pleasant weather conditions the

whose health continues to improve, will
deny herself even the smallest participa-

all goes well, the silver wedding ami
versary of the President and herself will
be appropriately celebrated In the White

ability to take part, a large affair is in

iaunced. That congratulations and good
wishes Of the notables on both sides Of

foregone conclusion and that remem-
brances OF the happy day will be equally
numerous Is another equally safe conclu
sion.
