Her destination was each of the cabins
and cottages in the vicinity of the Wash

homes children had gathered by the
roadside almost daily to see the Presi-

links of the club. And it was to these

member of the Presidents family, that

are little Sallie McAdoo, daughter of her

ter of the secretary to the President and
Mrs. Tumulty.
The next White House bride inherited
her mothers love of and gift for paint
ing. She studied art for several years
at the Academy of Fine Arts in Phila-
deIphia, and last summer gave some
time to sketching at Cornish. She has
another talent in her facility for Ian
guages, and her command of French and
German has added to her popularity in
Washington's cosmopolitan society. Miss
Wilson has always had a fondness for
private theatricals. At Cornish last sum-
mer, and later in New York, she played
the leading role in Percy Mackaye's bird
masque Sanctuary Her love of and
skill in dancing all the newest steps are
well known. She rides horseback, plays
a fine game Of tennis and has other &C
complshments that go to make any girl
a social favorite.

the living embodiment of merriment.
When her face is in repose her eyes are

and carefree girlhood for the dignities of
the position of cabinet hostess. She will
rank among the women of the cabinet

next to whom she will stand in receiving
lines at state receptions held at the
White House. Much official entertaining
will attach to her position as the wife
Of a cabinet officer, but those who know
her best know that, for all her love Of
fun, she is capable of discharging her
public duties with dignity.

The time had come. Literally, the
hour had struck 1t had been long ex-
pected Indeed, more than twenty-five
years had passed since Della Common
began to fill her dover chest A year
later her sister Ellen began to fill hers.
Della remembered perfectly the first ar
ticIe that she had put into hers-a
macrame lambregun of dull olive hue.
Likewise, Ellen remembered the first ar
ticle which she had put into herS-a
table scarf of blue felt, with crazy
work pocket of bright silks at each end
The vogue for both lambrequin and scarf
had passed away. They had grown dull
and faded II hurt Della to look at the
lambreuun, and she knew that II must
hurt Ellen TO look at the scarf. For they
held memories as we'll as the scent OF
dried rose leaves.
There were other things in the two
chests-yellowcd linen. pieced quilts, tutt-
ed FnedspreaGS. 1t was "a good While no"
since anything had been added 20 their
contents Della had left off adding to
hers first on a certain day she had mn

We'll. you're a year younger Della
had said
IT was two years later that Ellen made
her last offering to the dover chest
They never mentioned it again. but they
avoided going up into the attic, where
the two chests stood. Into those chests,
along with the work OF their hands ana
the rose leaves, they had put Young
dreams, hopes and aspirations for happi-
ness and left them.
Della Common and her sister Ellen were
unclaimed. They were old-fash.oned
women. bred 10 the one great hope OF
marriage. But husbands. like heaven,
must be won by beautiful patience,

great issue OF their lives. But after
twenty-five years one wearleS OF too
much hoping. Della and Ellen. her sis
tet. had grown very weary. They had
come to the conclusion that they We're
never to have husbands. They might as
well reconcile themselves to amending
spiusterhood.
Then the unexpected had happened.
Siius Winch had come back wifeiess from
another county and had renewed old
friendships with the sisters lie had

Della and Ellen sat upon the edges of

and tried not to look at each other when
the time came for dividing up
