THE TRIAL MARRIAGE CIUB,

Under silly contract which each member of the

they would separate and obtain divorce.
Apparently the one pair of youngsters were the

A Simple Programme.


There was the utmost simplicity
to the programme. The crowd
purposed simply to go to the Wilson
homo and briefly remind him of
their allegiance The old southern
songs were sung-school children
in bright red and white costumes
donoting some health crusade, war
veterans in uniform, womens or
carnations with brilliant banners.
The Wilson doorstep was heaped
with bouquets and baskets OF gay
flowers.
1t was upon this bright sunlit
scene that the former president
smiled as he came from the dark
cf his hallway, Mrs. Wilson behind
him. The air was split with cheer
ing. 1t rose again and again un-
til Henry Morgenthau, former am
ba9aador to Turkey, had subdued
it finally by planissimo movements
of both hands. Then Mr. Nor
gonthau read an address, purposely
brief TO spare Mr.. Wilson a long
strain OF attendance.
But Mr.. Wilson seemed well able
to undergo what his family feared
would be too great a tax on his
strength. He stood, trifle bent,
but smiling and at ease, resting
his right hand against a stone
pillar, his cane hooked into his
coat pocket, and twice he inter
rupted Mr. Morgenthau with quick
smile and comment.
'It would take several hours to
tell you what is in our hearts
and minds" Mr. Morgenthau was
saying by way of explaining the
Forthcoming brevity of his remarks
Don't do it, Mr. Wilson said
with broad smile.
'Tast Tuesday it was demon
strated that the people of America
are escaping from materialism and
selfshness and are preparing again
to recognize their solemn and in
exorable duty towards their fellow
nations in Europe" said Mr.. Nor
gcnthau.
Hear, hear" called Mr.. Wilson to
the crowds who answered with their
cheers.

AS soon as Mr. Morgenthau had
stopped Mr.. Wilson moved nearer
the edge of his doorstep and in his
now greatly restored voice that

for very nearly ten minutes.
During most of the time Mr.. Will
