sumo OF TINS little lAdy's admirers have
CARED her The French Doll" but she
calls herself Tee Dee" the neareet
that her baby tongue can |
get 70 the big and dignifed name of
Virginia. Her middle name she de-
rlves from her maternal grandmother. |
VINO was a Peyton. Of Virginia.
she Is Ais a grand-niece Of Presi- |
oent Wilson. Her father, Mr.. J, viii |
son Howe, is the Presidents nephew
and the brother Of Mrs. Cothran. Lit
Tie virginia Is as unlike her little cous-
IN. Josephine, as possible; she is an
Independent little lady, and with all
the wisdom OF her 2 IL years she in
sasts upon a proper Introduction be-
fore she will give you her confidence;
even then she is apt to consider her
own affairs vastly superior to those
OF h outside world and pursues her
W sweet lay untroubled by the
plaudits of an admiring public. While
she is a dear little chatterbox at home,
she is shy with strangers and lacks the
friendliness Of little Josephine, who is
ready to say How do" to the world in
general. But she carries herself with
great dignity and is very fond Of her
pretty frocks and dainty ribbons. In
deed, when she is all fused" up h
looks exactly like a great, big, beauti-
| full doll.
Virginia does not care very much
for girls playthings; she also owns a
large doll family, but her favorite is a
small %celluloid doll, whose chief at
traction is that it is warranted to
wash; this doll baby shares her t
and is religiously scrubbed daily. Hav-
ing a brother who is all Of nine years
old, Virginia is something Of a hero
~worshipper, and has been trained to
! play ball and attempts to do many
other things in which small boys de-
light. She is fond of outdoor games,
and following her brothers e &C
J counts in no small for her
independence of spirit.
Joseph Wilson Howe, Jr., this same
small brother of Virginia's, is named
after his great-grandfather. the Pres
idents father. the late Joseph Wilson

Wilson, as he Is called, attends the
Money School at Keswick, Va, and
came to Washington for n Inaugural
ton of his illustrious grand-uncle'
Wilson was much elated with the sol
diers and the music of the bands for a
time, but with a small boys contempt
OF all restraint, he grew terribly boreo
before half of the ceremony was over
and demanded ~refreshment for the In.
ner man. It is related that the mrs
plate Of food served at the White
House luncheon was rushed to this
young gentleman to sustain his faint
ing spirits. After he was revived he
consented to go through the rest Of
the ordeal Of the day, which a begun
most inauspiciously by the application
Of an extra scrubbing n grooming
which he. being a normal boy, 1nolg.
nantly resented. Wilson is at the az
