HAMILTON, Bermuda, November o6.-
The health of Presidentto-be Wilson
shows an improvement today. but he has
decided to remain at home all day SO as
to completely recover from the attack OF
Indigestion which affected him yesterday.

and his family deprived of a turkey, as
there is none available in the island ex-
cept birds kept in cold storage.
Outlook From the Wilson Cottage.
Gov. Wilson's cottage Glencove. is To-
Gated on a little point of land jutting into
the harbor parallel with the mainland SO
that he has a little bay of his own In
front of his house. 1t is called Salt Kettle
creek, though it is not creek. but
baby bay Here the governor ana MS
family go in bathing The tiny penlnsula
is lust visible among the trees from the
coral road high above it. and is reached
by a winding white road down the hill.
over on the hill beyond Hamilton the
British governor lives in palace sur
rounded by immense and splendid
grounds. guarded by sentries in bright red
uniforms vino have orders to admit the
public only twice a week. Across the mar
Dor from Hamilton lives the next fresl
dent of the United States in comfortable

the British flag kept it company, and 1t

Houses Built of Coral.
Though the American President-to-be
picked out for his winter rest place
away from American soil. he could not
have found a more beautiful or more
restful one. These coral islands are a
neyer-ending series of pictures, each more
beautiful than the last. Even the houses
are things of beauty, built, as they are,
of coral "Those houses said Mr.. Will
of foliage, checked and interspersed with
graceful white buildings. remind me of
driven snow" 1t is a fact that most OF
them look as if snow had fallen on them
in the night, and in this warm climate 1t
gives q curious effect:
This is Mrs Wilson's first visit to Ber-
muda. and she is enjoying 1t keenly. but
no member Of the party enjoys 1t more
than the two girls. A few highs ago
they went fishing in the moonlight, and
declared that they never had had so much
fun in their lives.
No Automobiles to Be Seen.
1t seems strange TO be in place where
there are no automobiles. Gov. Wilson
himself was one of those who brought
about this state Of affairs. The roads
here are narrow. there are no sidewalks
and when automobiles were permitted
accidents were unavoidable and constant
FINALLY. the inhabitants and the winter
residents united in a petition to the as
sembly TO prohibit the dangerous ma
chimes. and the assembly condemned all
that were here and prohibited the land
ing of any more. Gov. Wilson, who was
one of the winter residents, Joined in the
petition.
Giving Much Time to Work.
This is the greatest playground in the
world" said Mr.. Wilson. standing on the
veranda of his cottage. Glencove. and

coral cottages half hidden among the
