MRS. WILSON NOW HAS LAST
WORD ON WHITE HOUSE GUESTS
(By United Press)

Washington, Jan. 8.-Mrs. Wilson
today is the ultimate authority
on all invitations to White House
social functions. For the first time
in years, management of these events
has been transferred from the execu-
tive offices to the mansion proper.
AS result, the number of invited
guests to the state events has fallen
off between fifty and sixty per cent.
Incidentally the new regime has
brought joy and peace to the minds
of assistant secretaries in the bust
ness wing of the White House. In
the past, the functions given by the
president have been attended about
equally by those on the regular
White House lists and by those who
request special Invitations. Each
reception is preceded by letters and
phone calls from senators, congress-
men and others, appealing in behalf
of themselves, or others, for precious
cards of admission.
Now it's all changed. The assist
ants merely refer those asking invi-
tations, directly to Mrs. Wilson or
her secretary, Miss Edith Benham.
Hence the big reduction in guests,
noted for the first time at the ju-
dicial reception.

that moved the c;ITGiI, and was rush ing up the stairs again with never a pause for breath.
 A strange sight met her eyes in the twins room. The twins themselves were in each others arms, sobbing bit terly. Fairy was still looking hurried ly through the dresser drawers.
 'They are gone" walled Carol, "our beautiful ruby rings that belonged to grandmother"
 "Ncnsense" cried Prue with nervous anger, you've left them in the bath room, or on the kitchen shelves. You're always leaving them somewhere over the place. Come on, and we'll search the house just to convince you"
 ''No, no," shrieked the twins. Lets lock the door and get under the bed
 The rings were really valuable. Their grandmother, tl2ir mothers mother, whom they had aever seen, had divided her real jewelly' between her two daughters. And tue Hotlser of these parsonage girls, had further di- vidcd her portion to make it reach through her own family of girls
 Our rings! Our rings !a the twins were wailing, and Connie. awakened by the noise, was crying beneath tke covers of her bed.
 Maybe we'd better phone for Mr. Allan" suggested Fairy. The girls are so nervous they will be hysterical by the time We finish searching the house.
 "Well, let's do the upstairs then" said Prudence. "Get your slippers and kimonos, and we'll go into daddy's room.'
 But inside the door of daddy's room, with the younger girls clinging to her. and Fairy looking odd and disturbed, Prudence stopped abruptly and stared about the room curiously.
 Fairy, didn't father leave his watch hanging on that nail by the table? Seems to me I saw it there this morn- ing. I remember thinking I would tease him for being forgetful.'
 And the watch was not there.
 q think it was Sunday he left it." answered Fairy in low voice. T re- member seeing 1t on the nail and think

trade"
 Prudence was silent for several long seconds. Then she inquired in low voice, Did you tell him why you want ed it?"
 Yes, I explained the whole situa- tion.''
 What did he say?''
 He said he knew just how I felt, because he knew he couldn't go to church in his wife's coat.-No, 1 said that myself, but he agreed with me. He did not say very much, but he looked sympathetic. He said he anticipated great pleasure in seeing me in my new coat at church next Sunday"
 "Go on with your luncheon, twins, :" said Prudence sternly. You'll be late to school. We'll see about going down town when you get home tonight, Con nie. Now, eat your luncheon, and don't talk about coats any more.'
 When Connie had gone back to school, Prudence went straight to Mir. Harold's bank. Flushed and embar- rassed, she explained the situation frankly. My sympathies are all with Connie" she said caudidly But I am afraid father would not like it. We are dead set against borrowing. After our mother was taken, we were crowd ed pretty close for money. So We had to go in debt. It took us two years to get it paid. Father >and Fairy and I talked 1t over then, and decided we would starve rather than borrow again. Even the twins understood it, but Con nie was too little. She doesn't know how heartbreaking it is to keep hand ing over every cent for debt, when one is just yearning for other things. 1 do wish she might have the coat, but I'm afraid father would not like it. She gave me the five dollars for safekeep- ing, and have brought it back"
 MT. Harold shock his head. "No, Connie must have her coat. This will be good lesson for her. It will teach her the bitterness of living under debt Besides, Prudence, Tthink in my heart that she is right this time. This is a case where borrowing is justified. Get her the coat, and I'll square the ac- count with your father" Then he added, And I'll look after this salary business after this. I'll arrange with the trustees that am to pay your ia ther his full salary the first of every month, and that the church receipts are to be turned in to me. And if they do not pay up, my lawyer can do q lit- tie Investigating! Little Connie earned that five dollars. for she taught one trustee sorry lesson. And he will have to pass it on to the others in self defense. Now, run along and get the coat, and if five dollars isn't enough you can have as much more as you need. Your father will get his salary after this, my dear, if We have to mort gage the parsonage !"

ing he would need it--but 1 believe it was Sunday"
 Prudence looked under the bed, and in the closet but their fathers room was empty. Should they go farther? For moment, the girls stood looking at one another queStiOningly. Then they heard loud thud downstairs, as of someone pounding on door. There was no longer any doubt. Someone was in the house. Connie and the twins screamed again and clung to Prudence frantically. And Fairy said, .I think we'd better lock the door and stay right here until morning, Prue."
 But Prudence faced them stubborn ly. "If you think I'm going to let any one steal that fifty dollars, you are mistaken. Fifty dollars does not come often enough for that, l can tell you"
 "It's probably stolen already" ob- jeeted Fairy.
 "Well, if it is, we'll find out who did it, and have them arrested. Pm going down to telephone to the police. You girls must lock the door after me, and stay right here"
 The little ones screamed again, and Fairy said Don't be silly, Prue, if you. go I'm going with you, of course. We'll leave the kiddies here and they can lock the door. They'll be perfectly safe in here"
 But the childrea loudly objected to this. If Prue and Fairy went, they would go. So down the stairs they trooped, timorous trembling crowd. Prudence went at once to the tele- phone. and called up the residence of the Allans, their neighhors across the street. After a seemingly never-ending wait, the kind-hearted neghbor left his bed to answer the insistent tele- phone. Falteringly Prudence explained their predeament, and asked him to come and search the house He prom. ised to be there in five minutes. with his son to help.
 "Now," said Prudence more cheer. fully, well just go out to the kitchen and wait. It's quiet there, and away from the rest of the house, and we'll be perfectly safe To the kitchen, then, they hurried, and found real comfort in it's smallness and secure. ness. Prudence raked up the dying embers of the fire, and Fairy drew the blinds to their lowest limits. The twins and Connie trailed them fear. fully at every step.
 Every breath of wind against the windows drew startled cries from the younger girls, and both Fairy and Pru- dence were white with anxiety when

A Burglars Visit.

"Pruei''
 A small hand gripped Prudence's shoulder. and again came hoarsely whispered:
 "Prue !"
 Prudence sat up in bed with a bounce.
 What in the world?" she began gazing out into the roo4n. half-lighted ny the moonshine, and seeing Carol and Lark shivering beside her bed
 "Sh Sh! Hush 1" whispered Lark. There's burglar in our room !''
 By this time, even sound-sleeping fatry was awake. "Oh there is!o she scoffed
 Yes there is," declared Carol with some heat. I've heard him, plain as day. He stepped into the closet, didn't he, Lark?"
 "He certainly did" agreed Lark.
 Did you see kiln?"
 "No. we heard him. Carol heard him first, and she spoke, and nudged me. Then l heard him, too. He was at our dresser, but he shot across the room and into the closet. He closed the door after him. He's there now"
 "You've been dreaming" said Fairy, lying down again.
 "We don't generally dream the same thing at the same minute said Carol stormily. T tell you he's in there."
 And you two great big girls came off and left poor little Connie in there alone with a burglar, did you? Well, you are nice ones, 1 must say"
 And Prudence leaped out of bed and started for the door, followed by Fairy, with the twins creeping fearfully along in the rear.
 "She was asleep" muttered Carol.
 "We didn't want to scare her. added Lark.
 Prudence was careful to turn the switch by the door, SC that the room was in full light before she entered. The closet door was wide open. Con- nie was soundly sleeping. There was no one else in the room.
 ~'You see?" said Prudence sternly.
 'Tlt bet he took our ruby rings" de- clared Lark, and the twins and Fairy ran to the dresser to look.
 But sickening realization had come home to Prudence In the lower hall, under the staircase, was small dark closet which they called the dungeon. The dungeon door was big and solid, and was equipped with heavy catch lock. In this dungeon, Prudence kept the family silverware, and all the money she had on hand. as it could there be safely locked away. But more often than not, Prudence forgot to lock it.
 Mir. Starr had gone to Burlington that morning to attend special revival services for three days. and Prudence had fifty whole dollars in the house. an unwonted sum in that parsonage And the dungeon vas not locked. With out a word, she slipped softly out of the room. ran down the stairs, making never a sound in her bare feet, and saw, somewhat to her surprise, that the dungeon door was open. Quickly she flung 1t shut, pushed the tiny key

 Connie stood solemnly beside the table, her eyes still fastened on the coat. cut down from her fathers. "Can 1 go and take a walk?' she asked finally.
 May I. you mean" suggested Fairy.
 "Yes, may !? Maybe l can reconcile myself to it."
 Yes, go and take walk" urged Prudence promptly. eager to get the small sober face beyond her range of vision.
 If l am not back when the twins get home, go right on and eat without me. I'll come back when I get things strengthened out in my mind"
 When Connie was quite beyond hear ing. Prudence dropped her head on the table and wept. "Oh, Fairy, if the mem-
