Army Officers Plan Big
Ball to Raise Funds to
Continue Polo Program

Mr.. Wilson. He takes a daily motor
ride, as I have said. and occasion
ally goes to the theater, as of old
They went last week to Keith's. ac-
companied by Margaret Wilson and
John Randolph Bolling-sounds like
a regular old-time White House
theater party. doesn't it? 1t is sur-
prising how many people still un-
consciously speak of him as Presi-
dent Wilson. instead OF former
President Wilson.
The President-I mean Mr.. will,
son's only difficulty seems to be in
in walking. He uses a cane, but IL is
going up and downstairs that he
nnds difficult. His mind is just fine:
was never better. He is constantly
laughing and joking or telling linn
ericks with his callers. He sees lots
of people and they have company
for dinner occasionally. ] saw Mrs.
Wilson the other day getting guam
titles of their fine silver out of their
safe deposit box, apparently for a
dinner party. When Margaret
Prescott Montague, the authoress,
was in Washington recently. she
enjoyed a lovely visit with Mr.. and
Mrs. Wilson. He occasionally dis
cusses politics and often smiles
broadly at the Republican party's
efforts to straighten out the tangled
affairs of the world He has a
splendid sense of humor. You know!
The damp, dark days that pre-
vailed throughout the week kept the
crowds at the polo games smaller in
size than they would otherwise have
! hn
fine time and always go back There
was quite a crowd down there yes
terday and an interesting crowd too.
