smiled her languid. mysterious smile.
But Of sudden one Of the two
striplings who had spoken for Sister
Humphreys left his place by the Win
dow and ran to the door.
With instant premonition Of peril,
the flock of Zion turned on the bench
es. A deep intake Of breath signified
their dismay as there entered tall
brown woman in widows weeds. She
cast calm, full eye over the faces un-
der the lamplights-faces already
stricken awry with fear; for, notwith-
standing their numbers and apparent
strength of position, dread Of the pas
tor insisted, as light insists through
closed eyelids.
Sister Humphreys walked with no
pause to the platform. Brother Nor
row was so short man and she was
so tall woman that her handsome
head lowered above his. She was
brown negro, but her lighter color and
her regular features and thinner,
more sensitive lips were due to no ad-
mixture of white blood; they came
from a dash of the yellow races mixed
long before her time in the old world,
where her ancestors were barbaric
princes. She stood with the incom-
parable grace that is given sometimes
to the bearer Of burdens, tall. erect,
shapely. She spoke in a mellow rich
voice not raised note above it's
speaking tone.

terrogated Sister Humphreys of Broth

Morrow replied quickly, flinching from

Susannah and her husband were
both on their feet, both ready to
speak; but something In the attitude
Of the figure on the platform to which
the long lines Of the mourning-veil gave
a strange suggestion Of sibylline dig
nifty, held speech away from them. Sol.

ALL IN READINESS FOR
WHITE HOUSE WEDDING

Washington, Nov 24.-Before an i'm
provised altar in the historic East
Room of the White House, on the same
spot where Miss Nellie Grant
and Algernon Sartoris took the vows
forty years ago and where Miss Alice
Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth
plighted their troth in 1906, the Rev.
Sylvester w Beach, of the Presbyter-
ian church in Princeton, N. j., will to-
morrow afternoon pronounce the words
which will unite in marriage Miss
Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second daugh-
ter of the President of the United
States, and Mr.. Francis Bowes Sayre.
son of the late Robert H. Sayre, the
builder of the Lehigh Valley Railroad.
The ceremony-whichi is set for 80
II. M.-will be witnessed by one of the
most brilliant and distinguished as
semblages ever gathered in the execu-
tive mansion. II was the early desire
not only of Miss Wilson, who was most
concerned, but of the President and
Mrs. Wilson, that the wedding should
be celebrated in a manner comparative
ly quiet, that it should be a family
affair. This, it shortly was discovered,
could not be gratified.
Only about 400 guests, mostly rela-
tives and intimate friends, will witness
the ceremony. but nearly three times
that number have been invited to at
tend the reception that will follow
Among those in attendance will be the
Vice President and Mrs. Marshall, the
foreign diplomats and their families,
the cabinet members and their fami-
lies, the supreme court justices and
their families, and numerous members
of congress and high officers of the
army and navy and their families. The
relatives of the two families alone
number several score The most of
these, together with the members of
the wedding party, are already guests
at the White House.
The floral decorations will be more
elaborate than any heretofore have
been In President Wilson's admins
tration. With the decorations in all
the rooms on the main floor of the
White House will be beautiful, they
will be less than those in the East
Room, which will be beautified with
thousands of chrysanthemums grown
n the White House Conservatives.

field. The final score was 0 to o..
Throughout the game there were many
thrills. When one side would seem to
be on the way to a touchdown some
thing would happen; either the other
side would hold for downs or fumbled
ball, and the ball would change hands
and the fight would be resumed. Meth

but the Normal line withstood the at
