Brilliant Wedding.
The Marriage in the w hite
House Saturday of the
Presidents Daughter and
the Hon. Nicholas Long
worth, of Ohio.

Washington, Feb 17.-In the
beautiful white and gold East
Room OF the White House few
minutes after noon today, the
venerable Rt. Rev. Henry Y.
Satterlee, Bishop of Washington,
of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, pronounced the fateful
words which united in marriage
Alice Lee Roosevelt, eldest
daughter of the President of the
United States, and Nicholas
Longworth, the Representative
in Congress from the first district
of Ohio.
The ceremony, the simple,
beautiful and impressive ring
service Of the Episcopal Church,
was attended with all the splen-
dor of a grand official function
and with all the devotional beau
ty of a cathedral service. 1t was
witnessed by one of the most
brilliant and distinguished as.
semblages ever gathered in the
White House, by far the largest
company which ever graced the
Executive Mansion on similar
occasion.
A halo Of a hundred years of
romantic White House history
hung over the bridal couple
Miss Roosevelt was the twelfth
bride, according to accepted au-
thorities, to plight her troth
within its classic walls and the
identical spot whs.e she today
joined hands with the husband
of her choice "fOr better, for
worse" is hallowed in the mem
ory of another White House
bride, beloved "Nellie" Grant
who 80 years ago, on that same
spot became the wife of an En-,
glishman, Algernon g. F. Sarto
ris. Tender, indeed, must have
been the recollections of Mrs.
Sartoris of that day, now long
ago, for she was one OF the wit
nes5es of Miss Roosevelt's we'd
ding.
HOW THE BRIDE WAS DRESSED.
Miss Alice Roosevelt looked
lovely in her magnificent bridal
costume. The gown was cut in
Princess style, which is particu
larly becoming to the slender
and graceful figure Of the bride.
1t was of pearl white satin,
showing a design Of roses out
lined in silver thread on the
plain background The material
was specially woven in one of
the Patterson, N. j., silk mills
and the design then destroyed to
prevent duplication. The skirt
was plain and tight fitting around
the hips and waist, with no trim
ming whatever. The bodice was
tight fitting as far as the bust,
where it draped softly in cross
wise folds, the fronts fastening
in alternate tabs, showing a vest
of soft tulle, which began at the
end of the yoke. The transparent
