PRESIDENT TO MARRY
MRS. NORMAN GALT WILL BE
WHITE HOUSE BRIDE.
Gay Social Life of Nations Capitol
Will be Resumed Following
Presidents s Wedding.

The surprising announcement OF
President Wilson's engagement tt
Mrs. Norman Gait, a wealthy Wash
ington widow, came from the White
House last week. The President 4
first wife, and the mother of his chill
dren, died about fourteen months ago
and for more than a year after that
time the nation s chief observed strict
mourning. According to the best in.
formation at hand the President and
Mrs. Gait have been engaged fol
about ten days, and they have an
nounced the wedding as simple af-
fair to take place in December The
announcement created a great sur
prise in Capitol society, and in fact
throughout the United States. Al
though the president and Mrs. Cali
have been seen together on several
occasions within the past few months,
and although she has been a frequent
guest ait the White House, no intima-
lion of the possibility of an engage
ment had been given out.
Mr.. Wilson met Mrs. Gait for the
first time a few months after the
death of Mrs. Wilson, a year ago last
August. 1t was not until last spring,
however, that he began to evince a
more than casual interest in the wild
ow who was so frequently the guest
of his daughter, Margaret, and his
cousin, Miss Helen Woodrow Bones.
DR.. Cary Grayson, the presidents aid
and physician, it appears, was the
means Of bringing the president and
Mrs. Gait together. 1t was Miss Bones
who has made her home with the
presidents family for several years,
who really fostered the romance.
Mrs. Norman Gait was Miss Edith
Boiling. She was born in Wytheville,
Va, where her girlhood was spent,
and where her father, William H.
Boiling. won distinction as one of the
ablest lawyers in the state. Mrs. Gait
lives at 230S Twentieth street, north
west. in the fashionable section of
Washington. She has lived there since
her marriage in 1896 to Norman Gait.
Her first husband was the son of Viii
liam NJ. Gait, head of the firm of Will
liam NJ. Gait & Co.. which is to Wash
ington what Tiffanys' is to New York.
Mrs. Gait has enjoyed an enviable dis
tinction in social circles of the capi-
tai, not only because of her unusual
beauty and natural charm, but also
because of her unusual and interest
ing character. She is a woman of
mental gifts.

Tama, Aug. 2S.-The two dope thieves
who robbed DR.. Whalen's office last
| Monday did not suffer confinement
long in the county Jail at Toledo. On
! Thursday, Deputy Studebaker came
down to Mayor Phillips with a story
about the terrible noises made by the
Omaha boys. He said they were so
noisy that it disturbed peaceful sleep
and, in fact, the other prisoners, could
not get the rest that all good prisoners
are entitled to. Mayor Phillips was
impressed with the pleading Of the
deputy and consented. against the pro-
tests Of Marshal Krone, to suspend the
sentence of fifteen days and ordered
that the crooks be turned loose. They
at once fastened back to DR.. Whalen's
office in Tama and again tried the
self same door that led to their coveted
dope on their former visit. Marshal
Krone was still on the job. however.
and watched them. Knowing that an
other arrest was useless, he advised
them to leave town at once They took
this good advice for the time being.
The penalty under the federal statute,
for possession Of dope, is $4,000 or five
years in the penitentiary or both.
Marshall Krone was so disguised with
the farcial proceedings that he prompt
ly resigned his office. but on advice OF
close friends he accepted a re-appoint-
ment.
