3 Washington, Feb. 13.-The wives of
senators are among the most .disap-.
pointed ones over not receiving invita-:
tions to the Longworth-R Roosevelt we'd
ding. No senators are known to have
been invited except Lodge, who is the
president s personal friend, and Kean,
who is related to the Roosevelts by mar
riage. There is a rumor that one or
two others are on the list, but this
rumor is not yet verified. ~
Only 200 guests were present at the
wedding of Nellie Grant to Algernon
Sartoris in 1874, in this same east room,
which on that occasion was very com
fortably filed. The number Of invita-
tions issued for Saturday s event is per

where the guests will all be put is the
problem that White House attendants
are now trying to solve. Had the SEN
ate set been invited en- bloc, the house
set could not have been omitted, and
straightway there would have been a
crush which would have exceeded that
at the formal White House receptions
and made the wedding a perfect mob.
The list of guests is already much
larger than the president and Mrs.
Roosevelt intended it should be.
