wholly unexpected came as a severe
shock to her husband and daughter,
who had been encouraged only few
hours before when she passed sue
cessfully through an operation tnat

saving her life. She had been in
feeble health for weeks and because
of her weakened condition, her nerv-
Gus system was unable to stand the
shock of the operation. She was ap-
parently doing nicely when she col
lapsed and passed away. Her death
occurred after she had regained con-
seriousness ard just as her dear ones
were preparing to visit her in the
sick room, having been with her con-

friends assert that of all the members
of the Presidents household she cares
the least for mere social pleasures.
Miss Margaret Wilson is the most book
iSh of the Presidents daughters, and
after books she finds her greatest joy in
music. She received part of her educa-
ton at St. Mary's in Raleigh. y. c. and
nearly all the friends who visit her at the
White House are old st. Marys girls.
But the part OF her intellectual training
which she values most was obtained
under her father. When less than six
teen she began TO read proof for the books
which made the name of Woodrow Will
son known in the realm of political
science before it was force in the world
of affairs. From that time she has read
everything pertaining to the larger is
sues. With such propensities. that she
should join societies wherein theories of
perfect government were tried out fol-
lows logically. She has never taken UP
settlement work as her second sister, Miss
Jessie for she could never be spared from
home long enough for that, but she
has frequently visited social settle
ment centers in New York and Philadel-
phia. In Washington she was among the
first to respond to the appeal of the pub
lic-sprited women who are endeavoring to
redeem the congested spots in dark alleys
and make them bright and airy parks.

and many claimed to have 'rared' a
fabulous number of children.
Miss Wilson, like her mother, has been
a student of landscape gardening and she
had quite a large part in the successful
arrangements of plants. flowers and trees
which made the Wilson home in Prince
ton famous. She has taken an interest in
the plans Of the philanthropic women
who began the alley reform to transform
the ugly blots into tiny bits of beauty
and her suggestions have been of great
practical value. She has found. strange
to say. Washington is almost devoid of
parks in what must necessarily be the
congested part of the city. where the poor
live. There are numerous open spaces
of very tiny dimensions all over the city,
but Miss Wilson would like to see more
breathing spaces, adorned with fountains
and flowers where the poor live. and she
spent much time examining plans just
before leaving the capital There Is a
small village in Kent, Eng, where the
city fathers have just solved problem
such as washington is facing and their
method has been warmly recommended.
In the depths of the city and back of
small homes where alley buildings had
been leveled, plots of land were allotted
eacn householder, part to be used for flow
ers and part for vegetables. The civic
committee cannot see way to follow
this entirely. But In many alleys up on
Capitol Hill and out toward the north
west just such municipal gardens are
possible. The agitation about this began
so late. about the middle of June, and
when Mrs. Wilson and her daughters
were busy preparing for the summer
Hitting, that they could not give time to
the minute examination of the premises
They will, however take it up in the
autumn and make personal visits to the
places recommended for gardens and to
those which are intended for parks.
