan. and the Presi dent's prime favorite, "Blackle" the cat that "stayed put." So far, oddly enough, no Christmas turkey has been prom ised. There still is time a-plenty for a turkey or two to come wing ing Its way. although nobody wonders much at no turkey when casting an* appraising eye over the vast assortment of provender I gifts which range from bits of hand made, homey stuff to splen-1 dldly boxed fruits and nuts show ing the choicest things from the J winter harvests. Flowers from everywhere show up against a gorgeous consign ment of holly which Arizona ari mlrers of the Coolidgc family have forwarded. The White House registers a lot of excite ment because of the holly which Is a novelty on the White House gift list. The sight of the holly set everybody inquiring "Where's the mistletoe?" Not a sprig of mistletoe In sight to date. Christmas 1924. with its.sadly wistful remembrances, will be ob served with even more than the customary simplicity by the Pres ident and Mrs. Coolidge and tlx it son, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Stearns Will be of the household during the holidays as they always are on ail purely intimate and family oc casions. There will be no Christ mas tree, no young peoples' dance as there was last year when John and his brother Calvin gave an af-' ternoon "party" and the first lady made a great hit by dancing with every boy in the company. Outwardly. Christmas will'pass. In the usual fashion. The Christ mas wreaths are going up at all , the big windows and the great ' bunches of holly render colorful the great state salons. Tlfere will be a-simple dinner with the board spread only for the family group. During the Christmastlrie. if the weather is favorable, the Mayflow er may be boarded for a cruise on the river. Both the President and Mrs. Coolidge will have a part to play In the setting up of tho giant pine tree sent to Mrs. Coolidge from Katonah, New York. AVEHS I .A BOH WILI, SOON COME BACK l^ondon. Dec. it.?When.' Ish bel MacDonald. who acted as hos tess for her father at Number 10 Downing Street during his incum bency of the premiership, moves back to her old home at Hamp 'stead, her passing from the offi cial ranks of society will be re gretted by many hostesses with J whom she has become a great fav orite. The little Scotch lass dis played a poise and tact that won her many friends, among them Queen Mary, who showed her lik ing In many way?. One of her friends recalled re cently that a few weeks before the first court Miss Is h bel attend ed as the daughter of the prime minister, the wife of a prominent liberal politician offered to help choose her frocks and to teach her a little bit about court etl Quette. The reply must have sur prised her, for Ishbel said "Thank you very much, hut I have already chosen my frocks and I think I shall know how to behave at court." Ishhel. like most of the l^abor party. Is not downhesrted by the recent defeat of her father's gov-, srnment. While she wns parking up her belongings in the Downing Stroet house It was suggested that ( her sister Shells, 14 years old. might bo able to assist her In her duties as hostess when their fath-' er returned to the premiership.
