A telegram to her fiance, James Gould,
Jr., In Oklahoma, breaking her engagement,
preceded by 24 hours tho wedding hero to
night of Miss Elizabeth DuPuy Scott, a
Philadelphia debutante, and Captain Wal
ton Clark, Jr., of Company L, 2d Regi
ment. With tho 2d Regiment ordered to entrain
for tho border, Miss Scott and her parents
and a group of relatives motored from

hind the mountains the couple knelt on a
pair of'wmy Baddlo blankets and In the
presence of tho entire regiment wero pro

who Is the commander of Company L, Is
one of three soldier sons of Walton Clark,
second vlco president of tho United Gas
Improvement Company of Philadelphia.
The Scott home Is at Stcnton and Ablngton
aenues, Chestnut Hill.
Less than an hour after tho ceremony
was performed eery Guardsman In tho
camp was talking about the latest of war
romances. Tho grave Mexican situation
was forgotten temporarily while a rush to
congratulate Captain Clark and his brido
was made.
MANY SURPRISES.
Surprises galore camo with the marrlago
Miss Spott left Philadelphia, It was learned,
without even a wedding outfit She was
attired In a plain tailored sutl of dark blue
when the chaplain pronounced the words
that united her and Captain Clark In wed
lock. Miss Scott, who Is familiarly known as
"Betty" Scott, shortly after Easter an
nounced her engagement to James Gould,
Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. James Gould, of
Philadelphia.
Until two days ago Mr. Gould had no
Idea that he had a rival for the hand
of Miss Scott Ills first Intimation of his
fiancee's change of heart came Monday,
when Miss Scott vWred him In Oklahoma,
whero he Is working In the oil fields, that
she had changed her mind and was going
to marry Captain Clark.
With Miss Scott were her parents, her
uncle and aunt, Dr. and Mrs Barton Cooke
Hirst, and tholr family; Miss Nancy Scott
nnd Miss Arabella Scott, couslni of tho

Mr. and Mrs Scott themsches, an
nounced that they had no Idea that Betty
had planned to bo a war brido until she
returned to Philadelphia from the camp
here on Monday, after spending tho day
with Captain Clark.
Tho brldo's preferonco for military men
Is not without foundation. Her fRther, J.
Hutchinson Scott, won fame In the Spanish
American war and was decorated for brav
ery and splendid service. Ho resigned
from active service ton years ago. Ho is
now a New York business man
NIECI3 OP MAJOR SCOTT.

In Philadelphia society. She Is tall, ath
letic and a beautiful dancer. Sho waB
one of the most popular girls among this
year's debutantes. Several entertainments
wero given In her honor, and she was much
in demand at balls and dances The news
of her engagement to young Gould In April
was pleasant, but tho announcement that
sho would llo In far-off Oklahoma was
greatly deplored by Philadelphia society
at the time
Mr Gould is a graduate of Andover Col
lege and was attending Yale UnUerslty
when ho decided to go Into the oil business,
with headquarters In Oklahoma. He Is a
brother of Sydney Gould, a student at Yale,
and Is also related to the Goulds of New

Juno 28. Heart throbs of a great camp
would nil a book If one had tho tlmo to
wrlto them all.
Somo of them nro so glaring, however,
that they aro the talk of the camp.
For Instance, the telegrams that pour to
the various colonels nnd captains from anx
ious mothers, from homes of wealthy and
poor alike, whero thoro are heart throbs
begging thnt something be done to keen
their boys from going to Moxlco, would fill
columns. ,
One mother, who lost her husband but a
few weeks ngo, 1b hero In widow's clothing
to seo her son who enlisted from Oil City,
whore ho was employed. This Is her only
son. Sho Is doing all In her powor to hao
him detained.
Ono father told with tears In his eyes
of tho llttlo boy ho loft behind. Tho father
Is a captain! '" the lGth Regiment Each
summer for years he has been taking tho
lad to summer encampment to Instil
patriotism In him. When mobilization orders
camo thero was a family clrclo of fare

soldier" nnd his father had been In
separable chums. Suddenly the lad bolted
from tho room Soon afterward tho father
found him on tho kitchen table, his head
burled In his arms and sobbing Vs though
his heart would break.
With Spartan pride and courage, the cap
tain gulped down a lump In his throat and
said, "Son, stand up and salute the cap.

And he did.
With tho tears streaming down over his
chubby cheeks,' for ho is only1 about 10
years old. tho boy sto,od at attention,
saluted and then disappeared to control his
pent-up feelings.
There Is one man, a musician, who en
listed In a band some years ago. He him
Belt Is anxious to go to the front, but back
home there Is an aged couple close to the
fourscore mark, who aro absolutely do
pendent on him. When he stops working
they havo no one to care for them. Whin
ho enlisted his younger brother was still
unmarrlod. Now the musician Is the Bole
pupport of tho parents.
"But I am not yellow and I must go,"
said tho young man, when talking of the
heart throbs at his home.
Then thero are tho little babies, brought
In tho arms of their mothers, whq come to
kiss "Daddy" good-by. Strong men look
on with molBt eyes as they watch tho
touching "good-bys" or else turn their heads
to hide tholr emotions.
Truly, those who have not seen a mobili

It affords. They may read. They may
hear. But they will never quite compre
hend until they see.

CAMP BRUMDAUOH.
June 28, There's muslo in the air here.
Some of It is martial, and some of It Is Just
music the sort of muslo which a group of
lusty-lunged Pennsylvania National Guards,
men can make ring out over the Blue Ridge
mountains. i
And the Bongs well, they would bring
laughter and smiles even to the most solemn
face, at this critical time. The boys have
been having the times of their lives
"making up" songs.
The favorite old ones aro "America, I
Love You" arid "Pennsylvania, That Grand
Old Keystone State." To be sure, some of
the songs have to be "censored" before be
lng fit for publication. Most of the tunes
are original. Thers, are cheers as well -
songs.
"On to , Mexico" Is ona of tho cheers
which echoes over the Blue Ridge hills
dally as N. O. P. men are mustered Into
tho Federal service when they take their
oats by companies.
Day and night, whenever tha boys gather
In groups, they sing "Anierlca J Love You,"
They meet the hundreds of recruits whq
rs arriving on every train with that song,
and "Hall, Hall, the, Gang's. All Here."

MT. GRETNA,
Bands play and cheers sound when recruits
come In.
When they aro In an especially reminis
cent mood, or when they thJnk of home and
mother and want to cheer up the bunch,
they sing.
"It's home, toys, home,
It'a where xoe ought to be;
Home, boys, home, with our family;
We'H hang old glory to the top of a tree
And then, we'll all enlist."
While they dig trenches and do the rough
work of camp life, the favorite yell, at
least In the ranks of Company A, of tho
fighting 10th, the shout In college yell
style la;
"You're in tfre'armv now,
You're not behind the plotoi
you're n the ditch,
You'll pever get rich,
'Cavte you're'in the army now."
The Mexcat) song which blngs the most
enthusiasm Is:
