MISS WILSON DECIDES
ON DATE FOR WEDDING
Announcement Not Yet Made, But
It May Be on 13th-Gowns
Being Fitted.

Even to trying on her long trained.
white satin wedding gown, with it's
relief of tulle. the work of fitting the
dozen and more gowns which form the
chief part of Miss Eleanor Wilson's
trousseau was accomplished at the
White House yesterday.
The announcement of the engagement
was made March 13. and in the re-
ma rkably short time since that day
Miss Wilson has not only ordered her
trousseau. but she has ordered her wed
ding invitations. made out the list of
guests and. best of all, has set the date,
even to the day and hour. for her we'd
ding. The wedding date was decided
upon positively within the last few
days. but further than that it is to
take place in May nothing has been
made known. 1t is mere surmise that
it will be on one of the Fridays of the
month, for it might still be on We'd
nesday, May 13. and remain true to the
tradition of the Wilson partiality for
'unlucky" numbers.
1t is also repeated among those who
ought to know that the wedding plans
are not on the extensive scale of the
Sayre Wilson event, and no one would
be surprised if the invitations did not
get beyond the cabinet and intimate
circle of relatives and friends.
The final fittings for all the gowns
and hats and other things requiring
adjustment will be made in New York
during Miss Wilson's five-day visit
there before April 90.
