Visits Armory.
That Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter Of
| the President and bride-elect. possessed
occult powers was not known until
Friday. November {, 1913: but here
after that date will be one which psy
biologists will pore with much interest
-as will about six million Of the COM
mon people.
! There are twelve million pretty good
eyes in New York, as eyes SO, but they
failed TO work satisfactorily yesterday,
as any reporter will tell YOU after hear
| ing from his city editor.
| Miss Wilson was here; she went shop
ping. There's no doubt about that. The
Waldorf admits her presence; the per-
| fervid and superheated atmosphere in
the Fifth avenue shops was eloquent
evidence that the coming white House
i bride" was there or thereabOuts. Every
body that looked in the least like Miss
Wilson or even her pictures. was
grabbed by a reporter or photog-
rapher or a curiosity seeker or po-
| liceman.
But every single one OF them proved
perfect alibi. Not one Of them could
tell Miss Genevieve Clark's first name.
And it's well known that Miss Jessie
Wilson could do that OF course she
could.
Saw, but Others Didn't.
Miss Genevieve Clark is here now
buying a present for Miss Jessie Will
son. a present that the House OF Rep
resentatives means to surprise Miss
Wilson with. Miss Wilson VIII un-
doubtedly be greatly surprised when
she receives the present. not more than
ten thousand newspapers having car
ried more than ten thousand words
about II something like ten thousand
times. She will be surprised vastly.
Miss Wilson saw Miss Clark and
Miss Clark saw Miss Wilson yesterday.
Therein Miss Clark demonstrated that
she has the best eyes in New York and
therein Miss Wilson demonstrated her
occult powers. No one doubts the
brightness Of Miss Clarks eyes; they
are bright. Only how does she manage
it?-
Reporters TO the right OF her.

Modistes surrounding hef
Vast mobs ahounding her,
How did she do II?
She lust simply did it-she shopped
all she pleased and went her way
lightly humming: To-day | brew. to-
morrow ! bake, next day the queen
child | shall take; how glad | am that
no one knows my name Is Rumpei-
stiltskin."
Has any body here seen Miss Wilson's
trousseau?
The answer is No.
Miss Wilson had her wedding gown
fitted to her own and the queens taste
and then she disappeared. IL Is not
thought she will please New York with
another visit until she is Mrs. Francis
Bowes Sayre.
Mr., Sayre was also among the miss
ing Yesterday, although there was no
general alarm sent out for him. Al
his home there did not seem to be any
partIcular uneasiness over his disap-
pearance.
Nrs Sayre. the mother. did not trem-
hle as she answered questions; nor was
her face pale.
Hes not here" she said, smilingly,
"snd | don't think he'll be in TIL quite
late" II would not be etiquette to
say anything about sounds in the next
room. II might have been the cat.
Miss Clark Has tho Present.
Miss Clark, envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary in the matter
of the present referred to, said she had
not decided upon anything yet, but she
Looked knowing No hint was given
o,t as TO what she really has in mind
or in nice wrapping paper for the bride,
but she has something.
Now, if you have read this far youll
learn something-Miss Jessie Wilson
herself, sitting right beside Mr.. Sayre'
appeared in full bloo.i at the list reg

night.
She appeared just as you would ex-
meet. radiant and happy, and he-"cii'
what's the use describing him? Words
fail at times He was right there
that's all.
Az a matter Of fact, while 1t should
not count in the circumstances, Mr..
savre had lots of things TO be tickled
over. District Attorney Whitman had
ius. announced that he had advanced
Mr. sayre to the position of Deputy
| ,ssistant District Attorney. While
Mr. sayre has been doing the work OF
deputy he has been rated only as
c,erk in the Office. His promotion fol-

and in January will take up his duties
