The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-11-25

I some day if he can. He means to live
 of independent means, he doesn't con- sider himself wealthy enough to own and keep an automo bile. :
 But, while Sayre has been busy dur l ing the two and a half years that he he has known Miss Wilson, he has
 managed to find time on week-ends to pursue his cotzrtshfp. To woo the | daughter of the President-e1ect and avoid the 1inneHght of publicity was difficult.
 Often since he has been weekend guest at the White House, but it never was generally known and no one in official Washington guessed the secret in advance of the announcement.
 Not Society Woman.
 The Presidents. second daughter, the bride, has been so absorbed in her work in the cause of social welfare that she has partaken but little of l Washington society since the advent of the Wilson family to the White House. To the girl who had spent most of her life in the academic town of Princeton, the blisy whir1 of Wash ington, with it's gIam our and social sJ- premity brought no change, and after only a few months residence in the White House she leaves to live again 1n a cOll0S1SLI0
 Miss Wilson was born 26 years ago in Gainesville, Ga, but ever since she was five years old she has called Princeton 'thome." Her education went on like her sisters until her twelfth year. under a German gOvef- ness, supplementing the training in which Mrs. Wilson took first hand. After Princeton's schools. Miss Will son went to Boucher College, Ba1ti- more. There she specialized in polit- ical economy, an inherited taste.
 Was Settlement Worker.
 She began then her settlement work. That is said to have been a compromise as, it is believed, she really wanted to go into the foreign missionary field. Her devotion to social problems since has shown that she found satisfaction in her choice. Her first assignm ent as a settlement worker was to the Kensington mill district in Phi1adel- phia,, where she staid two years. She arrived every Monday morning and remained until Friday night, re- turning to her Princeton home over the weekend.
 She had quite the same kind of ex- istence in Kensington as the girls ur1- der her care. She lived in the set clement, which is called the Light house, and often had her meals there with it's homely fare and uncovered tables. The young folks in whose weIl-being she had part, whose trou- b1es she shared, and whose better ment she sought more than anything e1se grew very fond of her. She made frequent visits to the sick and needy, and held regular meetings of mothers clubs, where she taught fn- dustry, economy and cleanliness.
 FavOrs Suffrage.
 Miss Wilson's work in the settle ments of Philadelphia, and her close study of social problems, have made her a believer in woman's suffrage. She doesn't favor militant methods for obtaining the ballot and on ac- count of her fathers official position has not taken as active a part in the suffrage campaign as she might have desired. Not all the feminine mem bers of the Wilson family believe in suffrage for women, though Miss Jes- sic, it has often been reported, had made converts in the domestic circle
 The last year or two has been spent by Miss Wilson also in work with the national board of the Young Women's Christian Association. Miss Wilson has found time to make several speeches for the Y. W. c. A on social welfare topics. She is fond like her future husband of outdoor sports tennis. driving. and horseback riding. She has not spent much of her leis- ure in the drawing room, and Wash ington does not know her as well as one would have thought in view of the numerous opportunities for social festivity.
 Excellent Housewife.
 The White House bride is a good She can cook, sew and do fancy work, trim hats, remodel i gowns, and is expert in all the other far int a which h11ex are bent Her bridal fnery has many Homemade and home-decorat- ed articles.
 With eager enthusiasm, Miss Wilson | is looking forward to a home of her own, and she and MT. Sayre during their many trips to Williamstown. 1 Mass, last summer selected a modest 1 but extremely comfortable little house. ]
 MT. Sayre will be among his old | friends, the professors who taught him l in his college days and the townsfolk | who knew him as a leader among the | students. He is to be assistant to | President Garfieldd of Williams, a. po- sition somewhat more than secretary. He may help in the municipal govern ment course. He may represent 1 President Garfield of Williams, a po- sions, and he will have 8 share in the administration of the college
 As for the bride she will continue to take a deep interest in the things with which she has been associated
