A de scription of Mrs. Coolidge in the dis patches of Just this week gave de tails of her costutfie and mentioned a J^^^TIttle arrow" which she wore.

Mrs. Howell Tells of Experiences in Alaska This Summer. Railroad Trip Up While Pass a Thrilling Sight. Kodaking at midnight was one of the unusual summer experiences of Mrs. R. Beecher Howell, who return ed a few days ago to Omaha, having taken a trip earlier In the season to Alaska. In the party were 28 congressmen and their wives, five senators and their wives, Including Senator and Mrs. Howell, army people and a num ber of troops. They sailed June 1, taking the open sea rather than the Inside passage. "The trip was scenic and wonder fully interesting,” said Mrs. Howell, "though, of course, accommodations for travelers are not at all what we are accustomed to in this country." She explains this by the size of the towns. Fairbanks has 1,000 people, Juneau 3,500 and Seward is the merest primitive village, situated, however, on Incomparable Reaurrec tion bay. Anchorage is larger, with 2,500 people and has the appearance of a progressive, respectable railroad town. Skagway is pitiful, as only a deserted mining town can be, said Mrs. Howell. At Fairbanks the party was within 125 miles of the Arctic circle. “It was a wonderful sight,” Mrr. Howell said, "to see the rosy hue of a setting sun merge into tho pink of dawn, with only a little gray between. Some of the party who climbed a high hill said tho glow never Changed. At 1:15 in tho morning the sky was blue and the birds were singing. "Some people find this continual daylight wearing on tho nerves. The temperature was 8fi degrees when we were at Fairbanks. Mount McKinley was gorgeous as seen several hours from tho train. "A thrilling sight was tho railroad trip up White Pass. We looked down upon the narrow trail taken by the Yukoners in 1S97, and I saw always those 30,000 people who tried to get over White Pass and rotildn't make It for a year," Mrs Howell eontlnued. Chllkoot Pass had lieeei used previously, but a snow slide caused the adventurers to change their rout ing to White Pass. Mrs. Howell re called that it was In a snow slide In that region that Curtis Turner of Omaha was killed in 1S97 or 1*93. Mrs. Howell does not regard Alaska as a land of Immediate promise ag riculturally. "It costs $230 to clear an acre of timbered ground: much of ihe land is frozen and freight rates are high. There will soon be no sal mon unless the fisheries are restricted in their catches They lake the sal mon as they go up the rivers to spawn and thus prevent propagation. There is much timber in Alaska, and ftie mines, of course, are a source of great wealth. Unusual men and women reside In Alaska, Mrs. Howell declares. Some one said jokingly, but with a sub stance of truth, that seven-eighths of tho women there are teachers and one eighth are nurses. A Wellesley woman Mrs. Howell met at Juneau, mother of six children, had studied music abroad with Miss draco Ware, a relative of Mrs. It. S. Hall of Omaha. Mrs. Howell Is of tho opinion that the long trip of President Harding across the country and to the far north, together with the many inci dent demands made upon him, was Ihe direct cause of his death.
