The White House Week

G. The President and Mrs. Coolidge held their annual reception for members of Congress.

P: The President cabled Governor General Leonard Wood, a convalescent from an operation for hernia,, at Manila: "Earnestly hope for your quick, complete recovery. Glad your health good. Hope nothing interferes with the splendid services you are rendering."

P: To build a community house and library, the members of the Women's Club of Hagerman, N. M., have issued and are selling a cookbook. Various writer-men* have contributed remarks. Most of the recipes, evolved by women, are dependable. The First Lady explains as follows a coffee souffle which the President allegedly enjoys: "Mix one and one-half cups coffee, one tablespoon gelatine, one-third cup granulated sugar and-one-half cup milk. "Heat in a double boiler, add yolks of three eggs slightly beaten and mix with one-third cup granulated sugar and one-fourth teaspoon salt. Cook until it thickens. "Add the whites of the eggs, beaten stiff, and one-half teaspoon vanilla. Mold, chill and serve with whipped cream."

P: Albuquerque is a well-known picturesque stopping-off place in New Mexico for tourists who wish to watch Indians weave blankets. New Mexico is one of the 48 states of the Union. Last week the Albuquerque Advertising Club sent to the State Legislature a resolution proposing to change the name of the state to Coolidge.
