Mrs. WiIIkie Little Surprised
At Husbands S Nomination
Wife Avoids Talking in Philadelphia,
Declaring It's WendeII's Show

maid of honor at the wedding of
her best friend. Wendell Willkie
was one of the ushers. From that
meeting on Wendell Willkie had no
more doubts about marrying Edith
Wilk than he has now about being
able to carry off the election next
November.
An Indiana blizzard that blew up
on the day set for the Wilk- -Willkie
wedding is to date the only thing
ever known to have crossed swords
with Wendell WILKES determine
ton and won. 1t was in January,
1918, and the man about whom the
whole town is talking had obtained
Army leave to get married. In
Rushville, Edith Wilk was waiting
with white dress and a wedding
veil. She had to wait two days while
the blizzard had its own way and
ragged on unmindful of Wendell
Wilkes epithets against the ele-
ments.
''The wedding had been set for
Saturday and he finally got in Mon
dav," she recalled. And then all
of sudden I was Mrs. Willkie, and
life hasn't held a dull moment
since"
Not Moving Man.
In New York the WILKES live in
an apartment at 1910 Fifth avenue.
They've lived there for II years,
"ever since we came to New York"
Edith Willkie explains, and laughs
when you wonder if that isn't some
sort of G record for New York cliff
dwellers. Perhaps" she says, "but
you don't know my husband. He's
not moving man."
Nobody is more convinced than
Edith Willkie that her husband is
the ideal man for the Republican
nomination-"fitted for the Job by
disposition, talent and principles
and that he was their only choice
when it came to picking a liberal,
dynamic and colorful candidate,

Pilot Club Honors
Louise Boynton

Miss Louise Boynton, former presi-
dent Of the Washington Pilot Club,
has been elected governor of the
newly formed 18th district of the
organization. The district includes
Virginia, Pennsylvania and the Dis
trict of Columbia.
Miss Boynton, with a party of
Washington delegates, including the
local president, Miss Helen Hodd-
man, and Miss Frances Meilleur,
the secretary, attended the clubs

who can give the present resident
OF the White House, or any one else,
a run for his money. On the per-
sonal side, nobody Is more convinced
than Edith Willkie that she has
drawn the worlds best-and most
interesting-husband.
II can find more pleasure in just
walking down the street with
Wendell Willkie than In anything
know Of" she told me. "But lately
even just seeing him has been q
rare pleasure"
In Wendell WILKES New York
office, overlooking the New York
Harbor, one day last week I asked
him If he had ever given any
thought to the tremendous toll that
would be levied on his health II he
were to receive the Republican nomi-
nation and go into a campaign for
the presidency and further than
that, what four years in the White
House during these unsettled times
would mean. Wendell Willkie
Jumped down my throat" and
finally wound up by telling me that
no man in the United States is in
better health than he and that he
could trade hearts with any 2l-
year-old boy and the kid would
come out with the best Of the
bargain.
When I recounted the verbal
spanking received at the hands of
Wendell Willkie to Edith Willkie,
she laughed aloud and said:
THAT sounds like him. But really
he Is as strong as q horse. Not long
ago he had complete examination
and came of with a perfect bill of
health. He has never been i'll in his
life. Once he was persuaded to have
his tonsils out, and nobody could
keep him in the hospital. He just
got up from the hospital bed, dressed
when no one was looking, and left
without so much as by-your-
leave"
At the Willkie household in New
York, since Wendell went on this
political binge, meals have been
something of a problem. There's
been no telling when the dark horse
would want to put on the feed bag,
so Mrs. Willkie has Just kept . few
steaks in the ice box. She says
that's all he cares about anyway
steak and other plain dishes, with
no fixings. Unless reminded that
It's ordinary folks meal times, he's
apt to forget to eat altogether.

Blood Tests Are Sanctioned
To Determine Paternity

The use Of blood tests as a guide
In determining the paternity Of
child was sanctioned in the Dis
trict today in an opinion by the
United States Court Of Appeals.
The opinion, written by Associate
Justice Henry w. Edgerton, said:
The value of blood grouping
tests as proof of non-paternity Is
well known. On this point, 1t is
enough to cite the report of the
American Medical Associations
Committee on Medicolegal Blood
Grouping Tests, which shows that,
although such cannot prove pa

prove 1t, they can disprove it con-

Lynn was in the drivers seat and
Rene, beside her, directed opera
tons. Things went along smoothly,
for Lynn took the road at a slow,
even pace. Before they had gone
five miles, Rene was asleep. The
girl drove on until they came to a
small town, and she stopped in
front Of the first garage. Rene awak-
ened with start. Lynn smiled and
urged Rene to 60 back into the

They picked up some groceries in

lowed to park on the street for ten
minutes. When Rene came back with
his arms full of purchases, he threw
a New York paper into Lynn's lap.
-Four days old, but well know
what's going on in the home town."

trailer over on a side road. 1--WE

Lynn set to work, while Rene read
the New York paper. He was deep
in the sport page when Lynn was

settee. There was a large picture
OF smiling young man receiving q
