hat rise in response to their cheers:
Then a tonneau door slammed, and
around the corner shot the President
and his gasolene parade Of Secret Ser
vice motors. police motors and news
paper scout taXis.
The parade came to halt in front OF
the apartment house at IL West Tenth
Street, where Mrs. Gait is the guest OF
her ward, Miss Gertrude Gordon. the
President disappeared into the house
A few minutes later he came out with
Mrs. Gait, whose snowy furs and purple
orchids were no brighter than the smile
the two exchanged, as the President
handed his bride-to-be into the limou
sine.
Turning back uptown, the motors fol
lowed Fifth Avenue to Fifty-hfth
Street. where Mrs. Gait and the Presi-
dent entered the Fifth Avenue Presby-
terrain Church through side door.
They occupied the pew of Mrs. Edgar
6. Auchincloss. few minutes later
they were Joined by Mrs. Edgar Auchin-
Gloss, Mrs. Gordon Auchincloss and
Colonel House, who had come tfoot
from his home. Gordon Auchinclos9
and his brother were other additions to
the party.
Several pews around that Of Mrs
Auchincloss were vacated to make room
for the Secret Service men ano police
guards.
The Rev. DR.. John II. Jowett, pastor
of the church. made no direct ref
erence to the Presidents presence, but
he did offer a prayer that the divine
spirit move Presidential decisions. Al
the close Of the services DR.. Jowett re-
quested his Pensioners, among whom
are some of the wealthiest men IN the
city, TO remain seated until the Presi-
dent and his party had left the church;
This time, however, crowd had
gathered az the side entrance. It's
cheers entail further strain on the
brim of the J sident's hat. Returning
to Miss GordOn's home, Mrs. Gait and
the President sat down at dinner win
Miss Gordon, Miss Bertha Boiling, mrs;
Galt's sister; Dr. Cary 7. irayson and
others of the party who accompanied
Mr.. Wilson from Washington.
Shortly before o'clock the central
figures in present day Americas most
famous romance took TO their motor
once more. This time they visited the
Presidents sister, Mrs. Annie Howe, at
the St. Regis. As he returned through
the corridor President Wilson stopped
TO exchange a few words with Manager
Bevin. o,.
"A glorious day" he remarked. at
is pity the Army and Navy did not
have weather like this for their game.
John Drew, whom the President saw
on a Washington stage last week, was
one Of those who watched the departure
OF the party
Almost Hit Trolley Car.
In Fifth Avenue, through the Park
10 Seventv-second Street and thence TO
Riverside Drive whirled the Presidents
car and its escort. Entering the Drive
the press Of traffic was 80 great that
the speed of the caravan was ma
terially lessened. More than once, as
occupants Of other machines recognized
the President and swerved in 70 get
closer look at him, the Secret Service
men got a scare. But the President was
too busy pointing out the warships at
anchor in the Hudson to share their
worries. At 18TH Street the process
sion turned homeward. Perhaps the
closest shave of the trip came when
Fifth Avenue and Fourteenth Street
was reached.
The police automobile In the lead
/ Just missed being struck by cross
/ town car. After momentary grinding
/ of the brakes the motorman seemed in
clined to dispute the right Of way with
the Presidential machine. The yells OF
the Secret Service men woke him up
and car and motor stopped with only q
few feet TO spare.
Mrs Gait had supper with Miss Cor.
don, but the President returned TO the
home Of Colonel House, who had dined
early in the afternoon with Robert
Lansing, Secretary Of State, and Brand
Whitlock, Minist, to Belgium. The
President was tc nave been one Of the
dinner party, but the discovery of q
prior engagement forced him TO change
his plans. Colonel House, however, &C
companied Secretary Lansing to the
Biltmore and had a long conference
] with him there
