A WHITE HOUSE BRIDE.

Married in the Mansion.

Mrs. Elizabeth A. Chandler of An
derson, Ind, is probably the only liv-
ing woman outside of members of the
presidents families, who can legiti-
mately claim the honor of being a
White House bride.
Early in 1862, when the country was
deep in preparations for war and all
was excitement, James H. Chandler
of Virginia met the lady of his heart
and after short but ardent wooing,
won her affections and the two deter
mined to be married.
The parents of both lover and sweet
heart were greatly opposed tothe mar
riage for several reasons.
But James Chandler proved himself
modern Romeo while Elizabeth
made an excellent Juliet
Despite all the obstacles put in the
way by the parents the young couple
determined to have the nuptial rites
performed, and as the only way of do
ing this seemed to be by slipping off
secretly they planned to elope.
This they did, going to Harper S
Ferry. There they got license but
no minister could be found to perform
the ceremony. Then they decided to
go on to Washington.
When we reached the capital, -
says Mrs. Chandler, Jim decided
that because the city was likely to be
| topsy turvey on account of the wal
we had better go right up and see
President Lincoln and ask his assist.

House, and after waiting an houl
were admitted to the Presidents pr

sent out in hurry. In short tim,
minister of the Baptist church ar
rived and the marriage took plac,
right there, the president giving tn,
