their fashionable weddings Mt half-past

DEAR SUSAN: How did President
Wilson and Mr.. Hughes-and more es-
peciaiiy their families-manage to live

mind over the suspense. and didn't
even have an election bet to make
things interesting.
with President Wilson safely re-
elected, Washington win escape the up
heaval--social as well as political
which always follows a change Of Ad-
ministration. Nevertheless, there'n be
changes a-plenty to make things inter-
esting.
Custom seems to decree that q re-
elected President may change his Cabi-
net II he desires, but the consensus 10
that he doesn't desire to. It's well
within the bounds OF possibility. how
ever, that there may be one or two In
tbs personnel Of the official family.
II Is whispered that the Attorney
General has been anxious for some time
to return to private practice. and that
only his loyalty to the President ana
the press OF unfinished business has
kept him In Washington so long. Mr..
Houston, Secretary OF Agriculture, -
