her nome with the Presidents family
ever since Mr.. Wilson has been in the
white House. Such an event would. of
course, smash all preCedents. There new

ing feature is found in the gossip that
the fifty-year-old Secretary Of the Treas
ury won Miss Wilson despite the ardent
attentions OF a Mr.. King. Of Princeton.

her Princeton days.
In fact some 4 hcr friends assert that
