HE marriage of Miss Margaret Preston Draper, daugh- 
tér of late General William F. Draper, to Prince 
Andrea Boncompagni of Rome, took place at noon Wed- 
nesday in the Draper residence in Farragut square, Wash- 
ington. Cardinal Gibbons performed the ceremony which 
was followed by a low nuptial mass celebrated by Mer. 
William T. Russell, pastor of St. Patrick’s Roman Cath- 
olic church. In accordance with the special privileges 
granted to the family of the Prince, which has given to 
the Roman Catholic Church two Popes, Gregorys XIII 
and XV, and many other distinguished ecclesiastics, they 
may have mass celebrated in any private house in what- 
ever country they may happen to be. Cardinal Gibbons 
has been a lifelong friend of the family of the prince and 
a close friend of General and Mrs. Draper for many 
years. “The bridal gown was of soft ivory satin, veiled 
with rare old rose point lace which was made for and 
originally worn by Queen Isabella of Spain. The front 
of the bodice was ablaze with the superb butterfly of 
diamonds given to the bride by her mother. The only 
other ornament the bride wore was a string of perfectly 
matched pearls.

FQUAL SUFFRAGE LETTER 
Although the Suffragists seem 
comparatively quiet in this region at 
present, since there is no “campaign” 
on this year, yet they are really very 
active throughout the country, and it 
is in many ways a particularly inter- 
esting year for the Suffrage cause. 
The recent National Convention at 
Atlantic City was one of the most 
notable conventions in the history of 
American Woman Suffrage, for it 
was not only the largest one, but it 
was addressed by the President of the 
United States in person. Mr. Wilson, 
who was accompanied by Mrs. Wil- 
son, was extremely sympathetic and 
encouraging. The convention voted 
to continue the national policy of 
working both for a federal Suffrage 
amendment and for Suffrage in the 
separate states. To work for both at 
once is perfectly consistent and prac- 
tical, but the interest in a federal 
amendment is growing steadily. Wo- 
men are playing a very active part in 
the Presidential campaign this fall. 
Some Suffragists have joined the 
Hughes League and some the Wilson 
League, and the same is true of the 
Antis. The latter are so active in 
party politics this year that they are 
defeating their own favorite argu- 
ments of non-partisanship and “keep- 
ing women out of politics.’ Does 
this mean that they have been insin- 
cere, or that they are “coming over?” 
But the great majority of Suffragists 
remain non-partisan. 
As to local news, I am asked to 
announce that the second ‘Federal 
Arrendment Day” will be Monday 
next, Oct. 30, and will be observed in 
Boston by a public meeting in Ford 
hall in the evening. The chief speaker 
will be Mrs. Nellie McClung, the 
famous Canadian Suffragist, who will 
tell how and why the women of three 
great provinces in Canada have re- 
cently won the vote. Several local 
politicians will be the other speakers. 
I must also remind all Suffragists 
and their friends that the great Suf- 
frage Bazaar and Festival will take 
place at the Copley-Plaza hotel, Bos- 
ton, on Nov. 14 and 15. The league 
of this Shore will again be well repre- 
sented, Mrs. Henry E; Russel will 
again have the flower table, while a 
novelty will be the-gift table, in charge 
of Mrs. Shaw’s Equal Franchise com- 
mittee. The decorations will be a 
feature, as usual, and the whole thing 
will be on a larger scale than ever be- 
fore, with many special attractions 
and novelties. - Contributions for any 
of the tables will be gratefully re- 
ceived. The whole bazaar is in 
charge of the Ways and Means com- 
mittee, Mrs. B. F. Pitman, chairman 
(Care of the Mass. .W. Suffrage 
Ass’n., 585 Boylston st.).. Special 
contributions for the Gift Table 
should be sent to Mrs. R. G. Shaw, 
151 Commonwealth ave. 
Whichever candidate wins the 
Presidential election, the Suffs will be 
able to celebrate!
