would have the president worship at
a particular church all the time, but
It was apparent yesterday that the
president will not make a final selec-

was in his pew when the president,
Mrs. Wilson and Miss Jessie arrived.

were no guests. With the exception
of two nights when the president at

home every evening.
The cares Of political campaigning
the last two years often deprived Mr..
Wilson Of the society Of the family
circle, but there is every indication
that henceforth he will spend most
Of his evenings at home.
To his close friends. the president
has admitted that he finds more ease
and comfort in the white house than
he has had In many years. The pres
