THE WORLD OF SOCIETY
HAPPY MISS ROOSEVELT AND
HER WEDDING GUESTS.
A Former Washingtonian Married in
New York-Timely Per-
sonal Notes.

Miss Roosevelt's wedding gift from the
Taft party-her fellow voyagers to the
Philippines said to be an aqua marine
pendant surrounded by diamonds, and SO
made that 1t can be worn in other ways.
Current gossip on the subject of her
other presents is running to great ex-
tremes. for while. 1t is said, she has re-
ceived a considerable number of jeweled
gifts, in which the finest gems appear.
she is having the usual luck of many
other Washington brides and will have in
her collection Of table furnishings pieces
OF silver, glass and china of moderate
value. Inasmuch as no information on
these points is obtainable at the White
House, and never is with any family Of
official prominence except in rare in
stances, a corresponding retfcence on the
part of the giNers Is equally noticeable
But as the human imagination is playing
not only an important part round the
White House these days. but is actually
overworked by reason of the paucity of
the English language in the mere matter
of adjectives, the descriptions day by day
of the contents of various express pack
ages and beribboned bundles which mes
sengers delivered there must necessarily
soon simmer down.
In the meantime the object of so great
attention is passing her days In her usual
way, with Just little more of her leisure
encroached upon for final fittings by dress
makers, ETC. None of the bothersome de-
tails come to her for decision, so it is
said, because Mrs. Roosevelt wants moth
ing to dim her daughters perfect serenity
and happiness in these her last days in the
White House.
Although the House of Representatives
will not take official recognition of the
wedding of Miss Roosevelt and Representa-
tive Longworth, on Saturday. February II,
adjournment will be taken on Friday, Feb
ruary 16, until the following Monday with
out avowing the purpose. In this manner
the House will avoid establishing prece-
dent.

Morton of New York were among the late
corners at the White House reception last
night Both girls were gowned in white. A
ffllet Of green leaves around her fluffy hair
was immensely becoming a frame to Miss
