ID. From this circle came the story
Of . friendship, the elimination of

the troubled and lonely life of the ma
tons chief executive.

It was Miss Margaret Wilson and
her cousin, Miss Bones, who drew Mrs.
Gait into the White House circle.
They met her first in the early autumn
Of last year and were so much at
tracted by her that they sought her
out more and more frequently and the
friendship between them rapidly ripen.
Cd into an atfectionate intimacy.
Mrs. Gait spent a month this sum-
msr at Cornish a. the house guest OF
the Presidents eldest daughter. 1t
was through this intimacy of his
daughter aud cousin that the President
had an opportunity to meet and know
Mrs. Gait.
One of the most interesting facts
about the engagement. indeed, as told
by friends, is that the Presidents
daughters should have chosen Mrs.
Gait for their admiration and friend
ship before their father did.
Gifted With Natural Charm.
Mrs. Gait 10 the widow of q well-
known business man OF Washington
who died eight years ago, leaving a

her girlhood was spent and where her
father, William H. Boiling, was q

known Mrs. Gait for many years, she
has been regarded as an unusual
beauty, gifted with a natural charm.
Friends. speak Of her as being con-
ptantly sought out as q delightful COM
panion, remarkiag especially on her
thoughtfulness and quick capacity for
anything she chose to undertake.

For many weeks Mrs. Gait and her
relatives have been frequent dinner
guests at the White House. Often she
has accompanied the president on mo-
tor rides. She 10 not quite as tall as
Mr.. Wilson, has dark hair and dark
eyes, and always is in stylish attire.
Her tastes are said to be strikingly
similar to those of the president, with
= deep interest in literature and char
lty work.

their pleasure over the announcement
not only because of Mr.. Wilson's per-
sonal happiness, but because they felt
this new companfonship would give
him support and comfort in his home
life "A vital need during the hours Of:

ry Lutz, pastor of the Newton, Mass, Uni
tartan church, read the scripture and gave the
address, taking for his subject 1.-THE New
Age" After reading passages of prophecy
from Isaiah he proceeded to an enquiry as to
what force should constitute the new age
what forces would contribute to its develop
ment and what would be the ultimate outcome
of the new age. He dwelt quite little on the
European war, saying that it was world
servatives who look towards the past and
think of things along traditional lines, or of
the more optimistic or radical who think of the
future with hope and that what will survive is
not perhaps the present institutions but hu-
manity itself and the spirit of religion, as
that is fundamental to the life Of man. He
emphasized finally the brotherhood of man,
the value of humanity and the spiritual value
rather than the material salvation and made
appeal for those present to manifest an in
terest in the movements of the present, to
study them from a religious point of view, so
that finally brotherhood would be realized as
an actual ideal. The benediction was pro-
nounced by Mr.. Upton. Rev. Frederick K.
Gamble. pastor of the Grace Methodist Church
of Bangor, will preach next Sunday evening.

THE NAMING OF SCHOOL BUILDINGS.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: Since
the suggestion was adopted by the committee
on new school buildings, and the trustee, of
giving the name "Peirce School" to the new
building now under construction, the wisdom
of so honoring the names of such of our old
families as the citizens shall elect. becomes
more generally apparent Such names are
usually given to school buildings either as a
testimonial to some benefaction or from the
high regard won in the community by lives of
high purpose or great success in profession
al or business life, or for other reasons. l
shall hope to see this plan still further extend
ed in the future to such school buildings as
may be acquired or erected by or for our city.
There is at present an opportunity to carry
along this idea in the new school now being
modernized and remodeled in the north end of
the city and soon to be occupied. There
would seem to be the best of reasons for
naming this school for the family who used
the building for home so many years-now
broken up by death and removal. l feel GER
tain that the many friends of the family here,
and our citizens generally, would approve of
such an act. 1t would be a deserved compli-
ment to one of our old families whose members
have made themselves men and women OF in
fuence and standing in the communities to
which they have removed. Two members, in
the past, have been associated as teachers in
our public schools. So make the suggestion
that the school building on North High street
be known as the Mcclellan School" and that a
uitable tablet to that effect be affixed to the
building facing High street.
