Because the President and Mrs.
Wilson were the guests of King
George and Queen Mary. IN Bucklng-
nam Palace, while in London, 1t Is
naturally supposed that the Prince or
Wales will be their guest in the
White Housed. He will probably
occupy the can wing. which is
luxurious place. as the White House
goes. with sitting rooms, bedrooms
and baths. all quite Transformation
from the executive offices which once
occupied the space.

was expected, scarcely more than
hundred guests will be present. MISS

father, who will escort her to the I'M
proyised altar, and Mr.. Knight will be
attended by his brother, Mr.. Clinton
