WILSON'S HAVE ALL
PARIS GUESSING
FAILS TO UNDERSTAND WHY
THEY ARE SEEN TOGETHER
so MUCH.
CONTINUALLY HAVING COMPANY
When One Is Receiving, the Other Is
Likely to Come Unexpectedly
Unlike at Washington, Even
ings Seldom Spent Out.

Paris.-Paris, with it's rather inter-
esting ideas of the relationship be-
tween husbands and wives, just can't
Get over the way the Wilson's are seen
together so frequently. When the
president motors to the peace confer
ence at the Quai dOrsay Mrs. Wilson
rides with him as far as the porte CO.
chere When he strols along the
Champs Elysees Mrs. Wilson swings
along beside him; when either is re-
ceiving at the Whole House of Paris
the other is likely, quite Unexpectedly,
to appear among those present. For
little thing like worlds peace con-
ference casts no shadow DER the COM
partnership of the first gentleman of
the peace table and the first lady Of
the United States.
Take Breakfast Alone.
Breakfast, quiet and alone, in the
charming little salon Of the Murat
Mansion, overlooking a pretty little
park, starts the well organized day.
While the president works upon his
morning mail and state papers in the
great private sitting room, the Prince
Murat, Mrs. Wilson busies herself just
as she would do in Washington.
At II o'clock the snappiest blue linn
CUISINE in Paris, flying on blue field,
the gold bordered presidents flag,
takes them to the peace conference. A
| khaki clad chauffeur and plain
clothes secret service man sharing the
front seat, Miss Benham, the secretary
to Mrs. Wilson, is in the party if the
intention is to visit the hospitals after
the president has joined the peace con-
ferees.
Paris shops have never blazed as
they have since the Hun menace re-
crossed the Rhine. On many morn
ings Mrs. Wilson and her secretary
stroll about unrecognized exercising
that woman's eternal prerogative of
shopping Luncheon in the Murat
residence is strictly tete tete, with
Admiral Grayson and R. Wilmer Boil
ing as a possible foursome.
Go About Unostentatiously
Ii the conference is in session dur
ing the afternoon Mrs. Wilson drives
with the president to the appointment,
drops him and continues on her way.
Except for the little groups at the en-
trance of the conference buildings
their goings about are as unostenta-
tious as if they were private citizens
The late afternoon is usually reserved
for the presidents conferences at the
Murat residence. Audiences ranging
from a Chinese minister bringing a
gife, to Jugo-Slavs anxious about their
boundary, take place there. Mrs. Viii
son has received a few groups of WON
en- at her teas. Herbert Hoover seems
, to be the Tumulty of the Paris White
= House and Charles Sven the steno
graphic shadow
Unlike Washington, the evenings
! are seldom spent at the theaters
, Twice have the Wilson's left the seclu
sion of their homes to attend perfor
g mances, once going to the opera ant
e the other time attending a perform
ance by the "Argonne players mad
: up of doughboy stars. There will b.
t one or two state dinners, accepted o
l. given, before their departure. But lit
= tie energy is expended on entertain
ment, while every mental and physica
resource is applied to peace problems
in which both the president and hi
u wife share keen interest.
