day morning from Bemus Point,
Chautauqua, where he spent the
weekend with Mrs. Baker and their
family, who are with Miss Hannah
Patterson this month. He went
there from Buffalo, where he and
the acting secretary of the navy
spoke before the Knights of Column
bus peace conference.
The clothes of Mrs. Wilson, Miss
Margaret Wilson, Mrs. Marshall,
wife of the vice president; Mrs. Gill
lett, wife of the speaker of the house
of representatives, were all of much
interest when they appeared in the
galleries at the capitol last week to
hear the president speak on the high
cost of living. Mrs. Wilson and
Miss Wilson, with a party of rela-
tives. were in the executive gallery,
set aside for the presidential family.
Mrs. Marshall was Mrs. Gillett's
guest in the speakers gallery, and
Mime. Jusssrand was the only wom-
an in the diplomatic gallery. She
sat close to the dividing rail between
the diplomatic and the executive
seats, and Mrs Wilson moved her
seat in the middle to next to, the
railing, so as to hold a steady con-
versation with Nine. Jusserand un-
til the president entered. Mrs. Will
son was dressed in a pale tint of
Alice blue georgette on this occa-
sion, the gown embroidered with
white beads in a conventional pat
tern. The skirt was short and had
several rather broad tucks in it. 1T
was not narrow, either, but amply
full to walk up stairs in. Her hat
was the same she wore in the re-
viewing stand, but it was yelled with
tulle of Alice blue, which wound
about her neck and tioated away
over her left shoulder. She carried
a round fan of fiat white feathers,
for it was something like 100 in the
shade on that afternoon. Miss Will
son was in white serge, with band
of dark fur about the square-cut
neck, and a hat of tan-colored
georgette with a softly rolling brim
and pink roses, the whole yelled in
tan-colored tulle. She wore high
white shoes.
Mrs. Marshall wore yellow wolfe,
embroidered in yellow crewel. with
a large black hat with touches OF
French blue. Mrs. Gillett, who is
a very handsome woman, very
smart" in her appearance, with iron
gray hair, was in white with large
white hat, and Nine. Jusserand wore
black and white foulard with small
black chip hat with large white vel
vet roses fiat about the crown.
The presidential party had tea on
the south portico of the White
House afterward, and then the pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson went out to
play golf, returning in time for a
7:30 dinner.
F. c. Croker, president Of the
Nebraska Live Stock association,
spent the week here at the Harring-
ton hotel Representative and Mrs.
NJ O. Mclaughlin of York, Neb.,
at dinner on Tuesday
evening in his honor, in their pretty
home on Jackson place.
The family of Senator Norris have
settled down now for the summer,
not expecting to get away at all be-
fore the schools open: i
Representative A. w. Jefferis OF
Omaha, who has an apartment with
Judge Evans of Nebraska, and Judge
Dickinson of Iowa, in the Wyoming,
lad expected to join his family be-
lore this, but has made no plan now

cave he will, however, and after
short vacation, will bring his FAM
ly back with him, when they will
Start a campaign Of house hunting.
