MRS. WILSON HAPPY AS SHE NURSES PRESIDENT By Zoe Beckley (N. E. A. Staff Correspondent) Washington, Sept. 3.?For a solid year the First Lady of the Land has shut up her beauty and her charm in the sickroom and private office of the president. There have bepn anxious days; Tnonv <vf thpm- but Edith Wilson has been happy in her hard role of nurse and business woman?happier, some say, than ever before. No Easy Place. Sentimental Susie, sighing to be the wife of an illustrious man, doesn't realize that it is a lot easier and more comfortable to be plain Mrs. William Jones jof Blinkville. It is never a simple matter, be :j mg a presiuem, a wut. At best it isn't all gaiety, pretty clothes, balls and trips to Europe. At worst it is a job of sober service that takes poise, patience, tact, brains, self sacrifice and sturdy phy > sical stamina. , As in Mrs. Wilson's case?unparalleled in White Kouce history?the test may come without warning, bringing a burden of work and anxiety that only an exceptional woman can successfully carry. A woman, say, whose entire character finds expression in one well marked /?hnnTiel?a love which is concen trated upon one object. In Mrs. Wilson's case it is her husband. Ask anyone in Washington: "What interests has the president's wife?" 'The president," is the invariable answer. "But what work appeals to her?" "The president's," is the reply. "Surely she has some pet ambition, some?" "To make 'the president happy." " ' 1 ' i?i..o "Weil, nas sne laienus: xiuuuics: "Yes. Her talents are reading aloud, playing golf, discussing human affairs, writing letters, analyzing reports and pardon pieas, hunting up good detective stories, supervising the. household, motoring and movies ?-all with, for and because of the ; president." Surprised Many. This tievotion to the president took a form that caused many a seasoned politician' a start of astonish' ment about a year ago. They knew her for a charming woman, with gracious Virginia born manners and a bright way of telling an anecdote or dark story.But that she should develop al most overnight the kind but stern competencies of a trained nurse, the tact of an experienced diplomat and the resourcefulness of a professional ? entertainer, made them sit up and take notice. * ? Senator Amazed. "I confess," Senator Carter Glass told me the other day, "I was amazed at ffco nTftmntnoco txrifl-i ?rVi! r?V? Mr? MW V**V ,V viil|/VHvWU ?? X Vll ?? 1A ivli *'* * W? Wilson renounced every other interest in life and from the moment of the president's illness applied herself to helping and sustaining him. "She showed from the first a grasp of affairs that surprised us all. She never intruded, yet she was always there, ready and able to write a good \ letter, see an important caller, con. vey the president's view to this or that official. Always Cheerful. "No matter how much serious work she did; she always kept her brightness and sense of humor, and the optimism that never failed her j even when the president's condition j ?5: v , ' ' I was gravest: "She had a hard task, too, to sense exactly the right proportion of work -, and diversion to allow him. His ac- j tivity and conscientiousness made him restless, at times difficult. Yet Mrs. | "Wilson's common sense judgment al- i ways guided her aright." Now that President Wilson is better and able to work three or four hours a day, Mrs. Wilson's nursely duties have merged into those of a trained personal secretary. Tumulty's Praise. Joseph P. Tumulty, apparently far from feeling that his nose has been , put out of joint by the First Lady's assumption tff secretarial serviced voices enthusiastic admiration. He says if he "knew how to write" he would like to "write a book about Mrs. Wilson" so that people would "know how wonderful she really is." "?so versatile and dependable," is how Mr. Tumulty puts it. "She has v . i .1 . J ~ no snowy talents yet sne can uo everything that really counts. "She dees things in a businesslike way, but always with tact. She knows how to meet people and entertain them. She's a splendid story teller and mimic. Yet she never losses dignity nor says an indiscreet thing. "She is a woman who can keep a secret. There's just one secret she can't keep, and that is her love for the president, Thnt is her wholo life \ k ?her devotion to him." Devoted Daughter.
