But ALL the time.
SHE'D BE thinking Of something.
FOR HIM to get.
A DRINK of water.
OR ANOTHER book.
OR HER sewing basket
OR SOME such thing.

LOOKS LIKE WILSON

Americans who see Sir Austen Chamberlain in parliament and at various public gatherings rre much impressed hy the resemblance he bears to Woodrow Wilson in the days when the late president was making his first cam paign for the presidency. Whom Sir Austen Is not wearing his monocle his long slender face has T striking likeness to that of Mir. Wilson in the earlier years of his political career.
 Sir Austen is of about the same height and figure the late president and carries him self with much the same quiet dignity. There is also q similarity in their methods of public speaking, Sir Austen is delibcrate and slow in his speech. He uses few gestures, but em- ploys his right hand in emphasizing points much after tho manner of Mir. Wilson,
 However the resemblance is confined almost entirely to personal appearance, manner and hearing. Sir Austen's voice is wholly unlike that of MT. Wilson.
