MEMORIES:

As twilight shadows gathered,

Near home of king and prince.

Forlorn and dark inside;

When beauty and youth and age
Had welcomed, with much ecfat,
Some favorite of the stage.
And as I turned with a sigh,
There came from the dark'ning wing
Soft notes and words of a song,
One /. had heard Calye sing.

And peeped thru the open stage door
Where the last faint beams Of light
Showed me but cluttered floor.
With bill-boards standing about,
On which were pictures of those
Who charmed with music and song
People whom everyone knows.
On my right stood Maud Powell,
Violinist of the land;

And, with that charm of motion,
She swayed her magic bow,
And the strains of Humoresque
Came thrillingly, sweet and low.
And on the opposite side,
Mixed with scenery and ropes,
Stood smiling Peggy Center,
The girl that has raised our hopes.
But she was somewhat baShful
And only smile she bore,
Which quickly changed to horror
As rat rushed DER the floor
Hearing the swish of satin,

Step from billboard towards me.
Her love for the Isles of Peace,
She told in words sweet and coy;

either reads, plays billiards, or goes
to theater. Detective stories, poems.

less care-free habits of some OF his
predecessors. When the cabinet meets
the presidents advisers are frequently
early, but are seldom late
The president. now 80 years old, is
very healthy, and his only weaknesses
are of the stomach and eyes. Because
of attacks of indigestion he is more or
less on diet most OF the time, but
is as regular in his meals as in all his
other habits.
Society Has No Charms
Society has no charms for Mr.. Will
son and for society with a capital s
he has positive aversion. On more
than one occasion his failure to hide
his feelings has been noticeable. He
avoids all social functions whenever
possible.
AS a breaker Of precedents, Mr.
Wilson set official Washington agasp
even before he came into office by
announcing that he did not desire the
flCtrol inan0nro1 holl 10 fA1lAuua1 hnN
by declining membership in some So
called exclusive clubs which always
had claimed the membership of preSi-
dents.
One of his first acts was to greatly
decrease the number of army and navy
officers assigned to the White House
as aides, until less than a half dozen
remained. Mr.. Wilson abolished the
motorcycle guard which used to sur
round the presidents car when he
went cut on the streets, saying he
wished TO go about Just as any other
citizen.

dressed the congress personally and
no other president since Madison had
addressed the senate separately on
foreign affairs as President Wilson did
in his celegrated peace note. His
fondness for directness of action has
led to the shattering of many other
precedents. .......- r e..
Oftentimes, when he wants to con-
fer with cabinet officer quickly he
walks to his office. He goes to the
bank in person TO deposit his salary,
and when he needs goes shopping
like anyone else. If he wishes to
confer with a senator, and the senator
is spending a quiet evening at home.
the president goes to the senator's
house. Precedent always has decreed
