Bellefonte, Pa., November 21, 1913. } | AID ARMIES AS FORAGERS. Wife of Federal Officer Leads Rebels Into Ambush and Then Escapes In Rain of Bullets—Wealthy Young Wo- man Takes Her Dead Brother's Place In Constitutionalist Ranks. | i Women of Mexico are playing al prominent part in the warfare of the southern republic as “soldaderas,” for-' aging successfully for their men folk in the armies and occasionally being: actual fighters, according to corre- | spondence from Del Rio, Tex. { This is true probably because the! present revolution has touched individ- | uals and homes more intimately than | any other conflict of recent times in Mexico. Many women have left their’ homes rather than remain alon-., and a few of them have gone under fire to get revenge. | Girl Replaces Brother. | In the siege of the large city of Monterey a valued member of Gen- eral Pablo Gonzales’ Constitutionalist command was Senorita Maria Sanchez. said to be n wealthy Castillan, whose ' brother was shot by federal irregu- lars. She gave up the comforts of a luxurious home and begged permission | to replace her brothe.. : Recently at Monclova a son of Seno- | ra Plmental of that city had been sentenced to be shot. The mother, it is said, entered the federal jail by stealth and, stabbing two guards, re- leased her boy, and both escaped to the Constitutionist headquarters at Hermanos. In the federal ranks there is told the story of the wife of an officer who led the Constitutionalists into an am-! buscade at Puerta Carmen and, though fired upon by the angered reb- | els, galloped through the lines to her husband's side. : When less than a month ago the fed- eral army of General Maas occupied the Constitutionalists’ provisional cap- ital at Piedras Negras “soldaderas” played an important part in the blood- less capture. | Women Guard Wagon Train. A small group of them pitched their tents on the overlooking hills two days before the soldiers arrived. When the army came fully 500 of these soldier- women accompanied the troops. most of them guarding the wagon train which their skill as foragers had sup- plied. After the city was occupied the women spread food for the entire army in the plaza. These “soldaderas” are expert with both knife and rifle. One of the famous women fighters is Mrs. Alonzo Alanis, who recently sur- rendered to the Huerta garrison in Juarez and was pardoned. She is the wife of a former Maderist commander and became a leader during the revolt against Madero. One night at the head of a picked band she rode into Juarez, held up the police station, took all available arms and escaped to the hills. She remain- ed at the head of her troop several months, WOMAN A LUMBERJACK. With Twin Daughters Will Supply Chicago's Christmas Trees. Many of the Christmas trees which will make Chicago children happy this year will be brought from the woods of northern Michigan through the ef-| forts of a widow and her twin daugh- | ters. The husband and father of the’ family lost his life last winter when the Christmas tree ship Rouse Sim- mons, of which he had been captain for twenty years, went to the bottom of Lake Michigan during a storm. Mrs. Herman Schuenemann of Chi- cago, the widow, is now in the Michi: gan woods directing a force of men in the work of cutting the trees. Her | twin daughters, Elsie and May. are looking over the Chicago shipping lists for a vessel in which to bring the trees to market. “Since father went down with the ship Rouse Simmons," said Elsie to an interviewer, “mother has felt she had a work to carry on as a memorial and is determined that one Christmas ship shall bear his name.” Pe -r Beautiful India. india benrs the same relation to the orient that Italy does to Furope.

Miss Eleanor Wilson, | ROM the time of the announce- ment of the engagement of Miss Jessie Woodrow Wilson, second of the president's three daughters, and Francis B. Sayre the entire country took the livellest inter- est in the arrangements for the wed- ding, and as the day, Nov. 23, ap- proached the interest increased apace. With the return of Mrs. Wilson and | her daughters t» Washington about the middle of October the White House Sayre knew in Labrador and with whom he trailed northern Newfound- land; Dr. Gilbert H. Horax of Mont- clair, N. J.. classmate of the bride groom at Williams, class of 1909. now at Johns Hopkins medical school, and Charles E, Hughes, Jr.. son of Justice Hughes of the United States supreme court, who was a classmate of Mr. Sayre at Harvard law school. Elegance and Simplicity. Invitations to the wedding were in a style of simple elegance, engraved on | | | took on an air of added activity, and | ivory tinted heavy paper, double fold. the details of the wedding were 30 ' about 9 by 10 inches, with the United | varied and numerous that Mrs, Wil clal secretary. While Miss Wilson was the thir- teenth bride going forth from the White House, her marriage was only the fifth in which ¢he bride was a president's daughter. It was announced that the company witnessing the wed- ding would not be as large as that assembled at the marriage of Miss Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Long: worth, for the president and his wife desired to limit an otlicial company to about 400 guests. Selecting the Guests. At a visit made by Miss Isabelle Hagner, Mrs. Wilson's social secreta- ry, to the summer White House at Cornish, N. H., there was made what was believed to be a final revision of the official guests and personal friends to whom invitations were to be sent. Following this final revision, however, there were additions and subtractions made from time to time, but the list always was carefully guarded. It was a delicate matter, this selection of the guests, and Washington society par- ticularly awaited the names of the highly favored ones. The plans called for the wedding to be held at 4:30 p. m. on Tuesday, Nov, 25. The Rev. Sylvester W. Beach, the president's pastor at Princeton, N. J., was selected to perform the ceremony. The Official Details. When the official details of the wed- ding were announced it was seen that the bride would be attended by her el- | der sister, Margaret, as maid of honor and her younger sister, Eleanor; Miss Mary G. White of Baltimore, Miss A. Goucher, a college friend of the bride; Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott, daughter of Professor Willlam B. Scott of Princeton, and Miss Marjorie Brown, daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cousin, Colo- nel E. T. Brown of Atlanta, Ga., as bridesmaids. Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, with whom Mr. Sayre worked in Labrador, was selected as the best man, and the ush- ers were named as follows: Benjamin B. Burton of New York, a graduate of Williams college, 1912; Dr, Scoville Olark of Salem, Mass, whom Mr. States coat of arms embossed heavily est script: | “The President and Mrs. Wilson re- quest the pleasure of the presence of — (blank line for the name of guest written skilfully with a pen to match the engraving exactly), at the marriage of their daughter, Jessie Woodrow, to Mr. Francis Bowes Sayre, on Tuesday.

The wedding gown was made in Like her mother, she is a blond, with a Greck profile, a delicate rose pink | complexion and large blue eyes. She | plays tennis, rides horseback, swims | and dances, | As this was to be a chrysanthemum wedding, it had been arranged to have | great quantities of this flower adorn | the White House. The predominating | color was mauve, the bride's favorite | color, and there is no color which con- | trasts and harmonizes more perfectly | with the newly decorated White House. | The Honeymoon Plans. | Tentative plans for the honeymoon ' included a visit to Windsor Forges, near Churchtown, Pa., the home of | Miss Nevin. the bridegroom's aunt, where Miss Wilson and Mr. Sayre! were visiting when they first met. Mr. Sayre will take his bride to Williams- | town, Mass., where their home, leased from Professor William E. McElfresh, | at 40 Grace street, has been put in! readiness for them. Washington society folk were in- tensely interested in the trousseau, | and when it arrived at the White New York and was of soft ivory tint- | ed satin with much rare cid lace. The lingerie portions of the trousseau were all handmade and of the daintiest an } House from New York, Baltimore and Washington it was seen that the pre- | dominating color was violet, In addition to arranging the details of the wedding Miss Wilson was busy directing the furnishing and decoration of her future home in Williamstown, inost delicate construction and materi | Where they will live after January, als.

Garfield of Williams Naturally every one was interested | college. in the young man who bad won the hand of the daughter of the president. Francis Bowes Sayre, scion of the old and wealthy Sayre family of eastern | Pennsylvania, which built and partly owns the Lehigh Valley railroad, is a graduate of Williams college and of the Harvard law school. For the past year Mr. Sayre has been connected with the office of District Attorney Charles 8. Whitman in New York. Mr. | SBayre’s mother, daughter of John Wil- ! lamson Nevin, president of Franklin ‘and Marshall college, Lancaster,.Pa., is a descendant of Hugh Williamson of North Carolina, one of the framers of the United States constitution. One of her sons is now a minister in China. Mr. Sayre is also interested in social settlement work. Something About the Bride, Miss Jessie Wilson was born at Gainesville, Ga. Her early education was at hom uader a German govern- ess. After { aishing her studies at the Baltimore Woman's college she went into settlement work. She is the youngest member of the national board of the Young Women's Chris- tian association. and she composed a number of the prayers read at the'Y. M. ©. A. convention at Richmond, Va. Slight Hitch Over Present. The house of representatives declar- ed its intention of giving Miss Wilsor a handsome present on the occasion of her wedding. Representative Edward W. Townsend of Montclair, N, J., a member of the committee chosen to select the gift, said: “We received from members of the house chout $2,000 in contributions to Miss Wilson's wedding gift fund. It was the purpese of the committee to select a present which would be of practical use to the bride all her life. All the committeemen are married, and that settled the matter. We thought the young bride would be better pleas- ed with a silver table set than gems or anything else.” Incidentally this proposal of mem- bers contributing to a present caused a little unpleasantness in the house of representatives. Representative Fin- ley H. Gray of indiana criticised his legislative associates In a speech for “chipping in” for a wedding gift. Pres- ident Wilson himself, it is said. had intimated his disapproval of the move- ment. which had been started by Re- publican Floor Leader Mann.
