Mrs. Wilson's mother and sister,
Mrs. Boiling and Miss Bertha Boil
ing, went to Ocean City, N. J.. a
week ago for a months stay or
more, which indicated that Mrs.
Wilson had planned to accompany
the president on his trip over the
county and that the various and
sundry boxes which arrived thick
and fast before the presidential
party returned from France, and
which are filled with world wonders
in the way of pretty things, are not
to be opened and unpacked until
after her return from that trip.
The boxes are everywhere in evil
dence through the basement corri-
doris of the White House and in the
corridors of the second floor They
have both gifts and purchases in
them. Some one who came near
letting the cat out of the bag about
some of the gifts has said there were
wonderful tapestries from France,
some of her most valued Gobelins;
rare mosaics from Italy, laces from
Belgium, and no one knows what
from England All this is quite rea-
sonable and natural. As to the laces,
it is foregone conclusion that Mrs.
Wilson brought back some valuable
pieces, for her fancy runs to laces
and fans rather than to jewels. Gems
are rarely seen upon the first lady
of the land, save for her jeweled
watch, and several handsome rings
OF diamonds, one set with sapphires,
and always the superb blue-white
solitaire of enormous size, which is
the emblem of her engagement to
the president, which she always
wears
