THE MAN FROM
GEORGIA
Legends in Rome say that Wood
row Wilson saw Ellen Axson—he al¬
ways called her Ellen—eleven times
before he asked her to marry him.
In those days there was no flashing
of an engagement ring, no prompt
announcement party, so no one knows
just when they first mutually de-1
cided that their future should be
one. Apparently they kept their be¬
trothal a secret—even from their
parents for the time being. j
Woodrow Wilson spent his week¬
ends in Rome first with his aunt, and i
then, lest he wear his welcome out,
with his cousin, Jessie Bones Brower,
wife of Colonel A. Thew H. Brower
who had a fine old. house in East j
Rome. To have a proper excuse for ,
spending so much time away from
Atlanta, Cousin Woodrow even
brought his typewriter over from his
office and did copying for Colonel
Brower.
With the insight of a happily mar--]
ried young woman Mrs. Brower
seems to have understood the attrac-;
tion Rome held for him from the ■
first and without announcing the
j fact, even to him, she became his
; ally. She seems to have made many:
' opportunities to throw the young
i people together, at church, at her i
home, and on the picnics to Silver I
Creek and Cove Springs which she j
instigated.
But Woodrow Wilson was not the
only young man who had perceived
Ellen AxsonBS charm. There were
young squires in Rome who found
good excuses to present themselves 1
at Rev. Axson’s home, where they j
frequently had occasion to scowl at
the lawyer from Atlanta. There were
two young men in Savannah who had
been Ellen’s escorts during her visits
to her Grandfather, the Rev. I. S. K.
Axson, pastor of the Independent
Presbyterian church there. One of
them, tradition tells, carried on his
suit by letter, but the other came
visiting to Rome and faced a skirm- j
ish with the future President of the j
United States. Woodrow Wilson was
too serious a young man to be des¬
cribed as dashing, but somehow he
cleared the field.
As their elders noticed the straws
which showed which way romance
was blowing, they nodded their heads
and declared conservatively that El¬
len Axson and Woodrow Wilson
would make a congenial couple, but
Ella Lou’s girl friends were not sat¬
isfied with her beau. He was hard
to make conversation with and a
shade too sedate and unbending to
mix with them. Older people said he
was a good talker, but the girls did
not find him so. They believed Ella
