SCORES OF COLLEGE BOYS AND GIRLS RETURN
FOR THE HOLIDAYS AND MERRY SOCIAL LIFE

Americas is preparing Off joyous
Christmastide, and as the Yuletide
season draws rapidly nearer-scarcely
q week in the future now-it does
seem, indeed, a season of happiness. 1t
is also the season of homecoming for
friends near and dear-for loved ones
and those who wait here will count
the hours until the Christmas reun-
ion comes.
The streets are filled with happy
shoppers bent on making Christmas
bright and attractive for some one
else-reflex action making the occa-
sion doubly delightful to the donors.
BY next Thursday nearly all the girls
and boys who are away will have re-
turned, many accompanied by school
mates whose presence will lend an
added interest to the gay and festive
week in Americas.
Many charming visitors will arrive
in the city for the holidays, and any
number of affairs will be crowded into
tie days and nights at home, which
will be entirely too short for the fes-
tlvities. After weeks and weeks of
hard study and practice at the various
"halls of learning the pleasures are
richly deserved.

Wedding Of The President
And White House Lone Lore

reations. After the Presidents court
ship began she took up golf and ON
many Saturday afternoons they were
seen together ON the links at some one
of the country clubs about the capital,
or at other times taking long motor
drives over the Virginia hills or along
the shore roads in lower Maryland. Of
ten they took picnic luncheon from
the White House on their journeys and
ate it by the roadside.
In the White House circle the bride
quickly found her place. She plays
the piano, sings and loves poetry and
when in the intimacy Of the family, the
President often has read aloud his
favorite poems, as rs his custom, she
is said to have been one of his most
interested hearers.
Miss Margaret Wilson the Presi-
dents eldest daughter and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones, his cousin, are said
to have drawn her into the White
House circle in the early autumn OF
1914. From that time, she was fire.
quent guest at the executive mansion
and last summer spent month as the
guest of Margaret Wilson at the sum
mer White House at Cornish, N. H
The engagement was announced on
October 6, not long after the presiden-
tial party returned to Washington for
the winter
Both the President and his bride
agreed not to have their wedding In
the White House but in her home near
Dupont circle which sometimes is
called the social hub of the capital.
She lives there in tastefully arrang-
ed house, somewhat small by compar-
isCn with the mansions which sur
round it. 1t is not large enough for
entertaining on an extended scale and
for that reason large company was
not invited to the wedding. Mr.. Nc
Adoo, the Presidents son-in-law, was
the only member of the cabinet in
cluded in the party. The rest were all
relatives.
The repeatedly expressed wish of
the couple for quiet wedding unat-
tended by any great amount of pub
Lefty is responsible for the general
lack of common knowledge of so many
of the details which attend such
ceremony. No public announcements
have been made of the gifts received
ard likewise there has been no an
ncuncment of the gowns and decora-
tons. New York dressmakers have
been frequently during the last few
weeks at the White House and at the
brides home and she has made one or
two shopping trips out of the city to
complete her trousseau.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 49,
Woodrow Wilson is the third presi-
dent to be married during his term OF
office. President Tyler was the first
and President Cleveland was the
other. Mr.. Tyler, like Mr.. Wilson, was
left widower during his term. Two
years later, in 1914, in New York City
he was married to Miss Julia Gardi-
ner, who then presided at the White
House functions during the last year
Of her husbands term of Office.
Grover Cleveland's marriage to Miss
Frances Folsom took place in the Blue
Room of the executive mansion. II
was comparatively private affair for
the invited guests included only the
cabinet members, their wives and a
few friends and relatives of the cou-
ple.
President Wilson's wedding is the
third in his family since he took office.
The first White House wedding of his
term was that of his second daughter,
Jessie Woodrow Wilson, to Francis
Bowes Sayre, and the other was that
Of his youngest daughter, Eleanor, to
Secretary McAdoo, of the treasury de-
partment. The president now has two
grandchildren, the little son of the
Sayres and the baby daughter of the
McAdoos.
The president and his bride are both
Virginians by birth. He was born at
Staunton, SO years ago this month,
and she was born at WythevilIe, the
daughter of Judge and Mrs. William
H. Boiling, and was one child in a
large family. Two sisters, Mrs. Alex
ander H. Gait and Miss Bertha Boiling,
and three brothers, John Randolph,
Richard Wilmer and Julian B. Boiling,
live in Washington Rolfe E. Boiling,
another brother, is manager of t he
Commercial bank, at Panama, and an
other, DR., William E. Boiling, lives in
Louisville, XIV. A third sister, Mrs.
M. H. Maury, lives in Admission, Ala
bama. The brides family has been
prominent in the history of Virginia,
and she herself is a descendant of
Pocahontas, the Indian chiefs daugh-
ter who married John RoIfe.
Since 1896 Mrs. Gait has lived in
Washington, belonging to none of the
distinct social sets, but active in char
ity and philanthropy in her own ways.
From her first husband she inherited
control of a prosperous mercantile
business of which she has been ac-
credited with now being the active
head and many tributes are paid to
her ability. But activity in business,
her friends say, never has diminished
her interest in a woman's world. She
loves flowers, books and out door rec
