WILSON'S BRAvING
SUMNER HEAT.
The Woodrow wilson's are brav-

Washington. They have a charm
ing house on the heights of the
city. almost In the country, and
spacious gardens and verandas and
they take a motor ride together
every day and you can always cool

OF his family. People today in
Washington will gather in larger
numbers to see Wilson leave
theater or drive by than they will

ident has gotten so much better

presided as usual over the weekly
picnic luncheon and sewing bee of
the Senate ladies, who have at last
found the heat too much for them,
I think. for they have decided to
abandon their weekly gatherings
