TO CORNISH NEXT WEEK

was said today. for the departure next
week of Mrs. Wilson and Miss Helen
Bones for Cornish, N. H, the summer
home Of the Wilson's. Miss Margaret
Wilson will not be with her mother much
Of the summer. having entered into a
business arrangement for editorial work
on Wisconsin magazine.
Mrs. Wilson has been loath to go away
from Washington this summer without
the President as is shown by the delay
in her departure, but the outlook for the
President getting away before the end
of summer is SO gloomy that it is
President to make weekend trips to Cor
nish. as he did last year.
Summer to Be Quiet One.
The vacation at Cornish will be an ex-
ceedingly quiet one. There will be few
visitors and the stan Of servants will be
small, surrounding the place with the
atmosphere Of a private home of a small
family.
Mrs. Wilson expects to have a good
rest throughout the summer and the
predictions are that she will be en-
abIed thereby to resume her social du-
ties this winter. If she has not i'm
proved by that time there will be little
surprise if most of the social functions
are done away with.
