in some quiet nook In Rock Creek
Park when they started of sedately
to take the air in one OF the White
House motors. They did that same
thing last Sunday, only with more ola
party, than they ever took with them
in the days Of their counting.
They went TO church In the morn
ing-the Central Presbyterian, which
is the Presidents church. not Mrs
wilson's--and the usual crowd was
there waiting to seem them arrive.
And in the afternoon they took one
Of the larger White House motors, and
with Miss Margaret Wilson, Admiral
Grayson and John Randolph Boiling
and a hamper--went off for their
customary Sunday afternoon automo-
bile drive though the parks and out
into the country and. finding a suit
able place for a quiet little family
picnic, had their tea served al fresco-
"even as you and l."
If some of tho crowd that had CAPPED
at them entering the church in the
morning had known of that nice, hu-
man---even bourgeois-little party It
would have been still more interested.
But except at church and at their be-
loved Keith's they have been nowhere
where the general public could satisfy
it's curiosity with a glimpse OF them.
Even golf they have more or less
eschewed, having been out on the links
only few times. Anyhow, they take
the most elaborate precautions against
n gallery" when they play golf.
,hap
to be few out and notify the particular
country club they decide to honor on
any particular day, so that they will
have things pretty much to themselves
and not be liable to intrusions.
Miss Margaret Wilson, by the way,
was the honor guest at a box supper
being given under the auspices of the
General Civic and Community Centre
| at Central High School tonight.
One wonders whether in the last
week or ten days Miss Margaret Will
son has given a thought to little
two-year-old namesake of hers, whose
name has been almost as much in the
daily papers in Washington as her
own--little Margaret Wilson Of 623
Hamlin street, N. E. Her father, De-
his life In the performance of his duty
during the race riots OF the early
part of last week. The child Is I'M
doubtedly one Of the many hundred. of
the Wilson patronymic who have in
the last few years been named for
the young lady at the White House"
and her father, who by all accounts
was one of the best OF the headquar-
ters men. went to his death, pushing
aside another, with a hasty:
Let me go; I'm younger than you"
He left a young wife and little
daughter not merely bereft, but we'll
nigh penniless. 1t seemed a particu-
larry fitting tribute that Epiphany
Episcopal Church should have placed
one more gold star in it's service flag
in honor Of Detective Sergeant Wilson.
Most of the activity in the Admin
istratiou households this last week has
! been In the Baker and Daniels fam
ilies-Mrs. Baker getting everything
done before she and the children went
away for the rest Of the summer; and
Secretary and Mrs. Daniels getting
the decks cleared for their trip to the
coast, where the Secretary has to be
! on hand when his ships come in.
Baker Family at Chautauqua.
Mrs. Baker and the children got of
safely on Thursday and expect to stay
at Chautauqua Lake during August
Secretary Baker did not go with them
and so they went by train instead OF
by motor, as they had planned. He
could not be with them at both ends
Of their vacation and it seemed better
for him to Join them for the latter
part than for the beginning.
Mrs. Baker certainly had her hands
full during the beginning Of the week
and her heart too, for on Monday
they received word OF the death by
drowning at Brest OF her young cousin
Richard Freas, Of Pottstown, whose
sister, Miss Elizabeth Freas. has made
her home with the Bakers for the last
year or more.
Another party called off about the
same time ION account of death If
the family" was Pennsylvania night al
Walter Reed Hospital. Mrs. Henry
Rea, who is at the head of the Red
Cross work at Walter Reed and has
devoted most Of her time to 1t for the
last two years, Is herself a Pennsyl.
vanian. and she had arranged a mos
attractive programme. Senator Pen
rose and Charles NJ. Schwab hat
promised to attend and to speak t.
the boys. And then came word o.
the death of Mrs. Rea's mother, Mr.
Henry Oliver, widow of note
Pittsburg steel man, at her home a
Philippi, Pa. on Monday night, and tn
whole thing was postponed.
One of the biggest events OF thu
summer was the farewell banquet t
E. n. Hurley retiring head of tn
Shipping Board, last Saturday nigh
at Wardman Park. 1t was given b
! his associates of the Shipping Boar
and Emergency Fleet Corporation, be
a tween 900 and 400 strong. Mr. Hurle
arranged things SO that his resignatio
