ing Possibility.
ALL PRECEDENTS
WOULD BE BROKEN
Announcements of Engagement
of Miss Margaret Wilson to
Boyd Fisher Is Expected, and
Miss Bones Is Reported
Engaged to DR.. Cary
Grayson.


Washington. March l5.-The posi-
! bility Of "A double. perhaps "A triple.
wedding at the White House in June
is the topic with which all Washington
society to-day entertained itself.
Miss Eleanor Wilson is to marry
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo.
This has been announced
The announcement OF the engage
ment OF Miss Margaret Wilson. eldest
daughter OF the President. to Boyd
Fisher. of New York and Princeton, is
expected by many friends of the Presi-
dents family.
Finally. there is Il strong rumor that
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones. cousin of
the President, is engaged to Or. Cary
! Gra%son, L. >. n, the Presidents friend
and physician, who is attached to his
personal staff at the White House.
III these anticipations are realized. 1t
is expected that three weddings will
take place at once. and all will be held
in the White House. Miss Bones has
made her home with the Presidents 4
family ever since Mr.. Wilson has been
in the White House
Such an event would. of course smash
all prccedents. There never has been
double. much less triple, wedding
! in the White House. nor has there ever
I been President having the honor of
having three of his daughters married
at the White House
SightsccrS Disappointed.
Washington sightscerS were on the
! qui vive all day to catch a glimpse of
the fourteenth White House bride and
bridegroom elect. Quite crowd gath
cred around the Central Presbyterian
church, where 1t was rumored Miss
| wilson and Secretary McAdoo would
attend church together, but when the
! White House carriage rolled up II con-
/ tained only the President and Miss Mar
garet Wilson and Miss Eleanor Wilson.
Mrs. Wilson, who is still confined to
her room, did not accompany them.
| After luncheon, Secretary N1cAdoo
/ walked In the east gate OF the White
House and spent a short time there
He left in a White House car, accom-
/ panied by his fancee. Their destina
ton was the Dresden Apartment House,
where they took tea with Mr.. and Mrs
/ Francis McAdoo. son and daughter-in-
! law of the secretary.
| Further details OF the Eleanor Will
i son and Secretary McAdoo romance
are coming TO light. An interesting
! feature is found in the gossip that the
gallant Secretary of the Treasury won
/ his bride despite the ardent attentions
OF Mr. King, of Princeton, who has
/ been wooing Miss Wilson since her
| Princeton days.
! In fact some Of her friends assert
! before Secretary McAdoo danced his
way into her heart. At any rate, when
the presidential family established the
winter camp at Pass Christian in jan
uary, Mr. King made one OF the party
and was Miss Elcanor's constant es-
cort, both there and at the Madri Gras
gaities in New Orleans.
MIR. King Disappears.
Just what happened there and after
the return of the family to the White
House Is only conjecture, but at all
events Mr. King thereafter disappeared
| from equation.
The story OF the missing letter that,
when found. told the romance between
Miss Wilson and Secretary McAdoo. is
described at the White House as being
very romantic, but untrue"
! As matter OF fact, however, the
news that they were engaged first
leaked out from williamstown, Mass.
where her sister. Mrs. Frances Boyes
Sayre. the thirteenth White House
bride resides. Propinquity is said to
have been fector in the match At
| the State dinners and functions at the
| White House the Attorney General and
Secretary McAdoo being the bachelors
of the Cabinet. were constantly paired
off with the White House young wo-
men, and most of the time Secretary
| McAdoo was Miss Wilson's dinner part
ner.
