WEDDING OF MISS JESSIE WILSON AND FRANCIS B. SAYRE
am*.
Mr. and Mrs. Sayre and East Room in Which They Were Wedded.
Washington, Nov. 25.—Jessie Wood
row Wilson, second of President Wil
son’s three daughters, was married to
Francis Bowes Sayre at 4:30 o'clock
this afternoon The ceremony took
place in the east room of the White
House, and was performed by Rev.
Sylvester Beach of Princeton, N. J.,
the president’s former pastor and the
close friend of the Wilson'family for
many years.
The entire affair was very simple,
as had been requested by the bride,
and the number of guests was rather
small—distressingly so to many per
sons in official and social circles of
Washington who had expected to re
ceive invitations but were disappoint
ed.
Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
eldest of the three daughters, acted
as maid of honor to her sister, and
Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the
youngest, was one of the bridesmaids,
i The three other bridesmaids were
Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott of Prince
ton, daughter of Prof. William B.
Scott; Miss Marjorie Brown of Atlan
ta, Pa., daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cous
in, Col. E. T. Brown, and Miss Mary
G. White of Baltimore, a college friend
of the bride.
Dr. Grenfell Is Best Man.
Mr. Sayre was attended by his best
man, Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, the fa
mous medical missionary to the fisher
men of the Labrador coast. The two
men have long been fast friends and
: Mr. Sayre spent two summers help
ing Dr. Grenfell with his work.
The UEhers were Charles E. Hughes,
Jr., son of Justice Hughes of the Su
preme court and a classmate of Mr.
Sayre in the Harvard law school; Dr
Gilbert Horax of Montclair, X. 3., who
was a classmate at Williams college
in 1909 and now at Johns Hopkins uni
versity; Benjamin Burton of New
York city, and Dr. Scoville Clark of
Salem, Mass., who was Mr. Sayre’s
companion in Labrador and Newfound
land.
Wedding Gown of Ivory Satin.
The bride's gown was of satin, of
a soft ivory tint, trimmed with beau
tiful lace, both old and rare. It was
made in New York and the women
connoisseurs declared that it was a
masterpiece. The lingerie in the
trousseau is of the most dainty mate
rial and is all hand made. The maid
of honor and bridesmaids were beauti
fully gowned and all looked their best.
Coming right in the midst of the
chrysanthemum season, this was
made a chrysanthemum wedding and
that flower was used most profusely
in adorning the White House. As the
bride’s favorite color is mauve, that
was made the prevailing color In the
decorations. The east ro. m, and In
deed all the rooms in the president’s
mansion, were beautiful indeed.
Depart on Tl.:ir Honeymoon.
After the ceremony wac completed
and the couple had received the Con
gratulations oi the guests, refresh*
ments were served, and then Mr. and
Mrs. Sayre departed for their honey
moon. Their plans include a visit to
the home of Miss Nevin, Mr. Sayre’s
aunt, at Windsor Forges, near Church
town, Pa., where they first met. After
January 1 they will live in Williams
town, Mass., for Mr. Sayre is to sever
his connection wit> the office of Dis
trict Attorney Whitman in New York
and become assistant to Harry A. Gar
field, president of Williams college.
There was one disappointment for
those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts were not put on display. It
is known that these included many
beautifpl and valuable articles sent
by relatives and personal friends of
the bride and groom and of their fam
ilies and by admirers of President
Wilson. Handsome presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that of the latter being a diamond la
valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter of the speaker, bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those who \£ere invited to witness
the wedding were mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed in many heartburnings. From the
house of representatives’ circle, "'for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss
Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader Un
derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and
Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann.
As might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police would permit
with curious persons eager to watch
the arrival and departure of the guests
Gift of the House.
This Is the diamond lavailiere which
was the wedding present of the house of
representatives to Jessie Woodrow Wil
son.
and trying to obtain through the win
dows a glimpse of the doings within.
The police arrangements were admir
able and nothing happened, in the
White House or outside, to mar the
happy occasion.
Immense Wedding Cake.
Jessie Wilson’s wedding cake was a
triumph of the pastry cook’s art. It
was two and a half feet tall, counting
the white orchids that were placed on
top of it, and weighed 135 pounds.
The first layer was four inches thick
and 22 Inches across. The cake con
tained 19 ingredients and its cost was
about $500. Over the body of the
cake was molded a thick white icing
scroll work, on its top was a design
for the initials of the bride and groom,
done in silver, and around the sides
were lilies of the valley in white
sugar. This delicious confection was
distributed in 2,000 dainty white boxes
tied with satin ribbon and each of the
proper size to go under the pillow of
the recipient to bring dreams.
Mrs. Sayre was bora in GainsvHle,
Pa., twenty-five years ago. She at
tended the Women’s college at Balti
more and was an honor member of
the class of 1908, being also elected a
member of Phi Beta Kappa. For two
years after her graduation she en
gaged in settlement work in Kensing
ton, Pa., and she is a member of the
executive board of the National Young
Woman’s Christian association. She
has delivered several excellent ad
dresses in public.
In appearance she does not resem
ble her father as much as do her sis
ters, having rather the features of her
mother’s family, the Axsons.
Something About the Groom.
Francis Bowes Sayre is twenty
eight years old, and was born at
South Bethlehem, Pa., a son of the
late Robert Heysham Sayre, who built
the Lehigh Valley railroad and at
one time was assistant to the presi
dent of the Bethlehem iron works,
since known as the Bethlehem steel
works. He was also once president
of the board of trustees of the Lehigh
university.
Francis Bowes Sayre graduated from
Lawrenceville school, Lawrenceville,
N. J., in 1904, and from Williams col
lege in 1909. He entered Harvard law
school and graduated “cum laude.”
He was a member of the Sigma Phi
fraternity, Gargoyle society and the
Phi Beta Kappa at Williams. For the
past year he has been working in the
office of District Attorney Whitman of
New York. During the summer he
was admitted to the bar of New York
state.
Mr. Sayre's mother is Mrs. Martha
Finlay Sayre, daughter of the late
William Nevin, who was president of
Franklin and Marshal college at
Lancaster, Pa. She is a descendant of
Hugh Williamson of North Carolina,
one of the framers of the Constitution
of the United States, and is a sister
of the late Robert Nevin, head of the
American church at Rome, and a cous
in of Ethelbert Nevin, the composer.
Other White House Weddings.
The wedding of Jessie Wilson and
Francis Sayre was the thirteenth to be
solemnized In the White House. The
first was that of Anna Todd, a niece of
Dolly Madison's first husband, and
John G. Jackson. Then Mrs. Madi
son's sister, Lucy, was married to
Judge Todd of Kentucky. The third
wedding, that of Maria Monroe, daugh
ter of President Monroe, to Samuel
Lawrence Gouvemeur in 1820 marked
the first social use of the east room.
Eight years later John, the second son
of President John Quincy Adams, mar
ried his cousin, Mary Hellen, in the
blue room. While General Jackson
was president there were three wed
dings in the White House, those of
Delia Lewis to Alphonse Joseph Yver
Pageot of the French legation; Mary
Eaton to Lucien B. Polk, and Emily
Martin to Louis Randolph. Many
years passed before there was anoth
er marriage ceremony in the presi
dent’s mansion, the next being of Nel
lie, the only daughter of General
Grant, and Algernon C. F. Sartoris.
In 1876 Emily Platf, a niece of Mrs.
Hayes, was married in the blue room
to Gen. Russell Hastings. The elev
enth of this series of weddings was
that of President Cleveland to Frances
Folsom, and the twelfth that of Presi
dent Roosevelt's daughter Alice, to
Nicholas Longworth.

AGUILAR PROMISES TO GUARO
FOREIGN INTERESTS.
BLUE JACKETS READY IQ LAND
Admiral Fletcher At Gcene Piepared
for Prompt Action If it B*corres
Necessary.
Washington. D. ('. (tear Admiral
Fletcher, commanding the American
fleet, on the east coast 6f .Mexico, has
cabled the navy department a mes
sage lie had received from General
Aguilar, the constitutionalist leader,
who has occupied the vicinity of Tux- |
pam, giving assurances that Ameri
can and other extensive oil interests
in that territory w'ould be protected.
Admiral Fletcher is under orders to
take such steps as may be necessary
to protect foreign lives and property,
reports from Tuxpam having indicat
ed that the constitutionalists were
threatening to destroy the tanks of
British oil interests.
Thin led to talk of the possibility
of the landing of marines or blue
jackets from the American battle
ships and developments in the situa
tion have been awaited with intense
interest.
General Aguilar's message, sent in
reply to Admiral Fletcher’s demand
that no harm should come to foreign
ers of their property, said:
“I am governing on a constitutional '
basis, my attitude being to guard the
interests of all foreign and domestic I
oil corporations existing in the terri
tory I occupy, fulfilling in this man
,ner the demands of civilization.”
Officials here think this means
there will be no trouble—some com
plications as a result of Aguilar's oc
cupation of the oil fields territory.
Destruction of the tanks would have
endangered the lives of. many Ameri
cans and other foreigners. Two Brit
ish armored cruisers have been order
ed to the scene, but in the meantime
the United States had been asked to
j guard British interests.

“The American Federation of La
bor condemns attempts being made
by American and foreign corporations
and certain jingo newspapers to
force armed intervention by the
United States government in Mexico
and.urges upon the president of the
United States the continuance of a
policy looking to the peaceful adjust
ment of the conflict among the Mex
ican people, and - that the president
and secretary of the American Feder
ation of Labor be Instructed to trans
mit the position of the federation
upon that matter to the president of

U. S. Mail Cars Kill Many.
New York—The right of the United

face it burned so. It disfigured my
face terribly and I couldn’t be seen
for everyone was afraid of it. It
looked like a disease of some kind; it
was all red and a heavy white crust
on it. Everybody kept out of my way,
afraid it would spread. I lost rest at

Nuts with milk and a little cream, for
breakfast I am comfortably hungry

take Grape-Nuts alone and feel per
