PRESIDENT WILSON WILL WED
MRS. GAIT IN DECEMBER
Bride-to-Be is Widow of Wash
ington Jeweler.

Washington, Oct Woodrow
Wilson, the President of the United
States, announced tonight his en-
gagement to Mrs Norman r. Gait,
of Washington The date of the
wedding has not been fixed but it
probably will take place in Deem
Der at the home of the bride-elect.
The brief announcement from the
White House made by Secretary Tu-
nudity came as a surprise to official
Washington, but to a number of in
innate friends it long had been ex-
pected. From this circle came to-
night the story of friendship whose
elimination was viewed as, happy
turn in the troubled and lonely life
of the nations chief executive.
1t was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Helen Woodrow
Bones, who drew Mrs. Gait into the
White House circle. They met her
in the early autumn of last year and
were so much attracted by her that
they sought her out more and more
Mrs. Gait spent a
month this summer at Cornish as a
guest of the Presidents eldest
daughter.
1t was thru the intimacy of his
daughter and cousin with Mrs. Gait
that the President had an oppor-
tunity to meet and know her. One
of the most interesting facts about
the engagement, indeed, as told by
friends, is that the Presidents
chose Mrs. Gait for their
and friendship before
their father did
