FianCee Visits
His Brother

or at family luncheon party
Several hundred people in Balti-
more learned Of the presence of the
couple and crowded about the church
and the apartment house In which
Joseph r. Wilson lives to catch
glimpse of the President and his
bride to be. Because 1t was Sun.
day the applause OF Friday and Sat
urday in New York and Philadelphia
was missing, but the people voiced
their approval of the Presidents
choice in audible comments.
Mrs. Bait wore a blue taffets gown
a black velvet hat trimmed with fur,
champagne colored gloves and
snort face veil, and smiled happily
at the crowd. The President too
smiled continually. On the third
finger of her left hand Mrs. Gait
wore the diamond engagement ring
given her by the President in New
York. 1t had been reported that the
platinum ring was set with only a
solitaire diamond, but today 1t was
noticed that 1t also had several
smaller diamonds in the narrow gold
band.
Efforts OF man giving his name
as Joseph Pruijk and his address as
Brussels, Belgium to follow the Pres
ident's party and later to enter the
church, caused ripple of excite
ment. The man said he was col
lecting money for the suffering Bel
gians and that he vas visiting in
Baltimore. The police became sus.
picious, however, and prevented him
from entering the church. He pro
tested that he meant no harm and
merely wanted to see the distinguish
ed visitors.

cided last night after their return
from Philadelphia to make the trir
