MISS WILSON IS
PLAIN JESSIE
INKENSINGTON
Pennsylvania Folk, Whom Daugh-

White House Bride-to-Be.

PHILADELPHIA, July 19.-Ken-
singtOn is living over again the three
years that Miss Jessie Wilson, the
Presidents second daughter, whose
engagement to Francis Bowen Sayre,
of Bethlehem, has just been an
nounced, spent as a social worker in
the mill district.
To Kensington she is Just "Jessle,"
and Jessie" she always will be, the
girl who travelled up and down mar
row streets on visits of mercy, who
attended the sick beds of mothers and
was a sister to the working girls and
a pal of the short trousered boys who
gathered at the Lighthouse gymna-
stun.
Miss Wilson'S work OF social service
at the Lighthouse, 1872 West Lehigh
avenue, brought her in close contact
with the men, women and children
Of the mill sections, and to all Of
them she endeared herself by her
modesty, her unassuming manner, her
cordially and sincerity. The life of
the settlement she followed closely,
spending five days a week in routine
work and returning TO her home in
Princeton for the weekend.
Many a meal Jessie Wilson has
eaten at the uncovered tables Of the
Lighthouse Restaurant with motor
men and millworkers for her com
paniOns, never thinking herself a
whit better than the people who sur
rounded her.
Roast beef, fried potatoes, tomato
sauce, lemon pie, bread and butter,
and coffee-why should a Presidents
daughter want more? And she didn't
want more. So when it was more
| convenient to at eat the restaurant
! than with Mr.. and Mrs. r. Porter

Lighthouse, with whom she resided,

for there is only one kind of dance,
that which is taught by Isadora Dun

Andre deFouquieres says tango is
a sad, melancholy dance which will
never lastingly appeal to the lively,
animated French people.
He thinks II should be limited to
the stage. 1t can be danced very
correctly; on the other hand it is liza

PARIS, July 19.-PersonaIly I am
quite unable to understand why the
tango's merits and demerits should
continue to interest Parisians. But it
is an undeniable fact that the Argen-
tine rationale dance, which, by the
way. is repudiated by the Argentine
legation, still remains the subject Of
most heated discussions in the salons
and everywhere.
The exotic dance was fortunate in
arriving here at a time when we were
practically at our wits end for a new
subject of conversation. Society found
what ii wanted the very moment the
chief of police forbade the tango to
be danced in public, and now tango
has reached the heights Of it's popu-
larity. 1t may even survive this
dreadfully hot summer. II is dis
cussed in society at the "fves" in the
Bots. and tout Paris" is at present
divided into two hostile camps-for
and against tango.
Tango at Senate Ball.
Since the tango, as l said, has been
repudiated by the Argentine Embassy,
we really do not know where the
dance comes from, but we have adopt
ed it, and the other evening I saw it
danced most beautifully at a ball
given by the President of the Senate
in Luxembourg.
Our theatrical ladies find it far
more interesting and plastic than
either the Boston or the grizzly hug,
with no "reminiscences of the cake
walk" Of which they heartily tired.
Gabriel d'Annunzio. who was asked
his opinion Of the tango, replied with
a smile; Why, everybody tells me !
dance it admirably, so, of course, l
am delighted with it,"
Madame Cassimlr Perier sees abso-
lutely nothing interesting the the tan
go, which has made no impression
whatever on her, but Maurice Ros-
tand, son Of our great and immortal
poet, finds tango Incompatible, SYM
bolizing soft and gentle, perhaps a
little sad, dreams" He emphatically
declares that it must be danced only
by young and beautiful partners who
are in perfect harmony body and soul.
La Belle Otero Enthusiastic.
"LaBelle Otero" Is enthusiastic
about tango and tells me that In a
revue soon to be performed she will
dance 1t as Paris has never seen any
thing danced before. l am afraid it
will be most shocking.
Princess Lucien Murat has startled
