...Coolidge attended a morning reception given by Mrs. Henry C. Wallace, wife of the Secretary of Agriculture, under the glass roof of the Department's propagating house. The occasion was the opening of the Department's annual chrysanthemum show. One of the blossoms was labeled " Grace Coolidge...
...purposely left the ladies to the last, according to the order of climax.

Among great men whose names grace the pages of literature Samuel Johnson in particular was accustomed to turn roundly on such offenders, and shout them suddenly into embarrassed silence. The faithful Boswell himself, if report be true, offended on more than one occasion, thereby drawing down on his not too tactful head lightening and devastating thunder...
