mind when and on what floor he would be expected to make his next stop.
 And in strident and most familiar tone he broke the deep silence. which everyone else accorded the President by the pointed and suggestive ques- ton:
 What floor bulIies?n
 To the rear there was an audible giggle. And then the President, in very gentle manner, responded:
 The Senate floor. please"
 When the stop was made and the President and his followers had stepped from the car MT. Propst, final ly impressed with the fact that an unusual situation had been developed, inquired of newspaper men who were bound for the press gallery;
 Say boys, who was that guy, any how?"
 When someone replied that the guy was President Wilson MT. Propst nothing daunted and deter mined to make the best of the situ- ation, responded:
 Well. it's strange he didn't recog- nize mel"
 Since that time, however, the Presi- dent has recognized MT. Propst He never enters the car without salut- ing and inquiring as to the health of the man in charge. And Mir. Propst al ways replies:
 T am very well this morning, MT, President. What floor, please?"
 And as a matter of fact. the joke was on the President. He wore that inarspicious morning-not the silk hat which is sometimes mistaken for the badge of office-but 30-cent fedora affected by the members of the press. Otherwise his appearance indicated that he had approached the Senate with his peace without victory" proposi- ton, hailed by his idolaters as the greatest preachment since the ser mon on the mount" directly from the golf links. And as his play fellow, Dr. Grayson, was not along, can there be wonder that the Alabamian com mitted a trivial blunder?
