Mrs. Wilson Gets Acqusintod.
A late arrival of wheel chair men
caused the President to resume his
place in the eXtemporized receiving
station and shake hands with each
member. Then having satisfied him
self that the party was rapidly "thaw-
ing out" he quietly slipped into the
White House to take up the burden
Of office after spending forty-fve min
utes in spreading cheer among his
wife's guests.
In the meantime Mrs. Wilson had
circulated among the boys and was
becoming acquainted with their life at
the hospital and their deeds overseas.
She was constantly surrounded by an
apprecis tive crowd OF soldiers ana
sailors and showed her delight at
their enjoyment of her own radiant
appearance. She was becomingly at

of her dress.

Now, with Japan In the league Of
