and Bessie Baker and is looking
well and feeling better than usual.
When she went as bride,
with her husband to visit his
dear sister Jennie, Mrs. Joseph
Wilson. the president was only sew
en- months old and was introduced
to his new aunt as '"Tommie" and
ne has never besn anything ielstI
but Tommie to her.
When she came to Atlanta for the
opening of Oglethorpe University
she made very brief visit to Mari
eta but intends to remain at least
several weeks tlis time because
Miss Cliff is in bed and all her
friends have humored her so much
she is in danger of being spoiled
and needs her dear "Sissie as a
tonic. That is not an original re-
mark but is borrowed from Mrs.
Woodrow Wilson who recently Wis
tied tlis dear aunt of the president

Aunt Ph.elie, you are a positive
tonic to me-
And what did you think OF her?''

Oh | just fell in love with her.
sac is so natural and dignifed and
never puts on airs; and she devotes
herself SO entirely to Tommie
told her he was worth all her time
Just to take care OF him and she
said indeed he is so that alone
would make me love her.
Did you ever realize how ter
ribly lonely that poor man was af-
ter his daughters married and FL
lie Lou died? He had no one to talk
to that was near and dear because
Margaret had her own career and
was absorbed in that
1t is quite evident that Mrs Wood
row believes heaven chose a wife
for the president whom she always
calls Tommie.
Mrs. Woodrows first daughter
was named Jennie tor the presidents
mother. When mis- beautiful sis
ter Annie" Mrs. Howe, was recent
ly buried in South Carolina the
president went in his automobile
from the cemetery to visit his Aunt
Phelie and she says it was simply
dreadful to see the precautions tax
en- for his safety by the police, the
secret service men and her daugh-
ter, Mrs. Clarke, WHO had all the
doors and windows of their house Sc
curely locked except the front ones.
The street was thronged with peo-
pie seeking to catch a glimpse OF
the president, who is one Of the
worlds most exalted personages,
and his guards, within the secret
service men, his wife, his daughter
Margaret and Dr. Grayson.
Mrs. Woodrow brought two very
interesting souvenirs Of the presi-
dent from the recent state fair IN
Columbia. One is a picture woven
in black and white just as the roses
are woven in white and red table
cloths. The engraving of the presi-
| dents face was placed on top of the
loom and five copies were woven at
once in a row.
People tried to buy these pictures
but none were sold. However when
some one told the weaver who the
Wnite-haired lady was whose brown
eyes sparkled over such fine like
ness of the president, he cut me pic
| ture off and gave il to aer. The 9TH
er is a snapshot Of "our president
| and our governor" showing a pro-
file of President Wilson with one
hand pointing to something he is
showing Governor Naming who is
looking over his shoulder. 1t is \
hne picture and was given away by
/ the officers of the fair. This is the
third Manning who has been COVER
nor of South Carolina and ne is
greatly beloved and appreciated.

sac stood arm in arm with the wife
OF a staunch supporter OF Judge
Hughes and declared she would not
send a telegram OF Cougratulation to
Tommte until the result OF the cleo
tion had been officially announced.
But she knows he is one on the fin
est men in the world because he is
such close kin to her husband. DR..
James Woodrow. who was so Won
