WASHINGTON, Aug. ~.
IT'S been a queer summeri
Perhaps in some places It's
l still queer summer. But when
the President returns from his vaca-
ton and settles down in the White
House. and the Cabinet is practically
all here, and Congress IL reassembling
and getting down to work, "indica-
tons are not wanting" that the sum-
mer, SO far as Washington Is con-
cerned, Is practically over.
From now until December 1 Con-
gress will probably be in pretty con-
tinuous session. Amy fences not suf-
fciently mended to stand the strain
o; the November elections will have
u 60 smash. For It Is perfectly
understood. with important legislation

Certainly nobody grudges the Pres
idsnt his poor little five days vaca-
ton. He needed It, and he looked
a II It had done him a world of good.
But Warrington did rather resent the
dispatches from Magnolia telling how
after temperature OF los in wash-
ington the cool, almost autumnal
weather Of the Massachusetts resort
seemed very good to him. For while
Washington was having temperatures
around the 100 mark SO was every
other place in the country. And just
about the time the President went
to Magnolia the mercury in Wash
nston dropped about thirty degrees
and he would have had brisk, bracing
sutumnal weather. with wraps in
order, right here at home.
Mrs. Wilson, being eminently HUI
man, could not go of even Tor a few
days without round Of the shops, so
on Wednesday afternoon, Just a few
hours before they started, she sud
denly appeared on r street. looking

had for garniture one big pink rose

she wore in her belt-and she carried

Mrs. Wilson Fond Of Fans.
She certainly has the fan habit!
That one carried one back to the ap-
parently unlimited supply Of big
graceful feather fans that gave va
Eety to her evening costumes last
winter in spite of the fact that they
were nearly always basically black or
white. The big lazy graceful fan
making a vivid splash Of color, or
toning In with the costume, is a char
scteristic individual note in Mrs. Will
sons attire.
The President and Mrs. Wilson
seem to have had a nice restful time
at Magnolia They don't seem to
have done thing but play golf ex-
cept considerable walking. and they
either lunched or dined each day with
the Houses while the Houses did the
other thing each day with them.
And by the way. some ono has
brought back tall tales from Magnolia
Of Mrs Marshall Fields prowess as
a walker. They say she is preaching
walking as a panacea for all the ills
that flesh Is heir to. and actually COW
ering considerable distances herself.
