Mr.. and Mrs. Henry Lassen, Mrs.
James E. Hurley of Washington, and
Lieutenant and !. MRS r John West
Now that President Wilson has
stepped out" again, preparatory to
giving his daughters a new mamma
and the nation a new first lady,, a
4 lot of interest centers in the woman
he has selected-the supposition be-
ing that he could about have his
choice.
/ Mrs. Gait has told the public that
she is very happy ana that she is in
tending to take them into her con-
| fidence when her wedding plans are
completed. Some enterprising reporter
has been tipped off that certain gown
that Mrs. Gait is having made now, is
to be the bridal costume. 1t is of soft.
creamy satin trimmed with bands of
sable and rare old rose-point lace
an heirloom in the Boiling family. 1t
is considered certain that Mrs. Gait
will wear such a gown, as it is her sec
ond marriage, and it is not thought to
be good form to wear all white in
such cases. She is going to wear a
hat instead of a veil. unless the mar
riage takes place in her own house.
In that case her head will probably
not be covered. Some picture hats
have been sent to her house for in
spection, but it is thought that she
to show that the fiancee of the presi-
dent of the United States of America
has difficulty in making up her mind.
"even as you and L"
The wedding date remains a dark
secret, even Miss Helen Bones and
Mrs. Cats ward, Miss Alice Gertrude
Gordon, declaring they have not been
told when the ceremony will take
place. 1t was stated at the White
House that the date will be given out
in due time" 1t is now expected it
will be between the first and fifteenth
Of November. Secretary and Mrs.
McAdoo, the the latter the youngest
daughter of the president, left for the
least three weeks
The president and his fiancee are no
longer considering a wedding within
the next week or ten days, as advised
by the political friends who declared
it would be a good thing to have it
over with and get the gush cut out"
Miss Margaret Wilson will return
about october 20 to preside over the
White House during the prenuptial
days. 1t is expected that the president
will give several dinners in honor of |
his bride-to-be.
In the early hours of the morning |
when most of Washington is still |
asleep, the future first lady of the |
famous center market where Abraham |
lincoln, Harriet Lane Johnson, Mrs |
Grover Cleveland and other famous |
people also did their morning market |
ing. Mrs Gait is we'll known to the |
market people, as she has patronized |
some of the stalls for years. Several |
days after the announcement of the |
engagement, Mrs. Gait went to the |
market and was greeted with a flood |
of congratulations which she acknowl- |
edged.
1t has just been discovered that |
most of the furniture in Mrs. Cats |
house where the president did a good |
bit of his counting, came from the |
childhood home of her father, Judge |
at Wythev1Ile, Va. Oval |
backed chairs upholstered in red vel |
vet, long pier lasses and nests of ma
hogany tables occupy prominent places
the house. Today Mrs.
Gait refused a very good offer to rent |
her house for the season. This is in
terpreted to mean she intends to re-
tain it and will probably lend it to
her mother, Mrs. William Boiling, who |
is now living in apartments.
