Margaret Wilson To Enter Bond Business
New York, May 23.—(P)—Miss Margaret Wilson, daughter of Woodrow Wilson, has taken a position selling bonds, to pay off a debt of $10,000 incurred through an unprofitable investment in oil stock, The New York World says today.
Miss Wilson's decision to withdraw from social and civic activities and go to work, says The World, follows litigation that will bring her into court for financial examination in an effort to collect the $10,000 judgment obtained against her in supreme court last February.
The judgment constitutes the bulk of a sum borrowed by Miss Wilson from the American Union bank on her personal notes, guaranteed by Harry Glenby, a hair goods dealer. Through Glenby's efforts Miss Wilson will be spared the ordeal of being questioned in court as to her financial condition.
