left the White House IN 3 driving
rain and walked through Potomac

Yesterday, when Mrs. Wilson re-
turned from walk, she was greeted
BY some friends riding IN a "hivver."
Perhaps to show her contempt for the

humble machine and went for a ride.
Policemen at the gates stood aghast
when the little car chugged up to
them and they recognised the dis
