of course. have been Vermont woman

was he selected the sister of one who was

The true story is this: Two sisters,
Boiling, married two cousing. Gait. One
of the cousins was the wealthy Calf of
the Washington jewelry concern of that
name. He died, and on Saturday last
President Wilson married the widow.
The other cousin was A. II Calf, who
was for some time the secretary of Sena-

HYDE Park as the Senator's secretary
Mrs. Gait was a resident of that town.
We doubt if President Wilson realizes
