For the moment, however, things

linck's new play, "a Burgomaster of

but that was in the Presidents room,
and not at all in public. Only a
chosen few have the entree, and
only the elect greeted the Mistress
of the White House, while she was
there. And she went to a private
view of the amaryIlis exhibition IN
the Agricultural Department green
houses, arranged for her by Mrs.
Houston, wife of the Secretary of
Agriculture-to which again only a
chosen few-very few-were invited.
The amaryllis show, however, the
first given there for six years. was
open to the public for several days,
receiving much less attention than it
deserved because the public was very
much absorbed in other things than
flower shows just about then.
OF course the departure of the
President and his party was more or
less in public; i. e.; several hundred
Of the public gathered in Union Sta
tion to see them off-and were allow
ed to view the departure from a re-
spectful distance. Mrs. Wilson wore
the same gray walking suit that she
had worn on her one walk through
the shopping district the day before,
and the same little gray hat, but was
almost completely covered up by a
long sealskin coat. And as they
passed through the station one man
in the crowd murmured with a GER
tain grim but dispassionate humor-

tion, and a meeting of governors and
mayors, also at the White House a
few days late, discussing how to make
democracy safe for the nAtion-what
a week! what a week!
Precedence to Presidents
During the one short week that the
flag fioated from the White House
staff. indicating that the President
was "in residence" the wilson's man
aged to do one or two things that
seemed just like old times. For in
stance, the Monday morning an
nouncement: "The President and Mrs.
Wilson attended the morning service
at the Central Presbyterian Church
yesterday. In the afternoon they en-
joyed a long motor drive" might have
been taken from any Monday morning
paper during the two years preceding
last December.
Then, again, on Monday afternoon,
the President and Mrs. Wilson walked
down through the shopping district.
No, they didn't 'go shopping" What
does a woman just back from two
months in Paris want with Washing
ton shops? Mrs. Wilson probably had
on some Of the spoiIs of the Paris
shops. She was wearing a walking
suit of gray, which Washington had
not seen before-a gray hat and a
single lovely orchid. They walked
down G to Ninth, through Ninth to
Pennsylvania avenue, and ID the Ave-
nue. back to the White House-per-
haps a mile all told.
Those were Mrs. wilson's only two
appearances in public during their

they had been working hard for

Vice President and
Mrs. Marshall Return Home.
Scarcely had the Vice President
dropped the gavel when he picked
up his travelling bags and started
gayly west with Mrs. Marshall and
their little adopted son, Morrison
Marshall. Like the President. he said
he would not be back. till it's over
over there! And he will stick to that
if the President does. Just about
the time that President Wilson starts
west from France, Vice President
Marshall will start east from Arizona

gone out-as they do whenever they
see a chance OF being away from
Washington for any length of time
to spend some weeks with Mrs.
Marshall's parents, Judge and Mrs.
Kimsey, who are not in very good
health, and find the climate Of Arizona
the most satisfactory for them. Usu-
ally they spend Christmas with them,
but this season the Christmas recess
was so short that they could scarcely
take so long a journey. Also little
Morrison Marshall-"our little boy
complicates matters. If they are go
ing to be away more than a day or
two they take him along, and they
don't care to take him on long jour
neys unless they are making a stay
CT some length at the other end.
On their return they are. for the
present at any rate, giving up the
quarters they have occupied for the
last four years at the Willard, and
going out to Wardman Park Inn. the
huge, new. almost suburban hotel
which looks down on the city from the
far side of Rock Greek. which the
fashionable official world has taken
up with fervor. Mrs. Marshall does
not say that they are locating out
there permanently-the central lOca-

LuH MaFkE Opening
OF Lenten Season.

Nowadays the keeping of Lent
would seem to be a custom more
honored in the breach than in the o.
servance." But this year the peni-
tential season has been ushered in by
bit of a lull in social activities, due,
in part, to the fact that it is the peni-
tential season and rather more to tho
fact that Ash Wednesday followed 81
close upon the heels Of the adjourn
ment of Congress and the subsequent
exodus of official folk.
Moreover, I suspect that everyone
is glad of an opportunity to rest and
draw breath; and IL the quiet should
pail before the forty days are up

cred an eminently proper form OF
Lenten diversion, and one may evcl

THE labor leaders express the be-
lief that the farmers of this coun-
try will affiliate with the American
Federation of Labor and unite in back
ing up the innumerable demands Oh
the workingmen.
The farmers of the United States
have a well-deserved reputation for
conservatism. We do not believe for
a moment that they are going TO pull
chestnuts from the fire-for radical and
unreasonable labor organizations.
