Paris, Dec, IL (By mall.
The biggest story In the world-in n
deerskin coat-stood on the bridge of
the George washington as she steamed
out of New York harbor. 1t was Presl-
dent Wilson. The coat he wore was the
gift Of a Georgia friend and made OF
several fine deerskins. Hat in hand, he
stood beside Mrs. Wilson acknowledging
the din of whistles. sirens. bells and
cheers that voiced bon voyage.

President Wilson rested most of the
first three days. retiring early. Mrs.

and men and women burst into rounds
OF cheers.
The President was evidently much
pleased, he bowed and smiled to right
and left. His hat was not on his head
for a second, and he kept waving 1t as
soma more than usually exuberant
cheerer caught his eye.
He passed, and after another detach-
ment OF the escort came the second car
rlaEe with Mrs. Wilson. the Queen and
Princess Mary. Mrs. Wilson acknowl-
edged the cheers only by smiling and
kept chatting with the Queen.
The royal and presidential procession
swept by at n gentle trot around the
Memorial amid a hurricane Of cheers,
while the "waacs" in their enthusiasm
forgot their discipline and ran around
to get another view Of Wilson. Then
the procession disappeared through the
main gates of the palace into the interior
courtyard.
Crowd surses Toward Balcony
But the crowd had noted that red
hanglngs had been put In place on the
broad balcony of the palace and knew
that meant the President would be
coming out to show himself to the peo-
pie. The soldiers and police were with
drawn. and in thousands the spectators
surged up to the palace railings. The
sentries were submerged. young cadet
officer climbed to the top of a sentry
box, and in a minute all along the front
Of the palace the rallings were adorned
by adventurous climbers.
The police ordered them down, but
little later an American bluejacket and
an American aviator established them
selves securely on the pedestal of one
Of the ornamental lamps that break the
railings. Each had large American
flag. and the sailor, waving his, excitedly
called for cheers for the President for
the King. for Haig and for Foch. Then
he signed to the crowd impressively and
called for three groans for the Kaiser,
which were given no less heartily

the crowd, and they began to chant,
I'VE want Wilson" Somewhere else a
number of women sang God Save the
King" and the crowd became little
impatient.
Hasn't the President drunk that cup
of tea yet?' called one cockney with
characteristic humor. But he had
hardly shouted It when the President
himself was seen coming out on the bal
cony. with him was the King. BE-
hind them came Mrs. Wilson and the
Queen. Princess Mary and the, Duke of
Connaught were also in the party. As
they appeared once more great storm
Of cheers went up.
Speech Impossible
The President stood gazing at the
multitude gathered to do him honor
ond bowed again and again. It was
quite impossible for him to make a
speech. AS far as he could see through
the gathering dusk there were men and
women cheering, waving flags and
swinging their hats. All he could do
was to turn from one side to another
and bow and wave his hat in recogni-
ton of the greeting Mrs. Wilson was
by his side with little Union Jack in
her hand, which she fluttered toward the
crowd, and by the side of their guests
stood the King and Queen. half a pace
to the rear, evidently delighted at the
reception given to the Chief Executive
of the United States.
SO the little group stood for flve or
ten minutes, while the public did all It
could to emphasize its welcome. The
President and Mrs. Wilson chatted a lit
tie with the King and Queen, and then,
with a farewell bow from Mr.. Wilson,
they passed into the palace
Even after that some of the specta-
tors found 1t hard to turn away, and
they waited around the gates to see the
President and Mrs. Wilson drive out to
pay their formal official calls on Queen
Alexandra at Marlborough House and
the Duke of Connaught at Clarence
House. 4.

palace, but they were the only per-
sons for whom places were reserved.
The space at the end of the Mall
is admirably arranged for pageant.
In the center stands the Queen Vic
toria memorial in white marble and
a great arc 300 yards in diameter is
marked all around it by low walls
and ornamental gates giving on the
park. Yesterday this circle was kept
empty. the lower platform of the
memorial being occupied only by a
contingent of the Women's Auxiliary
Army Corps and the roadway was
kept by lines of bluejackets on one
side and guardsmen on the other.
This drove the crowd back TO the
circumference, and there they massed
in solid banks. They balanced them
selves on the low walls; they clam
bered up the gates; they comman'
deered park chairs and perched them
selves on them. They began to as
semble hours before the President ar.
rived and they waited patiently for
the chance of seeing him for mo-
ment.
Progress Traced by Tide OF Sound
The first intimation that he was ap-
Droaching was the boom of the presi-
Dental salute, echoing from the high
buildings. Then came the sound OF
cheers. As the procession passed along
PiCcadilly. a quarter Of a mile away, and
turned down Constitution Hill, its course
could be traced by the tide of sound
which drew nearer and nearer.
The crowd made one last effort to
pack tighter and see better. the

like bluejackets on a battleship, and the
figures of the escort of Life Guards came
into view. The crowd held its cheers
until the first royal carriage came by
and then gave vent to its enthusiasm
with full energy. Children were hoisted

LEGHORN HAT IS A FAvORITE
Some Of This Seasons Styles Are En-
broidered Directly Upon the Hat
Other Decorations.

Exquisitely simple was a leghorn
hat of the ever-pleasing picture"
shape, with a fiat crown and droop-
ing brim. A wide blue ribbon Of sill
yer luster and velvety softness was
drawn around the high crown, COW
ering 1t at one side and crushed at
the other end In a loose bow with
scarf ends which hung over the brim.
Tucked In about the lower edge of
the ribbon were roses. alternating with
tiny clusters of grapes. A very mar
row binding Of the blue edged the
brim.
Upon another large leghorn was laid,
to all appearances, an entire hat of
lavender georgette crepe. The crown
was soft /: the brim, stiffened with tiny
wires, reached almost to the edge of
the leghorn brim and was fastened Sc
curely to 1t. About the crown were
more soft folds Of the crepe. In front
was a large cluster of lilacs, reddish
Persian blooms and purple blossoms,
opened to disclose their blush petals.

ABOUT OUR SHOES
Buttoned Footgear Uses More
Leather Than the Laced.
Spats Likely 70 Be Strongly In Favor
Again ~ Well ~ Knitted
Woolen Stockings

Every woman with her eyes open
must have noticed that button shoes
are little worn, and no doubt the fact
that lace shoes are, ~ Q general thing,
heater and trimmer and more easily
kept In condition has q good deal to
do with this, declares q fashion writer.
The fact that button shoes use up quite
a little bit more leather than lace
shoes Is the big reason behind their
disappearance from fashion, say those
who know. It does seem q very little
leather to save. doesn't it, But then
this is the day when we appreciate the
importance Of very small things; the
saving Of a slice OF bread q day, a
lump Of sugar or q half pound Of meat
-trifles that we are assured amount
to enormous proportions in the aggre-
gate.
From the point Of view Of good sense
pure and simple, We might wish that
shoes for autumn were not going to be
30 thinly soled. Thicker soles are
warmer and dryer and do not need re-
pairing 90 often. but the government
has decreed that for civilians NO soles
shall be Of more than very moderate
thickness, the exact thickness being
set down by the rules in definite terms.
Since the height of shoes Is to be
limited to eight and a half or nine
inches, there Is every reason to believe
that low shoes will be worn to q very
great extent, even in cool weather. We
are not In love with q low high shoe.
though we find the Oxford entirely
satisfactory; and, OF course, II the
nine-inch shoe Is q conservation and
patriotic shoe, the low shoe is even
more SO. To prevent the low shoe
from being the cause Of colds and
chills, women will wear spats again as
fondly as they did two seasons ago, or
perhaps they will take to heavier
stockings. Some women, you know,
wore knitted wooden stockings last
winter with low shoes. and found the
combination warmer than high shoes
and the usual thin stockings.
