The death at 189 Marlboro st., Boston, Monday, of 
Mrs. Henrietta W. Porter, wife of Alexander S$. Porter, 
Jr., after a brief illness, comes as a great shock to the 
large number of relatives and friends of both families. Mrs. 
Porter was in her thirty-sixth year and was the daugh- 
ter of Mrs. Wigglesworth, and the late Dr. Edward Wig- 
glesworth. She was born at Manchester, and was edu- 
cated abroad and at Miss Porter’s school at Farmington, 
Conn. She was a member of the 1903 Sewing Circle and 
also held membership in the Chilton club. Her marriage 
to Mr. Porter took place. May 17, 1905, at the home of 
her mother, 188 Beacon street, Boston. Besides her hus- 
band, who is prominent in the real estate business, Mrs. 
Porter is survived by two children, Sally Wigglesworth 
Porter, ten years of age; and Dorothy Wigglesworth 
Porter, aged five. Until two years ago Mrs. Porter had 
always spent her summers at Manchester, where before 
her marriage her family maintained a summer home, and

A committee of Chicago men and women, with Mrs. 
Russell Tyson as chairman, is arranging for a week of 
war moving pictures to begin March 18. Several war 
charities will be the beneficiaries. 
Society is interested now in the battlefield bracelet 
fad, started to aid war charity. They are the copper 
rims of used shells of the famous French “75’s,” the 
cannon that have won many an engagement in the war, 
and will be distributed by the Union des Arts, of which 
an organization has just been formed in the country. 
Those giving $100 or more to the cause will receive a 
bracelet. Among the patronesses are noted Miss Anne 
Morgan and Mrs. E. ‘. Stotesbury. The aim of the 
Union des Arts is to contribute to the assistance and pro- 
tection of unfortunate artists—learned and literary men, 
painters, sculptors, musicians, lyric and dramatic artists, 
and those engaged in the mechanical branches of arts, 
who are destitute because of the war, and their families. 
The bracelets, made from shell rims, it is said, are much 
worn by men in Europe, usually on the forearm, so no 
one need be surprised to see stalwart bathers wearing 
them at the beaches next summer. The wrist watch came 
from abroad, and now the men’s bracelet.
