President Woodrow Wilson and First Lady Edith Wilson traveled to Europe twice to attend the Paris Peace Conference in 1918 and 1919. Packing for the journeys was a tremendous undertaking. The tag on the president’s high hat case and lid is well marked. Edith Wilson, determined to dress as befit a representative of her country, selected her clothes carefully. The casual afternoon suit she selected to wear at the Longchamps races, seen here, was a three–piece ensemble with skirt, jacket, and overblouse.
