WASHINGTON, April 80.
Washington has not lost interest in
bssnsr President Wilson, nor has he lost
htsrest in Washington. People of all
iasses inquire constantly about his
sslsh. his state Of mind. his plans for
he future and most of all.for his opin-
hns on affairs Of the day, both nation
IL and international He does not ex-
rsss his opinions to every ono, but to
pms he does.
Never does Mr.. Wilson's senss Of hu-
nor show to better advantage than
yhen he is talking Of the affairs OF the
hy, and frequently when dwelling on
ons recent events an expressive smile
Its across his face. When he talks, for
Instance, of the part America has played
b the reparations dispute and the Dip
bmatic snare lard by the Germans to di-
dds the Allies and to kill time, he smiles
most knowingly.
Mr.. Wilson is planning many things.
Be is getting stronger every day and
boks very we'll indeed. His complexion
i fine and his mind alert. But at pres
mt his chief interest Is nursing both his
hind and body. He is resting resting
,cmpletely-because he knows that to
u HE most important step just now In
lis plans FOR the future. For he Is go-
hg to take up the active practice Of law.
having gone into partnership with the
lormer Secretary of State, Bainbridge
Colby. The public seemed to jump to
he conclusion or to be under the gener-
Il impression that he had entered In
10 the partnership with the idea of
acting merely In an advisory capa-
tity. But he plans nothing Of the
scrt; he Is going to work, and work
hard. 1t was quite surprise to most
people to discover he was q lawyer.
t was not generally known that he had
tsken his degree in law some years
Hgo. He has so many more striking
accomplishments that his knowledge
Of law had been almost completely
overlooked.
Anxious to Get to Work
Already Doing Some Writing
Mr.. Wilson is anxious to get to work
and will do SO soon. Even now he
does some writing. He usually die
ates, but occasionally he does the ac-
sual writing himself. But he always
tskes great pains not to overtax his
strength, for that would delay his plans
for the future.
Most of his time these days is spent
IN reading, being read to and in driving
cut every afternoon in his automobile,
always accompanied by Mrs. Wilson
and usually soma other member of her
family or his. His daughter, Margaret,
who has an apartment in New York,
has been visiting Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
at their new home for q week or more,
md has accompanied them In the motor
naarly every day. Monday afternoon
they drove down TO the polo grounds
h Potomac Park and watched the OPEN
lag game of the army polo tournament.
Both Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson are fond Of
horses and used to ride horseback to-
gether occasionally before t ey went to
Europe. Sometimes, too, while living
at the White House. they would drive
out In the victoria behind two horses
n preference to an automobile. Il was
not surprising, therefore, that they at
tended the polo game. for they are both
fond Of all sorts Of sports and were
regular attendants At anything Of the
sort when Mr.. Wilson's duties as Pres
ldsnt wcald allow him the time. They
neTsr missed baseball game II they
could manage 1t.
There was not Q mpre interested
spectator in all that crowd Monday
Watching the polo game than Mr.. Will
son And there were few, If any,
n all that crowd who were not
interested in seeing Mr.. Wilson. Every
body turned to look sooner or later
and would whisper to each other,
Ehere's President Wilson" There
vsre many commenta on his general
appearance. When President and Mrs.
fxrding drove by few minutes later,
Jnat In time 60 see the game come to
thrilling close. they attracted scarce
" more attention than did the Will
sens Between the two groups Of nota
Dies the majority Of the onlookers
Missed many an exciting play.
Every day when Mr.. and Mrs. Will
son eide out, people stop to stare or
g wave their hands or hats just As
saey used to do when he was Chief
Esseuttvs. People In passing motors
