Joyous Mood After Wedding Ohio '. Congressman-Start Heney- l moon Trip In Auto. 4. l WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-Represent.
 ative and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
 passed Sunday very quietly at Friend
 ship, the country home of John R. Me
 Lean st Tennallytown, which they are
 making their temporary headquarters. The weather was pleasant most of the day, and the couple took stroll around the beautiful grounds surrounding the
 place. The gates of the grounds were
 closed during the day, and there were
 no callers.
 l The young couple had their first hon. |eymoon dinner on Saturday evening at
 o'clock. s.
 The table was a fairyland of bride
 roses and beautiful blossoms that the
 Longworths faced each other across,
 and yesterday morning when they sat
 down to breakfast all the flowers had
 been renewed. Luxuriant orchids
 greeted the bride when she entered the
 breakfast room.
 One interesting feature of the hon.
 eymoon trip is that the bride made the
 first stop in the home of Ned Mclean.
 Young Mclean, it is said, is one of
 four youthful millionaires who were
 put aside by Miss Roosevelt in favor
 of Representative Longworth. The
 others are Ogden Mills Reid, son of
 the ambassador; Lieutenant Robert
 Sterling Clark, whose mother became the wife of Bishop Potter, and Robert Goelet. All those young men were so devoted to the presidents daughter that they became known in official cir cles as '.the faithful four" Miss Roose- welt might have had any of them, so Washington society said.
 Today the Longworths will board the private car Republic and go to Palm Beach, Fla. Cuba, it is said, will also be visited.
 The young folk are to go to Henry M Flagler's Florida home, where forty servants will do their bidding. How long they will remain there is not known precisely, but it is understood they will take in Cincinnati and New York before returning to Washington.
 At the reception following the we'd ding on Saturday there occurred one of the most typical incidents of the day, something which probably no one but young woman as original and un- conventional as young Mrs. Longworth ever would have thought of doing. Alongside the cake was knife, and at first Mrs. Longworth thought to cut the cake with this, but the glazing ei- ther offered more resistance than she expected or the knife was dull. Any way, the cutting proceeded much too slowly for young woman of her i'm pulslve disposition, and, gayly turning to Major McCawiey, she called out, ''Ohshajor, let me have your 1wpr64o cut the cake with.'
 The major, who is too au fait to be surprised at anything, promptly drew bis sword and, gallantly taking 1t by ! the blade, extended the hilt to her. It ] happened to be a saber and admirably ! adapted to the purpose, and when Mrs. Longworth brandished it aloft and be- gan slashing the cake with 1t the slices Fell right and left, and great was the scramble among her friends for it. It melted away like snow under a hot sun, and within few minutes after the first stroke of Major McCawley's :. ,aber not crumb of it was to be had.
