WASHINGTON, oct. 1L-The bars' are

the President or Mrs. Gait will be made
public at the White House executive OFF,
ces.
Mrs. Gait and her mother, Mrs. william
Boiling, personally are directing the COM
pletion of the trousseau. 1t is stated that
II is the intention of Mrs. Gait, following
her wedding. to discard to a great extent
the dark colors which have been asso-
clated with her for the last seven years,
but she maintains a sphinx-like attitude
when questioned as to her favorite colors.
President Wilson sends a magnificent
bouquet of roses to his fiancee daily.
Despite the fact that the White House
conservatories are fairly jammed with
blooms of the rarest character, the Pres
ident purchases the flowers for his fancee
at a local florists, as was his custom
before the formal announcement of the
engagement was made. The next public
appearance of the engaged pair will be
on Saturday of this week, when they are
