John Tyier's Romance.
John Tyler was twice married, the
second time while he was president.
His first wife was Letitia Christian.
who belonged to enc of the old faEai-
lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent Of the United States she suffered
a stroke of paralysis and a short tine
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died-in the
White House
The second winter after her death
the president met Julia, the daughter
CT Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on enc of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
he Wooed as a youth of twenty
would WOO, innpetuously and roman
tically. 1t wasn't a great while before
they were engaged and a short time
later they were married quietly at the
Church of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry uz.-
til fairly late in life. Then he fell in
love with Frances Fclso7n, the daugh-
ter OF his law partner She was a
girl whom he had known from early
ch1ldhood-there was a time when
she called him Uncle Cleve." Mr..

ing of Virginia, was well represented
with knsmen and kinswomen. She
and her mother, Mrs. William H. Boil
ing, have lived together for several
years, and Mrs. Boiling, of course, was
the dowager queen of the occasion.
The brides sisters, Miss Bertha
Boiling Of Washington and Mrs. H H.
Maury of Admission, Ala, and her
brothers, John Randolph Boiling,
Richard w Boiling, Julian B. Boiling,
all of Washington; R. E. Boiling of
Panama and DR.. W. A Boiling of
Louisville, KY, attended the cere-
mony.
It will be remembered that Miss
Margaret Wilson and Miss Helen
Woodrow Ecnes really brought about
the romance of the president and his
bride. During the first Mrs. Wilson's
last illness Miss Bones was almost
constantly at her side The vigil was
tedious and wearing, and after Mrs.
Wilson's death Miss Bones was in
such frail health herself that Dr.
Carey Grayson, family friend and
White House physician, was much
worried. He urged Miss Bones to take
long walks-and Miss Bones did so,
accompanied by her widow friend,
Mrs. Norman Gait, who also enjoyed
journeys afoot.
Friendship Ripens Into Love.
By and by, Miss Bones introduced
Miss Wilson and Mrs. Gait, and the
friendship of these two soon became
intimate. In the natural course of
events Mrs. Gait took luncheon now
and then with her chums in the
White Heuse-and it wasn't long be-
fore the president was enjoying Mrs
Cats charm.
Mr.. Wilson is the sixth president of
the United States to marry a widow.
Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Fill
more and BENJAMIN Harrison were his
predecessors in this sort of a union,
but in not more than one or two cases
was the widow the second wife-as in
this case. John Tyler and Theodore
Roosevelt married twice, but their
second wives had not been welded be-
fore.
1t is scarcely necessary to recall
George Washingtnn's marriage. The
world knows of his courtship, engage

women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Gait
home.
AS soon as-the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash
lon, while the smiling groom received
congratulations, the newly-weds sped
away in a big White House automobile
to the Union station and took a train
to the South for their honeymoon. If
they told anybody their destination
that person kept his secret well. It
is reported from family circles, how
ever, that the couple will be away IN
til the first week in January.
They must be back in Washington
by January z, though, because on that
date the president and Mrs. Wilson
will act as host and hostess at a great
reception to be given in the White
House for the Pan-American repre-
sentatives at the national capital.
Moreover. congress will have recon
vened, after the holiday season, and
Mr.. Wilson will have to be back at
his desk.

Secretary RedfieId Warns Con.

Trade Invasion.
MUST PROTECT OUR MARKETS
Commerce Secretary Predicts Great
Struggle for World Business When
European War Ends.

Washington, Dec. 17-LegisIation
to protect the Industrial and CONNER
cial markets OF the United States
from a destructive type of struggle
and unfair competition at the close
OF the European war, is recommended
to Congress today by Secretary Red
field in his annual report Every
stratagem of industrial war, he SAYS,
will be used by powerful foreign agen-
cies against American industries
which may menace large markets
heretofore controlled abroad
To prevent unfair competition"
the secretary suggested that the ma
chinery of the Department of Justice
and Treasury be used and that Con-
gress supplement adequate means to
protect American markets.
A Wrong to Be Prevented.
I'm my Judgment" said the secre-
tary, ''the matter is one which may be
more wisely treated as an attempted
wrong to be forbidden than as an eco
nomic matter which needs to be re-
strained. l should prefer, therefore,
to deal with it by method other than
tariffs, CHASING it as an offense SINH
lar to the unfair domestic competition
we now forbid. 1t seems possible that
by using the existing machinery of
the Treasury Department and Depart
ment of Justice We may restrain this
foreign unfair competition on both
sides OF the sea
81 recommend, therefore, that such
legislation be enacted as will give to
the foreign representatives of the
above named departments such added
powers and increased personnel as
they may need for this purpose, and
that it be enacted if possible that mer-
chandise sold in unfair competition
OF under circumstances which tend to
create a monopoly in behalf of the
foreign producer in American markets
shall be forfeited.
Would Amend Clayton Law.
''I also recommend that legislation
supplemental to the Clayton Anti
Trust Act be enacted which shall
make it unlawful to sell or purchase
articles of foreign origin or manufac-
ture where the prices to be paid are
materially below the current rates for
such articles in the country of pro-
duction or from which shipment is
made, in case such prices substantial
