count for the associated press The presi-
dent and his bride will remain at the White
House for day or two after the ceremony,

purpose very well, and he will spend good
many afternoons and evenings there during
the warm months
THE BLUE PARLoR
The blue parlor, in which the wedding
ceremony will occur, was decorated by Tif-
fanny Of New York, and reopened in the win
ter Of 1882. A robins egg blue is used for
walls, furniture covering and window snad-
ings, but it looks green by gas light, which
is the light always used on state occasions
The ceiling is silvered over beautiful de-
sign, silver and crystal brackets on the
walls, having gas burners, which, as
we'll as those in the handsome
center chandeliers Of crystals are
always lighted at .ceremoniala. Although
the east room was used for Nellie Grants
wedding, the blue parlor is the room in
which the most formal and ceremonious
social events usually happen at the White
house. The wedding of John Quincy Adams
con in 1926. while his father was president,
and Of President Hayes niece, Miss Platu,
occurred in this room. The blue bed room
which the president and his wife will occupy,
is the same from which the last two brides
whose weddings occurred in the White House
descended

and it was the bed chamber occupied by
Miss Plat, President Hayes niece during
the time she spent in the White House be-
fore her wedding in the blue parlor June

not at all as it did then, having been thor
ough1y redtted for President Arthur's use
when he moved into the White House in De-
cember, 1881. Then one of the presidents
sisters gave her special attention to that
room, and had all its wood work, formerly
white, painted blue, and rede corated in a
style to harmonic. The furniture is all of
pale blue satin. There is lounge also COW
cred with that delicate color of satin. The
white marble is covered with q tandem
broidered blue la1nbrequin. The hangings
at the two large windows are of blue satin
