OF GUESTS
FIRST TO COME WAS THE HAPPY
BRIDEGROOM.

The very first arrival worthy a special
bulletin was the happy bridegroom. He was

rangements and otherwise showing the in
terest of person to whom 1t was a new
story. This early coming gave good
chance to everybody to observe his wedding
garments. He did not deviate in the Slight
est degree from the 1nodsh attire thought
the proper thing in sartorial circles for such
events. His trousers were gray, of a dark
shade. and his Prince Albert frock so gray
as to be almost black His vest was white
duck. and his four-in-hand tie pearl

made of single white flower. His gloves

other members of the cabinet the Supreme
Court and the diplomatic corps, were shown
at once to the east room, by either Com
mander Cowles, Col Bromwell, Major Nc
Cawley or others. Nearly all the parties of
relatives had small boys or girls in it, the
little folks adding a feature rarely seen at
White House functions.
Scrutiny of Cards.
The scrutiny over the admission
cards was not less severe at the

precious document handy, and the door

guished churchman crossed the threshold
messenger awaited the bishop, however,
inside and gave him the small rituals from
which he afterward read the service. The
bishop went upstairs to put on his vest

The unofficial character OF the gathering
in the east room was obvious by the fact
that no special section was reserved for
any person outside of the contracting fam
flies. The guests took position exactly as
they arrived and when the limit of the
east room was reached the overflow did the
best it could. 1t, therefore, came about

MAY ADJOURN ABOUT MAY
Opinion of the Leaders of the House
of Representatives

House leaders are of opinion that the
present session of Congress may end about
May 10. They base that belief upon the.
forward condition of public business, ana
the improbability of deadlock over any
feature of legislation now pending Not
withstanding the momentary stagnation in
proceedings over the railway rate bill. the
best judgment of leaders in both House ana
Senate is that the difficulties VIII be re.
solved in a short time.
Differences over statehood will not be al
lowed TO tie up the Congress. nor the Philip
pines tariff bill. 1t is pointed out that
members of the House must get back into
their districts early this year TO prepare for
the coming campaign for Congress and their
own denomination.
Efforts looking to early adjournment will
be pressed by the leaders In each body and

the couple stood to be married, and
the LongWorth clan to the ight.
The military and naval aids to the
President had multitudinous duties
in the east room before the en-
trance Of the bridal procession. At
this moment there seemed no va

this interesting young group, she
took her place near the left-hand
corner of the platform, inside the
white rope. The attention that

a minute or two later diverted by
the entrance of Mr.. Longworth,
accompanied by his best man, Mr..
Thomas Nelson Perkins. They
also approached from the main
stairway, and the happy bride
groom had every eye in the room
focused upon him. The bishop of
Washington, Right Rev. Henry
Yates Satterlee, in his robes Of

the center of the platform, awaited,
with him, the coming of the bride.

The Impressive Ceremony.
The President and his daughter,
she having his right arm, were met
a few steps from the platform by
Mr.. Longworth, who claimed his
bride. The couple then stepped up
on the platform and the impressive
ceremony began. At the point in
the service where the bishop asked
who giveth this woman to be
married to this man. the Presi-
dent answered by his action in
placing his daughters hand in that
of the bridegroom. The President
then stepped down from the plat
form and stood near Mrs. Roose-
velt until the service was conclud-
ed.
The congratulations of the fam
lily circle Immediately claimed the
whole attention of the couple.
A few minutes later, facing
the company, Mr.. and Mrs
Longworth received the congratu-
lations of the rest of the guests,
while the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, escorted to the blue
room by the military aids, began
their reception.
