brush with so masterful and vivid a
stroke that an art critic recently gave
it as his opinion that "if Mrs. Wilson
could devote all her time to her art,
she would take first rank among the
women artists of the New World"
A study of the painting makes the
spectator realize that the ARTISTS
beautiful spirit of motherhood is re-
{ lected-the spirit of motherhood
which Mrs Wilson believes to be the
ideal type of womanhood.
"The happiest life for a woman"
said Mrs. Wilson, smiling happily,
Contains three elements-a husband
with whose tastes you sympathize,
your home and your children. I've
often said-and I'm sure my husband,
practical theorist that he is, agress
with me-that husbands and wives
reach their truest and noblest develop
ment when they are complementary to
each other. That's the way l feel
about my husband. l want him to
feel that l am always at his side.
ITO say that 1 am pleased at Mr..
Wilson's nomination is superauous. I
am proud of the trust that has been
reposed in my husband What woman
would not be? Isn't it a great thing
for a woman to realize that the man
she loves is considered by a great pol
itical party to be worthy of the high
est Office in the land?
"But 1 cannot say that 1 am elated
at the honor that has come to Mr..
Wilson, because I appreciate the
grave responsibilities that Mr.. Will
sons present position carries with it.
But no brave man fears or shirks re-
sponsibilities-rather he prays that
his abilities will measure up to his
responsibilities
"Mr. Wilson has an opportunity to
do enormous good if he is permitted
to carry out the principles and the high
ideals for which he stands and has al
ways stood I know my husband bet
ter perhaps than any other person in
this country. I have faith that he will
live up to his opportunities.
81 want others to know my hus-
band as I know him. You know my
husbands ideals and mine have al
ways been supplementary to each 9TH
er. l have the greatest confidence in
his ability to render practical the
theoretical ideals which he holds. I
have such great confidence in the
clearness of his vision that I have fire.
quently accepted his ideas on subjects
about which l had no opportunity for
personally inquiring into.
81 believe that Mr.. Wilson will be
elected. If he is 1 believe he will
make a good president To my mind
he possesses one of the most esseltial
characteristics of a good president

"Mr. Wilson is the very essence of
unselfshness. He never thinks of
himself 1 have to do that part of his
thinking fc I'm. That is one reason
say we are supplementary.
at seems to me that a woman has
almost enough to do in attending to
her home While 1 believe it wise for
a wife to know everything about her
husbands business affairs 1 do not
believe in wife interfering in his
business affairs. The home Is wo-
mans sphere, the world is mans.

ed with housekeeping details. AS a
rule they are too trivial to be discuss
ed. 1t is good rule for wives not to
trouble their husbands with the vag-
aries or idiosyncracies of the butcher
and the baker.
do not take this to mean that a
wife should not spur her husband on
in his vocation That seems to be the
double function of woman ambition
accelerator and mental recreator. A
wife should make it her business to
see that her husband secures a few
hours mental recreation every day"
Have you kept up with recent po-
