MRS. WALSH TO ENTHUSE
DEMOCRATIC WOMEN HERE.

So far as political activities are

by a live committee of seventy-five

committee claim that it will be the

Both Miss Alice Kirkpatrick and

members of the congregation and
friends of both families. And after
ward there was an informal recep-
tion at the rectory. Miss Nolan, who
is the daughter of John II. Nolan, and
Edward II. Johansen. au contraire,
had only a small family party to see
them married. The wedding took
place on Wednesday morning in st.
Matthews Church and was followed
by an informal breakfast at Mr.. and
Mrs. Nolan's apartment in the Bur-

FINDS SOME HUMOR
IN 1870 CAMPAIGN.

Considerable humor-much OF 1t
unconscious-is undoubtedly going to
be injected into the Presidential cam
paign, and that's something to be
thankful for in this day of horrors
and tragedies of all sorts. The para
graph announcing that the third
party candidate, Farley p. Christen-
sen, would be dubbed the goodbye
candidate" because his initials are
up. p. C."-and well, perhaps, there
ARE other reasons--tickled my funny
bone. And to my mind there was
real humor in the prohibition ticket
first suggested - Bryan and Billy
Sunday-particularly in view of the
fact that the Rev. Mr.. Sunday has
come out strongly in favor of Sena-
tor Harding. VINO must be anathema
to Mr.. Bryan.

the Vice President could do the work
and the President have the honor,the
idea being to make Mr.. Wilson sort
of "Presdent Americus," as it were
to quote a beautiful phrase coined by
a certain college alumnus, a wee bit
happier than he had any right to be
in prohibition days. when he had oc-

SIR THOMAS LIPTON
PROVES HE'S THRIFTY.

Sir Thomas Lipton's promised visit

rather more general interest. for

sportsman. In fact. Sir Thomas has
many good friends in Washington
as he mas all over the country-and
quite a few were favored with the
eagerly desired cards to see at least
one of the international cup races
from the dec of his yacht.
Do you happen to have had one Of
those cards? Or seen one? They
are about the size of an ordinary cor
respondence card, gilt edged, | no
ticed, which they wouldn't have been

EXCITEMENT AGREED
WITH PRESIDENT.

The excitement of an important po-
litical conference seemed to agree
with Mr.. Wilson. for no sooner had
the conferees departed than he was
off for a long motor ride into the
country. with Mrs. Wilson and her
brother John Randolph Boiling, as
his companions. He has been driv-
ing pretty nearly every day during
the last week and it would not be
surprising If any day now the White
House household would pack it's
weekend bags and board the May
flower for brief cruise down the
Potomac-a form of holiday which
has always agreed with the President,
and in which he has previously taken
great pleasure whep detained in

For the rest the President seems 10
be doing nothing in .particular--but
sexerting influence from the south
portico of the White House. which it
lis perfectly understood will prevent
his party from doing anything in par
kticular without his approval. Mrs.
Wilson is aiding and abetting, and
watching to see that he does not try
this strength too far--with Tumulty

tefforts enthusiastically and intelli-
Isently.

Society Turns
It's Interest To
Political Arena

~ VERYBODY'S talking politics
or playing politics-or both.
- In Washington az this stage OF
the game it's mostly taken out In
talk. It's downright curious how we
can be so much out OF things during
campaign. But every once In
while something happens like Cover
nor Cox's visit to the President TO
bring out the fact that this is still
the Capital OF the Nation.
OF course. the spotlight centered on
the White House while the Demo
cratic nominee for President and
Vice President were closeted with
President Wilson. And wouldn't II
have been interesting to listen In
while Governor CoX-to help make
the world safe for the Democratic
party" as the old darky put twas
agreeing to sponsor the league OF ma
tions. 1t might even have been
illuminating to attend the luncheon
which followed the conference.
This was heralded in some of the
papers as a stag party" but Mrs.
Wilson was present in accordance
with the custom which she establish
ed shortly after her marriage OF
sitting in" whenever the President
gives a luncheon or a dinner-and o.
what notable assemblages has she
been a member since the war first
began bringing the world to Wash
ington! This time. as frequently be-
fore, she was the only lady in the
company. The guests? Why. Gov
ernor Cox, Mr.. Roosevelt, Senator
Carter Glass, Mr.. Tumulty. Secretary
to the President, and Rear Admiral
Grayson. Not many, to be sure, but
probably the largest party which has
been entertained at the White House
since the Presidents illness.
