| tipped fingers, the exquisite line from ear to shoulder strap, the melting ripe
 ness of her chin and throat, the tender
 pink and white of her fine skin, the
 capricious, melting tilt of her small
 head, the dainty lift of her short nose, these allurements she has inventor
 jed with a calculating and satisfied eye. She is glad to believe that there is every reason why it will soon be
 over.
 And. since the whole loaf Is notor-
 iously better than a half, here Is the engaging son of the house, also firmly
 bent upon the high emprise of matri-
 mony; handsome, with the chin, 1t may be, slightly receding; but an unexcelled leader of cotillions, surpassing polo player, clever, winning, and dressed with an effect that has long made him remarked in polite circles, which no mere money can achieve. Money, in- deed, If certain ill-natured gossip of tradesmen be true, has been an incon- siderable factor in the encompassment of this sartorial distinction. He wai:s now. eager for a first glimpse of the young woman whose charms. even by report. have already won the best de- yotion he has to give. A grievous er- TOT it is to suppose that Cupld's ar tillery is limited to bow and arrows.
 And now. instead of the rude com mercial horde that laughed loudly and ate uncouthly at the board of the Bar barian, we shall sit at table with peo- pie born to the only manner said to be worth possessing.-if we except, in- deed. the visiting tribe of Bines. who may be relied upon. however, to be- have at least unobtrusively.
 As a contrast to the progressively Western mairon from Kansas City. here Is Mistress Fidslia Oldaker on the arm Of her attentive son She would be very old but for the circum- stance that sne began early in life to he a belle. and age cannot stale such women.

Here, too, Is Rulon Shepler, the money-god, his large, round head turn. ing upon his immense shoulders with out the aid of a neck-sharp-eyed, grizzled, fifty, short of stature, and with as few illusions concerning life as the New York fnancier is apt to retain at his age.
 If we be forced to wait for another guest of note, it is hardly more than her due; for Mrs. Gwilt-Athlestan is truly parsonage, and the best people on more than one continent do not be- come unduly provoked at being made to wait for her. Those less than the very best frankly esteem it privilege. Yet the great lady is not careless of engagements, and the wait is never prolonged. Mrs. Milbrey has time to say to her sister, "Yes, we think it's going; and really. 1t will do very we'll, you know. The girl has had some nonsense in her mind for a year past none of us can tell what-but now she seems actually sensible, and she's promised to accept when the chap pro- poses" But there is time for no more gossip.
 The belated ,guest arrives, enveloped in a vast cloak, and accompanied by her two nephews, whom Percival Zines recognizes for the solemn and tacituru young men he had met in Shep.er's party at the mine.
 Mrs. Gwilt-Athlestan, albeit a dec orative personality, is constructed on the same broad and generously grace full lines as her own victoria The fair-minded observer, would accept as sufficient promise of a good third. Yet hardly could a slighter person display to advantage the famous Gwilt-Athles- tan jewels. The rope of pierced dia- monds with pigeon-blood rubies strung between them, which she wears wound over her corsage. would assuredly over weight the frail FIdelia Oldaker; the tiara of emeralds and diamonds was never meant for brow less majestic; nor would the stomacher of lustrous gray pearls and glinting diamonds ever have clssped becomingly a figure tbat was sveIte-or skinny" as the gs.at lady herself is frank enough to term all persons even remotely inclined to be svelte.

 Scene - Diplomatic, Military and
 Naval Uniforms to Vie With
 Elaborate Society Gowns.
 WASHINGTON. Feb. 1e.-The we'd ding of Miss Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth Is the absorbing topic here. The wedding is to be floral one, and the greenhouses of Washington and, in fact, of aR this section of the country have been practically stripped for the occasion. Never has there been simi- lar ceremony in this country for which so many flowers have been ordered.
 At the suggestion of Miss Roosevelt these flowers will be sent to the hospi- tals of Washington immediately after the wedding.
 Representative Longworth paid a dol lar to the District of Columbia at the city hall here and secured license permitting him to marry Miss Alice Roosevelt. Mir. Longworth gave his color as white, his place of nativity as Cincinnati, his age as thirty-slx, his occupation as lawyer and said he has never been married before. He said he intended to marry Miss Alice Lee Roosevelt, aged twenty-two, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt and Alice Lee, deceased. He>said Miss Roosevelt had never been married before either.
 The best man proposed that all toss up to see who would pay for the H. cense, but Representative Longworth said he would pay for 1t himself, and be gave the clerk a dollar bill and a cigar.
 Mir. Longworth has arranged to pair his vote in the house until March 4. which indicates that he does not expect to spend more than two weeks on the honeymoon.
 The personal gift of the emperor of Germany to Miss Roosevelt h,.s reach ed Washington. It Is novel and finely wrought bracelet of great value. There is nothing like fl in this country.
 A Ponca Indian delegation called on Presidept Roosevelt to pay their re spects to the great white father In- eidentalIy Eagle Horse. the chief of the , band of Poncas. presented to the presi- dent their gift for his future son-in- Isv. The chief added that they made a present to the groom and not to the bride because the bride already had re- ceived many presents. and they felt the groom ourht not to be ne-Iected Pres de1t Roosevelt Iauzhingly accepted the wsisteoat on behalf of Mir Long worth promising to see that he should sefit.
 Mss Roosevelt has decided to defy superstitiOa and have her photograph taken in her bridal gown before the veddine. A woman pho<osrzpher has ks<s ted thsf she nay the ths picture

 today.
 It was unique bachelor dinner that Representative Nicholas Longworth gave last night to his friends who have not yet joined the ranks of the bene- diets. It departed 50 far from the usu- al precedent that a prospective father in-law and a prospective brother-ln- law, as well as the best man at Mir. Longworth's coming wedding. were present. It established precedent for the president, too, for he is not in the habit of accepting the hospitality of his friends except in an official capaci. ty. But this was an extraordinary oc. casion, so the president, who is very fond of his future son-in-law, consent ed and was on hand at the Washing ton home of the Longworths last night. Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., was also there. Thomas Nelson Perkins, the best man; the ushers and Secretary Taft were among the diners.
 The president walked over to the dinner at the Longworth home, few blocks from the White House, and never had better time In his life. He got into a crowd of young men and found among them five graduates of his alma mater. Harvard. The dinner lasted until II o'clock and was a jolly affair. The president was as gay as the gayes.
 This evening the bachelor friends of Miss Roosevelt will entertain at din ner in honor of the couple in the Alibi club, and that will be the last enter tainment given In honor of the bride be- fore her marriage.
 The east room and the lower rooms of the White House, which ordinarily are open to visitors. are closed to the public for the remainder of the week. The east room. in which the ceremony Is to be performed. has been decorated, and the platform for the wedding par ty Is in place.
 Carriages and automobiles bearing close personal friends and relatives of the bride have been driving up to the White House throughout the day. These fortunate opes were given a peep at the wedding presents that have arrived already The collection was on view in one of the upper apartments of the White House and presented a dazzling display of jeweIry. ornaments snd bric- a-brsc.
 Mrs. Nellie Grant sartoris, who was the last presidents daughter to be mar ried In the White House. will be one of the notable guests at the Roosevelt Lonzworth wedding.
 Mrs. Ssrtoris. who has not made her home in Washington recently. is here now especially to attend the wedding.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.--The sen. ate took up the joint statehod bill and for an hour and half listened to a speech by Mir. Dick in support of the bill as reported from the committee on territories. Among the auditors in the gallery were the Ponca Indians in na- tive costume, who came to Washington with wedding present for Mir. Long worth. Mir.
