Three short paragraphs indicate the scope and sincerity of this second paper: \*President Wilson, I am sure, loved the first Mrs. Wilson deeply and she was 8 wonderfal mother, but her nature was limited. She was never the gay and amusing woman of the world. 1“To speak frankly, 1 think that Mrs. Hulbert—better known as Mrs. Peck—illed, for some years, this part of Mr. Wilson’s life. *The last time Mrs. Hulbert was at the White House, following the death of the first, Mrs. Wilson, 1 told her rather facetiously that these were her golden moments.
