PRESIDENT WILSON
and HIS FIANCEE
Mrs. Norman Calf to Become
Lady of White House.

'"HOUGH the great god Of war
has been causing no end Of
trouble at the White House,
the little god Of love has found
the opportunity to get busy also.
Through Secretary Tumulty President
Wilson has announced his engagement
to MIS-. Norman Gait Of Washington.
The date of the wedding has not been
definitely set, but it is asserted that Il
will take place some time in Deem
Der at Mrs. Calls home.
Friends Of the president have ex-
pressed their pleasure over the an
nouncement not only because Of Mr..
Wilson's personal happiness, but be-
cause they felt this new companion
ship would give him support and COM
fort in his home life-a vital need dur
ing hours of strain over the nations
problems. With the marriage Of his
two daughters and the death of Mrs.
Wilson more than a year ago the pres
ident's life had tended to become that
of a recluse. His absorption in official
labors began to tell on him physically,
and when a few months ago he began
to take a renewed interest in his own
affairs his friends and members Of his
family welcomed the distinct change
which it brought about in his health
and spirits.
The announcement of the engage
ment is generally regarded as a fore
runner of an interesting social season
for Washington.
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and her
cousin, Miss Bones. who drew Mrs. Gait
into the White House circle. They met

PRESIDENT WILSON AND MRS. NORMAN
GAIT.
her first in the early autumn of last
year and were so much attracted by her
that they sought her out more and
more frequently, and the friendship be-
tween them rapidly ripened into an af-
fectionate intimacy. Mrs. Gait spent a
month this summer at Cornish as the
house guest Of the presidents eldest
daughter. 1t was through this intima-
cy of his daughter and cousin that the
president had an opportunity to meet
and know Mrs. Gait. One of the most
interesting facts about the engagement,
indeed, as told by friends, is that the
presidents daughters should have
chosen Mrs. Gait as the object of their
admiration and friendship before their
father did.
Mrs. Gait has dark hair and dark
eyes and is always modishly gowned-
Her tastes are said to be strikingly
similar to those of the president, lit
erature and charitable work engaging
much of her interest
Mrs. Gait is the widow Of a well
known business man of Washington,
who died eight years ago, leaving a
jewelry business that still bears his
name. She has lived in Washington
since her marriage in 1896. She is
about forty years old and was Miss
Edith Boiling. She was born in Wythe-
vile, Va, where her girlhood was
spent and where her father, the late
William n. Boiling. was a prominent
lawyer.
In the circle of people who have
known Mrs. Gait for many years she
has been regarded as a woman Of I'M
usual beauty, gifted with a natural
charm. Friends speak of her as being
constantly sought out as a delightful
companion, remarking especially on her
thoughtfulness and capacity for accom-
plishing anything she chose to under
take.
Mrs. Gait was present at the first
social affair participated in by the pres
ident and Miss Margaret Wilson IN
more than a year. 1t was a tea given
by Miss Wilson to neighbors In the
artist colony at Cornish. n. ii.
Since the return OF the president to
Washington he and Mrs. Gait have
spent many evenings together, some
times at the White House and often at
her home.
