sKETcHED BY ANOTHER ARTIST.
WASHINGTON, June while the orchestra
was playing one of its happiest selections
and ihD guests were gathered about the
diniae tables. the bride quietly slipped away
to her room and changed her wedding dress
for heavy gray silk travelling dress She
then returned TO the company and was soon
afterward joined by the president, who had
in the meantime changed his dress suit for
travelling costume. This was about $50
o'clock, and the president and his bride said
q hasty good bye" TO their friends and left
the house through private exit from the
red room into the south ground. A closed
carriage awaited them, and as they entered
and the horses started off shower of
rice was thrown on the carriage
and their friends waved them a
final Sgodspeed" from the rear porch 1t
was expected that the president would try
to slip away unobserved, and in order to pre-
vent this number OF ne Sspaper men sra
toned themselves near the southeast en-
trance to the grounds. with carriages con-
venient to follow the president in case he
should make his exit by that gate. This was
reported to the president, so he instructed
his driver to go out of the grounds by an
other and almost unused route and in that
way he avoided the reporters altogether. His
carriage was driven direct to the Baltimore
4 Ohio railroad station, where q special train
was in waiting to take the president and his
bride to Deer Park. They were escorted
through the station and into the car provided
forthem without attracting attention and at 8
O'Clock the train started off to its destination.
