WHITE HOUSE BRIDE

Easier Over Resumption of
White House Functions.
Washington. Twice boforo presi
dents of tho United States have taken
unto themselves wives while in their
high ofllco. It Ib safo to say that
Woodrow Wilson and tho wlnsomo
Edith Boiling Oalt will follow nolthor
of tho two precedents set.
President John Tyler evidently dis
trusted his public. Two years after
tho death of his first wlfo in 1844, ho
camo to Now York, and whllo tho poo
plo wero still under tho Impression
that his wedding to Miss Julia Gardi
ner of Now York was sovoral weoks
off, they learned suddenly that tho
chief executivo had led his brldo'to
tho altar in tbo Church of tho Ascen
sion. It was almost an elopomcnt.
Thoro was a similar lack of warn
ing, though not qulto so extreme,
when President Grovcr Clovoland mar
ried Frances Folsom, probably tho
most beautiful of all tho brides of tho
Whlto Houbo, in 188C. Tho engage
ment was published two weeks beforo
tho day when tho ceremony actually
took placo; but tho day and tho hour
wero not announced until about 48
hours boforo tho arrival of tho brldo
elect and her mother in tho capital.
They had Just como from several
months in Europe.
Tho guests at tho Clovoland wed
ding numbered fowcr than forty. Tho
only officials presont wero tho cabinet
and tho president's prlvato secretary.
Tho sceno wns set in tho bluo room.
Thoso In confldenco of Mrs. Oalt
hero bollovo sho will arrango every
thing for a lino old Virginia wedding,
not an unwieldy affair, but on tho
other hand nothing hurried or ill-considered.
Thoso who havo visited tho Ualt
homo in Pennsylvania avenuo agroo
that tho futuro "first lady of tho land"
la a queen of hostesses and a marvel
of forethought and graceful tact.
All in all, Washington society has
learned of tho president's coming
marrlago with a fooling akin to rcllof.
Tho capital is a distinctly less lively
and gay affair with no Whlto Houso
social season to set tho pace.
With Mrs. Gait at tho head of tho
president's establishment Washing
ton's grent hostesses will brcatho
easier. Sho has never figured largo
on tho socloty pages of tho newspa
pers but Bho has a largo circle of
friends and thoso ngreo sho can ho
dopended upon as a worthy succes
sor of a long lino of gracious presi
dents' wives.
All Washington winter functions are
arranged so as not to lntorfero with
Whlto Ilouso engagements. For this
reason no other Invitations can go out
until tho Whlto Ilouso schodulo Is
known.
Tho second Mrs. Wilson Is an at
tractive dresser and sho may well set
tho fashion for womon of hor ago.
When wnlking about Washington
Mrs. Gait waa soon In a whlto sorgo
tailored suit, tho Jacket decorated In
military fashion in whlto Bilk braid,
whito kid low shoos, whlto silk
hosiery and a small black velvet hat.
For a woman of about forty years
MrB. Gait Is strikingly hantlBome. Sho
has dark oyos and wavy dark hair,
spionuiu teeth, a peach bloon com
picxion ana regular features. It is
when sho Bmiles, howovor, that sho is
IrroBlstlblo.
Hor oxcoodingly warm, sympathetic
naturo makes thoso who havo tho hon
or of entering hor homo immediately
nt oaso and Bho haa tho faculty of tho
groat French dames of cauUiiB thoso
conversing with hor to feol thoy havo
never hororo been so brilliant.
Tho president Is not n poor man,
uui u is prooauio that Mrs. Gait will
bring him a fortuno greator than his
own. Her husband Is understood to
havo loft her about $260,000. Ab hor
expenses havo novor been largo, thjp
has been Increased considerably. Sho
owns tho century-old Gait Jowolry
Btoro in Washington, which two of hoi
brothers run for her.
Mrs. Gait Is a woman of manifold
interests. Her homo is full of good
books, which sharo with her music the
long winter evenings. Sho is fond of
SHELLS FOR THE GREAT FRENCH
tho theater. Sho drives her own elec
tric nutomobllo about Washington.
Sho plays a fair gamo of tennis and
her golf has Improved rapidly under
Mr. Wilson's tuition. Sho proved on
ardent baseball "fan" nt ono of tho ro
cent world series games and It Is
said that tho president arranged to
sco this contest at his flanceo's ex
pressed wish.
Mrs. Gait has not devoted herself to
her own amusement by any means.
She Is active In St. Thomas Episcopal
church, whore sho was for some tirao
chairman of tho Hector's Aid society.
Besides other local charities she has
done much work for tho mountain
whites of tho South, an activity in
which tho first Mrs. Wilson was also
a leader. Mrs. Gait's offorts havo al
ways been most unobtrusive.
IS SAVED BY WOODEN LEG
Bear, When Surprised, Claws Horse
back Rider's Artificial
Limb.
Sunbury, Pa. John Davidson, a Cat
awlssa mountain farmer, who "lives
near tho town of that name, says ho
is glad ho has a wooden leg. for It
saved him serious hurts In a battlo
with a hear.
Davidson says ho was riding horso
back along tho Susquehanna, which
sklrtB donso mountain growths at that
point, when ho saw a black bear fish
ing In tho river. It would dlvo down
and como up with a fish In its mouth.
Angered by his approach bruin,
dropped a fish and gave chase, but
Davidson drow his rovolver nnd fired.
Ho missed, and tho unlmal enmo on
after him nnd bit and clawed at his
wooden leg.
Ho fired ngaln, and then a freight
train approached on a railroad near
by. This, togothor with tho tooting
of tho locomotivo whistle, frightened
tho beast and it dropped to Its feot
and ambled off Into tho woods. Tho
farmer exhibited a torn pair of trous
orB nnd lacerated wooden log to bis
friends as proof of tho truth of IiIb
Btory.
Honey In Court.
Butler, Mo. For weeks a swarm of
boos has boon noticed around the
cupola of tho Butos county courthouso.
Tho county court ordered tho veteran
Janitor, Fleetwood Thomas, to inves

took It to tho grocory stores and real

Thomas, Okla. Now that tho
Choyonno social season has ended
with tho closo of summer tho women
of tho tribes havo more lelsuro for

Dealers In beadwork havo learned
that they got best results by supply

export boador will receive better pay
than sho might bo ablo to do If sho

Tho design for beadwork Is often

Tho Indian has worn hcelless foot
