TIE WHITNEY-HAY WEDDING
A Dinner Dance at the Westinp-

P. E R s 0 N Al N OF E S


This afternoon begins the active program
that is to characterize the closing of this
short but busy season. ANY number of
large and small teas and dinners are slated
for this afternoon and evening, with the
fancy dress ball for the little people at Mrs.
Richardson Clovers, to which company of
older friends of the hostess are also hidden
| In the capacity of entertainers or merely
as lookers-on. Major and Mrs. Tucker are
giving tea today for their younger ac-
quaintances to meet their guests, Miss Will
son and Miss Wilder. Tonight the weekly
cabinet dinner is at Secretary Hitchcock's.
when the President and Mrs. Roosevelt will
be entertained. -
Both official and personal interest centers
| in the marriage Thursday of Miss Helen
Hay and Mr.. Payne Whitney, for which
event a number of New York and other
out-of-town relatives and friends will be
here. The Church of the Covenant will he
deliberately decorated, the arches festooned
with trailing vines and Easter lilies and
the platform banked with palms and folia ge
plants as background for a hedge of lilies
At the wedding breakfast, as already
stated, the guests are limited to the rela-
tives and personal friends from other
cities.
The President and Mrs. Roosevelt and
Miss Roosevelt will attend both, the cere-
mony and the breakfast. The utmost sim
plicity consistent with the prominence of
all concerned has been followed in the ar
rangements. because of the deep mourning
which the family of the bride are obsery-
ing. Inasmuch as so few of the friends of
the family will be at the house those who
will see the wedding gifts are not MANY,
The collection of presents is extraordinarily
valuable which is not surprising consider
ing the extreme personal popularity of the
bride and the regard in which she is held
by so many here and elsewhere.
