Mrs. Grace Goodhuc Coolidge. the
new “first lady of the land." is first
of all. like so many other ladies of
this land. a homemaker.
Simple. cheerful and kindly she has
brought to social circles in \Vashing—
ion the charm and warmth of the
small town. Although she does not
care for society and belongs to no
clubs except the College \Vomen's
Club of \V‘ashington. no woman in the
capital has shown more tact. and
grace socially than she. and she has
always been just herself—natural.
Her first interests since the days
when Cal. Coolidge was a City Solici-
tor have been her husband. whom
she married in 1905. and her two
sons. John. sixteen. and Calvin jr.,
fifteen.
Mrs. Coolidge is a tail. handsome
eyes. a rosy complexion and white
teeth which often show in her ready
smiles. -
Mr. and Mrs. Coolidge have lived
since they moved to “'ashington in a.
small apartment in the New \"illard.
They have held receptions there and
given a few rather modest dinners.

often said. they could not afford it.
For the Coolidges have no pretense
in them. Even when Cal. Coolidge
was Governor of Manchusetts they
lived in half of a two—family house
for which they paid $32 a month, and
they still live in this house when vis-

As the wife of the Governor she
employed no servants other than a
middle-aged woman who came in at
irregular interyals.
“It takes close managing to get
along in these days of the high cost
of living." she often said. “Although
my husband has moved up. it has
made no difference in our mode of
living. we are well and content. we
have‘ the necessities of life. \Ve just

51451 AGAIN
Cliff Amundsen Tells One
and Adolph Basta Re-
lates Another.
This is the season for fish stories.
Two such stories worthy of rcpitition
came to the attention of an EVening
Sentinel reporter this morning.
"Cliff" Amundsen. of the Third Dis-
trict, went bass fishing the other day
accompanied by a friend. They fished
in a nearby reservoir. "Cliff" was
plugging. A fish, larger than usual
struck. his plug. Five minutes of bat.
tie and the .fish went on victorious.
taking the plug with him.
Cliff‘s friend laughed.
“Don‘t laugh." said Cliff. "That plug
isn’t mine. it's yours!"
But this doesn't end the story. Cliff
knew of a. plug tangled in an overhead
telephone wire near the reservoir. He
went to get it to replace the one lost.
After some difficulty. he managed to
reach the plug. He started back walk-
ing along the shore of the reservoir.
"Here's the plug" cried Clix. toss-
ing it upon the road near his friend.
Just at that: moment. an automo-
bile speeded around a corner on the
same road. Before Cliff's friend
could reach the artificial halt. the bhoe
of the car passed over the plug; picked
it up. and went whirling away ieaving
Cliff and his friend standing dismayed!
The second fish story concerns
Adolph Basia. clerk in the First Dis-
trict Water Commissioner's odice in‘
Wall street. Basia recently invested
considerable money in a fishing outfit:
punchasing a dandy casting rod. 5!:
anti-back lash reel and a silk line.
The first time he used the outfit he
never caught a fish so he thought he
would give it another try 'Thursday

po Beach, occurred yesterday when John Robert Pitsgerald, 14-year-
old son of Mr. and fire. Frederick Fitzgerald of New York city dis-
appeared in five feet of water, when about 15 feet from shore and was
drowned shortly after his predicament was noticed. According to
eye-witnesses, the boy was swimming about 100 yards below the life
guard patrol.
SPEED CAUSES
According to Frank 8. Dayton.
sergeant of life guards. the boy was
seen to go down for the second time
by persons at the._other end of the
beach. They at first believed he won
diving and when they saw: him no
down the second time. the life-guards
were notified. but he disappeared for
Abe third time before “tfi guards
could reach him. The body was re-
covered about ten minutes later an]!
although life guards worked over
him for two hours with a pulmotor
their efforts were unsuccessful. - Dr.
William F. O’Connell pronouncing
him dead. Medical Examiner J. M.
Nolan later pronounced the drowning
accidental. .
The Fitzgerald family have main-
tained a cottage on Imperial avenue
during the past few summers and the
boy's mother was on the beach when
the body-was recovered. not realizing
it was her son until she saw the life
guards working over him. She be-
came hysterical and last night was
proatrated. Another youngster, said
to have been swimming with the
youth at the time he disappeared be-
came panic-stricken and disappeared
before authorities could learn his
name.
Local authorities teamed that the
boy suffered an attack of infant“.
paralysis a few years ago. which
affected the use of his right leg.
