inss. Her bridal dress was a mag
nificent creation of heavy white satin.
| point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle and sill
yer brocade. The material from
which the gown vas developed was
manufactured especially for Miss
Roosevelt, and the design was de-
stroyed as soon as the necessary
made.
The gown had a long court train OF
superb silver brocade. The bodice
was made high, without a collar, was
trimmed with rare old point lace, and
the elbow sleeves were finished with
the same filmy material. The sleeves
just met the long white gloves. A
voluminous tulle veil, almost COM
pletely en~veloping the slender, grace
full figure, was held in place by dainty
clusters of orange blossoms. The
slippers were fashioned from silver
brocade, and instead of buckles, tulle
bows were worn, with tiny clusters OF
orange flowers.
Wore the BridcgrOOm's Gift.
The only jewels worn by the bride
was the superb diamond necklace,
which was the gift of the bridegroom.
Over her left arm Miss Roosevelt ar
ried a beautiful shower bouquet of the
rarest and daintiest white orchids
procurable. The delicate blossoms
we're arranged in cascade form, the
stems tied with white chiffon satin
ribbon with long bows.
The usherS, who were in couples,
separated as they reached the plat
form, and the president passed
through the two lines, and presented
his daughter to the waiting bride
groom, who stepped forward to re-
ceive her. Together they assembled
the platform, where Bishop Satterlee,
in the imposing robes of his office, al
ready was standing.
An Auspicious Moment.
1t was one of the most suspicious
moments in the history of the White
House. The guests seemed scarcely to
breathe, SO intent were they to catch
every syllable of the beautiful service.
In lew, yet resonant tones, Bishop
S~atterlee began.
At the conclusion Of the responses
by the bride and groom, the venerable
bishop inquired, in a tone that filled
the great room:
Gave the Bride Away.
"Who giveth this woman to be mar.
ried to this MANI"
The president of the United States
assembled the platform, and, taking his
daughters right hand, placed it in
that of the bridegroom. Thus ne gave
the bride away to the man of her
choice, and by the ring, which, an
instant later, the bridegroom placed
on the fourth finger of the right hand,
she became Mrs. Nicholas Longworth.
and the venerable prelate solemnly pro-
nounced them husband and wife.
