Mr.. LongSxorth's Trousseau.
A Boston tailor furnished the ward
robe for Representative Nicholas Long
worth. The outfit includes five suits,
one overcoat and two white waistcoats-
Representative Longworth became &C

him ever since. Longworth once joking
ly said to him: when am married 1
will have you make my Wedding OUT
While the suits, five in number, are
all of expensive material, they are OF
decidedly modest design and pattern In
some of the suits the designs are stripes,
but these are very narrow ana only
slightly different from color of the
goods. In all the suits that are not OF
a solid color, the checks and stripes
are not at all pronounced The vests are
of the finest linen, with duh white en-
anel- buttons in double rows, three high
and with the latest lapels extremely
wide The overcOat Is very long, reach
ing almost to the heels.
There was no necessity for Mr. Long
worth to go to Boston for measurements
this time as it was not long ago ne was
In Boston and had clothes made. At
that time, entirely new measurements
were taken and it was from these thar
the wedding clothes were cut and made.
Longworth Had His Way.
Among his associates Mr.. Long
worth was gently twitted because he
insisted that stools be not used by
himself and his bride at the ceremony
An upholsterer, in Difference to his
wishes, mounted an elaborate white
satin cushion on a long, low settee.
Upon this the pair knelt during part
of the ceremony. It is customary to
use two separate. stools. each covered
with a white pillow; but Mr.. Long
worth insisted on having a single long
settee. He was an attendant at a
wedding once where the bridegroom
miscaIculated the size of the STOOL
knelt on the edge of the pillow fell on
his knees with thump, and was
covered with confusion and bushes
'I haven't had much to say about
these wedding arrangements" he is
quoted as remarktug. LAS a general
thing the bridegroom rarely has
much to say, but I'm afraid Of these
wobbly little stools. Let me kneel on
something solid. And he did.
