Mrs. Wilson Writes q Book
About White House Life

1924, she has visited Europe, each
time making a pilgrimage to the
Geneva headquarters of the League
of Nations for which Mr.. Wilson
fought losing fight.
Only once in the intervening years
has shes ventured into the public
galleries of the Senate, and then
there was a characteristic reason:
the Senate was debating the World
Court. Before she left, old time
Democrats had wheedled her into
an impromptu reception in Vice
President Gamers office.
Mrs. Wilson hasn't changed much
from the days when she appeared

their money back, he decided something ought

offered to fight any man in the crowd-first
come first served. It is recorded that the 118-
FOUNDER knocked out % men in succession be-
fore he wearied. Then came the wire flash that
the fight had started in Reno-and Goodman
retired to nurse his wounds.
