The wedding was over, and every
body was kissing the bride, when
Father O'Donnell thought of something
else.
ooh, Mrs Smith" he called.
The bridesmaid nudged Miss Alberta
Hill that was.
"Oh, yes" blushed the bride.
"Mrs. Smith, will you promise to obey
your husband?"
The suffragist bride flung her bou-
quet into her husbands arm and made
the priest low bow.

Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch and ali
the suffrage guests applauded proudly.
Frank Smith, the bridegroom, grinned.
Aside from this little ripple, it was
just like all afternoon weddings. The
bride wore white cloth suit, trimmed
with white fur, and L white velvet hat
and carried white roses and lilies-of-
the-valley. The bridesmaid, Miss Mary
Elizabeth Newman, wore sand colore1
suit and carried red roses. Harold
Smith, brother of the bridegroom, was
best man. The ceremony was per-
formed in the rectory of the Angus
tinian Church, Tompkinsville, Staten
Island, by the Rev. P. J. O'Donnell.

About forty guests assembled TO see
the star worker of the Women's Po-

PRESIDENT MEETS FIANCEE
On Arrival Here He Goes at Once 10
ST. Regis 20 Call On Mrs. Gait.

New York had only one attraction
for President Wilson yesterday after
noon. Arriving at the Pennsylvania
station soon after 8 o'clock, he went
at once 20 the St Regis Hotel, where
Mrs. Gait, his hanoee, is staying with
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones. the Presi-
dents cousin. That was the only call
he made. The President remained at
the hotel until Gao o'clock, and then
hurried 10 the home of Colonel F. NJ
House. in East Fifty-third Street, 20
don evening clothes for the Manhattan
Club dinner.
Francis b. Sayre, the Presidents SON
in-law, visited the President and Mrs.
Gait about o'clock and remained with
them for an hour.
Twenty-Five policemen. under In
spectors Cray and Morris, and num-
Der of Secret Service men were in the
Pennsylvania station, but they had lit
tie work TO do, as few persons knew
Of the Presidents arrival, and there
was no crowd. Colonel House, at
whose home the President stayed last
night. met him at the station.
Mrs. Gait spent almost the entire
morning in Kurzran's millinery and
gown shop, on Fifth Avenue. Miss
Bones and Miss Agnes Gordon accom-
panied her. After a few other stops
she returned to the hotel about 2
o'clock TO wait for the President. Mr.
Wilson will return 20 Washington this
morning.

PARIS LENDS u. S.
ITS FASHION QUEEN
Collection of Gowns Will Be
Sold by Nine. Fernandez to
Aid War Orphans.

Nine. Ramon Fernandez, hailed by
Paris as its best dressed woman, re-
ceived several reporters in the recep-
tion room of Vogue" yesterday after
noon. Madame doesn't speak English,
but she speaks most admirable French
not the French, she will tell you, of
Paris, but of the Midi. A delightful
little shrug accompanies this olstinc-
ton. and ii seems TO say: "Mon dieu!
do you think the best French is spoken
in Paris ?"
With NJ. Boutet de Monvel, author
and patriot, Nine. Fernandez arrived
on the Rochambeau last Sunday, with o
remarkable collection of French gowns,
which will be disposed Of for the bene-
fit of the war orphans of France.
These gowns will be paraded by man
nequins at the ST. Regis November %,
and placed on sale thereafter. Pro-
ceeds, both from the sale Of the gowns
and the entrance fees to the exhibit,
will 90 10 the orphan fund Of her
country.
Nine. Ferdinand will have super
vision over the display of the modes
which come from syndicate composed
of the most exclusive couturiers Of
Paris. The exhibit will be something
more than a mere spectacle, for NJ. de
Monvel has been commissioned 10 write
drama" for the purpose of exploit
ing the gowns.
NJ. de Monvel Joined the colors at
the outbreak of the war, and was
severely wounded at Ypres. Though
physically unable to return to the front,
NJ. de Monvel was unwilling that his
services to his country should cease,
and was therefore quite willing to
undertake the enterprise of La Grande
Couture Francaise, as the syndicate
which sent him is known.
