men and the larger good. But one
of my daughters is a suffragist."
And though she smiling refused to
say which one, friends of the Viii
son family assured me that there
could be no doubt that Mrs. Wilson
referred to her daughter Jessie.
Mrs. Wilson introduced me to all
three of her daughters at that time.
The eldest, Margaret, who will be
her sisters maid of honor, is the
smallest and slightest of the three.
She bears marked resemblance to
her father, wears glasses as he does
and possesses a fine soprano voice
which has been carefully cultivated
and which led her to make her debut
at benefit concert as professional
singer a few weeks ago..
Eleanor, the youngest sister, has
her mothers dark brown hair and
dark eyes. Most of the newspaper
men who camped alongside the Will
son home during that campaign sum-
mer thought Eleanor the handsom-
est of the Wilson girls, but preferred
Jessie. All three daughters have
charming simple, natural manners.
They wore simple tub-dresses,
any one of which could have been
duplicated for five dollars, and Jes-
sizes, remember, was of blue linen.
Blue, by the way, is the brides IA
vorite color, chosen for her going
away gown and, in fact, for the DOM
mating note of her troUsseau.
Since their father became presi-
dent of the United States the Wilson
Girls have not altered the simplicity
of their attire. Any morning you
may see Jessie Wilson going about
the white house in a plain dark skirt
no drapery, no slit and no min
aret-and white tailored shirtWaist
with long sleeves and collar-a 81
shirtwaist that any girl might wear
to work.
For Jessie Wilson does not care

Sayre.
1 think you will all like to know
just what the bride is like. She is
rather tall-say, five feet six or so;
quite slender with a long oval face in
which the cheek bones are noticeably
high and in which the dominating
quality is an earnest sweetness.
She has hair of blond chestnut
color which she wears parted and
uncurled. Her eyes are deep blue
and they have mystic quality. They
might be the eyes of Joan of Arc
seeing her vision of conquest and
martyrdom.
Is she beautiful?
Well, she does not look like the
society heroine of Robert w.
Chambers novel, but Mrs. Humphrey
Ward would be proud to claim her
among the high-bred, spirited young
women of whom she loves to write,
and it George Eliot were alive today
she, too, would admit Jessie Wilson
to her galaxy of charming women.
For several years Jessie Wilson has
been greatly interested in the work |
