Thirteen" Figures in Romance.

Like many important happenings in the
Wilson family. the announcement of the
engagement was entwined with the mystic
number "13." Yesterday was not only
the 18th of the month, but it was Friday
the 18th. And to carry the coincidence
further, Eleanor Wilson and William Nc
Adoo both have thirteen letters in their
names. as have Woodrow Wilson as well
as Jessie w. Wilson and Francis B. Sayre.
the last White House bridal couple.
The announcement of the engagement
was issued by Secretary Tumulty from
the White House in the following brief
form: THE President and Mrs. Wilson
announce the engagement. of their young
est daughter, Eleanor Randolph, to Hon.
William Gibbs McAdoo'
Persistent reports of the engagement
have been current since last Saturday
night. when Secretary McAdoo gave a
dinner in honor of Miss Wilson. That
event brought to head the rumors
which have been going the rounds of
friends of the couple for several months.
and it was considered only matter of
time before the formal announcement
would be made.
There has been extraordinary interest in
the engagement among officials of the
government and the many friends both
Miss Wilson and the cabinet officer
have made during the year they have
been in Washington. The youngest OF
the family, Miss Eleanor is said to be her
fathers pet, and there is a strong per-
sonal friendship between the President
and the man who is to marry his daugh-
ter.
