speeches and no ceremony. 1t was such an
at home indeed as Mrs. Wilson might visit
any day among her friends in Washington,
and she liked the with which she was
able to chat TO her countrywomen In London.
"T cheered you yesterday from St James
street. Mrs. Montague Porch Gady RAN
dolph ChurchilD said to Mrs. Wilson. I do
hope you like II all
"Tt was lovely, Mrs. Wilson responded
eagerly.
Kindly Word for All
Then came nurses and war workers. for
whom Mrs. Wilson had q kindly word and
then more titled women. and so II went on
Till almost every one in the club had had the
honor of presentation Niscountess Har-
court, Lady Paget, Lady Herbert Lady Ward
Lady Henry Lady Baron. Mrs. Walter Burns,
Mrs, John Jacob Astor, Cora Countess of
Stafford, and Mrs. Henry Thornton were
some OF the women who met the President y
wife, but 1t was a democratic tea party and
women who earn their living were there
equally with the rich and arstoCratlc
Mrs Wilson had heard about the club and
She made the round OF it with interest. The
visit of the Presidents wife was like the
passing of n gracious queen in a medieval
romance. Women who had held her hand
for the fraction of a second will account
It an honor all their lives. Those who saw
her IN the street outside will remember her
grace and her dignity.
Il think most of us forgot yesterday that
Mrs. Wilson was the Presidents Wife After
ward we agreed that Mr.. Wilson'S part in
settling the worlds affairs must be infiu-
enced for good by the comradeshlp OF his
wife, but at the moment we were only
conscious that an American woman had
become the living symbol Of an American
ideal-Mrs Wilson herself is the most pic
turesque expression of her husbands ideal
and that it Is character which counts and
that beside 1t rank and riches and power
are little things"

London, Dec. 2S.--A woman reporter writes
in the Daily Chronicle the following account
of Mrs. Wilson's visit yesterday TO the Amer

Mrs Wilson came to London Thursday as
a simple woman of simple ancestry, hut as
the wife of "a great man. The people of Lon
don were eager to greet her, and they chcered
her because of her husband. Yesterday Mrs.
Wilson was cheered everywhere because or
her gracious self. No queen could nave
more queenly manner. no great lady could be
more gracious, woman more utterly WIN
ming than President Wilson's wife.
II had a talk yesterday with Miss Benham.
"'She's n perfectly lovely woman Miss
Bcnham exclaimed. I don't mean only love
liness of face, but loveliness OF character
"A little later when was presented to Mrs.
Wilson at the American Woman's Club was
conscious instantly of this her appealing
charm. As she shook hands with me |
realized the difference in her manner from
that of the ordinary society woman. There
was Armness and strength in her grasp. Her
smile was intensely individual altogether
rpontaneous. and her voice rich and sweet.
with enough suspicion of American accent to
give II a distinctive touch, but no suggestion
of nasal twang.
Knows London Well
Miss Benham told me that Mrs. Wilson
knows London very well, and was extremely
happy TO he here again. She has enjoyed
every moment of her visit. The warm well
come of the crowded streets has been to her
a JOYOUS revelation of English friendship.
She was surprised to find gathering OF
men and women outside the American
Women's Club, and her face III up with
pleasure as she alghted with Mrs. Butler

the embassy, to take tea with the club men,

spoke at meeting of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense at which virtually every
county unit in Georgia was represents

I'VE have now got to declare" he
said, "and make good, new Fourth
OF July for the whole world"
After referring to agricultural con-
ditions briefly, which, he said, had
been changed as a result of the war,
Secretary Houston made an appeal for
unity in the nation and urged that
every man, woman and child forget
every other interest save that of WIN
ming the war. A nations strength, he
asserted, is measured in battle by the
hold that the cause for which it fights
has upon the minds and hearts of the
entire people.
Germany has issued a series of
stupid challenges to the world" he
said. 'of which the challenge to the
United States was the last of the
series. The quickest and cheapest
way to meet that challenge is for us
to put every ounce of our intelligence,
will power and resources against it
at the earl. It possible moment"
The defer councils two day meet
ing opened shis morning when a tele-
gram of greetings was read from
