from the south portico of the White
House.
For recreation there is always the
nice long motor ride as far into Mary
land or Virginia as the mood dictates,
sometimes with no one but Mrs.
Wilson,--a tactful person who doesn't
insist on chattering or being chatter
ed to, but is a good listener If be
happeni to want one-sonetimes with
one of her brothers or Dr. Grayson
or Mr. Tumulty. the President's
secretary, making a third. Mrs.
Wilson has lately taken to driving
out, late in the afternoon, bareheaded,
setting a pleasant and eminently
sensible fashion for the womes of the
official set to follow.
WILSON NOW BOWS
TO ADMIRING CItOWDN.
There is nearly always a little
group of passers-by that gathers at
the gates to watch the President's
motor pass through. And Mr. Wilson
has gotten far enough away from his
invalidism to touch his cap, and
smile his acknowledgement of the
greetings of these wayfarers as the
big gates clang shut behind his mo
tor.
About the most frequent comment
in these little groups. after perhaps
a word as to how "he" is looking,
is "Well, anyhow, after the fourth
of March 1 guess they'll open up
these gates and let folks in the way
they used to." It is really surprising
the general resentment of the closed
gates. To Washington residents it
makes very little difference whether
they are, or are not. permitted to
use the front yard of the White
House as a public park. It's an old
story to them, and about the only
time it really worries them to have
the big gates on the Pennsylvania
avenue side of the White House
grounds closed is when they have
nut-of-town guests; who have a
natural desire to get a close-up of the
big house, which they, as tax-payers.

ingtonian to whom the White House
inside and out is an old story, is ir
ritated at the sight of those closed
rates and the big policeman stand

They were closed that early Febru
try day of 1917 when the President
was tellng Congress that Germany
was insisting on unrestricted sub
-narine warfare and at the same time
was handing the German anmbassdor
his passports. Every one admitted'the
prudence of elosing the gates at
his time when feeling for the faather

'elf in violence, mistaken for pa
riotism. But after thle armIstice.

However, to get back. It wasn't a
very full Cabinet meeting that the
President had last Tuesday--abut it
probably served its purpose--of find
ing out what they thought, or. as one
woman expressed it. "telling them
what to think." There were compara
tively few of the President's official
family in town. "'he V'i,-e President
aud Mrs. Marchril are still in the
Vest loafing, which Mr. Marshall
claims is the Vice President's consti
tutionally allotted or,-upation when
Congress is not in session and he is
consequently not presiding over the
Senate.
Secretary Colby is here--at least
he's here today and in New York or
hiladelphia or Cleveland tomorrow.
Anyhow, he's on his job as Secretary
of State. Secretary Houston is in
town very much as Secretary Colby
Is-only a little bit more so. For the
mnment. however -and this included
last Tuesday---he's with Mrs. Houston
nd their children at their summer
home at Woods Hole. He's due hack
the tir. t of this week. The Attorney
eneral is in a general way in town
although he, too, has been spending
the greater part of the last week
with his family and chanced to be in
xew York attending a coal conference
the day the Cabinet meeting was held.
Secretary RIaker, ever faithful, is
ticking close to his desk. I don't
believe he's had his proper thirty
lays' leave since he came to Wash
ngton. And Mrs. Raker is here, too,
tlthough most of her family are de
oting this week-end to a motor trip
to Pottstown, Pa., "returning" her
Lunt. Miss Ida Streper, and Miss Mary
Davis, who have been visiting at
Beauvoir.

jthough she isn't married-yet. She's

and Mrs. Rivers. For the rest. most
of the offeers entertained partics, and
ever so many motored over from town
to view theme.
After the show Mrs. Itivers received
as is her custom, on Fridays. her reg
ular weekly "at home" taking on tne
dignity of a tea dance. The band
played, of course, and it was a"1 quite
like the good old days before the war
when Fort Myer was one of the gay
est posts in this part of the country.
Colonel and Mrs. Itivers are both fond
of young people and like to entertain,
and I rather imagine that next w inte r.
under their regime, the post will
measure tup to its old-time standards
of gayety.
MID-WEEK DINNER DANCE AT

particularly nice party. Col. and Mrs.
