Lean at Tennallytown, which they are
making their temporary headquarters.
The weather was pleasant most of the
day, and the couple took a stroll around
the beautiful GROUNDS surrounding the
place. The gates pf the grounds were
closed during the Hay, and there We're
no callers.
The young couple had their first hon
eymoon dinner ON Saturday evening at
Z O'Clock.
The table was Il fairyland of bride
roses and beautiful blossoms that the
Longworths faced each other across,
and yesterday morning when they sat
down to breakfast all the flowers had
been renewed. LuXuriant orchids
greeted the bride when she entered the
breakfast room.
One interesting feature of the hon
eymoon trip is that the bride made the
first stop in the home of Ned Mclean.
Young Mclean, it is said, is one of
four youthful millionaires who were
put aside by Miss Roosevelt in favor

To-day the ~LOngworths will board the
private ear Republic and go to Palm
Beach, Fla. Cuba, it is said, will also
be visited.
The young folk are to so to Henry
NJ. Flagler's Florida home, where forty
servants will do their bidding. How
long they will remain there is not
known precisely, but it is understood
they will take in Cincinnati and New
York before returning to Washington.
At the reception following the we'd
ding on Saturday there occurred one
of the most typical incidents of the
day, something which probably no one
but q young woman as original and I'M
conventional as young Mrs. Longworth
ever would have thought of doing.
Alongside the cake was Il knife, and at
first Mrs. Longworth thought to cut
the cake with this. but the glazing Ell
ther offered more resistance than she
Hected or the knife was dull. Any
cutting proceeded much too
a young of her i'm
disposition, and, gayly turning
~br McCawley, she called out,
'tOh, major, let me have your sword to
cut the cake with"
The major, who is too au fait to be
surprised at anything, promptly drew
his sword and, CALAMITY taking it by
the blade, extended the hilt to her. 1t
happened to be a saber and admirably
adapted to the purpose, and when Mrs.
Longworth brandished it aloft and be-
gan slashing the cake with it the slices
fell right and left, and great was the
scramble among her friends for it. 1t
melted away like snow under a hot
SUM-, and within Il few minutes after
the first stroke of Major McCawley's
saber not a crumb of it was to be had.
Nj. and Mrs. Longworth and their
friends had n hit of the wedding break
fast. and hen Mrs. Longworth, turning
TO Lieutenant L. s. Grant, U. S. A..
who attended the young married couple
as an aid from the time they left the
altar. asked, Have there been any
cablegrams?'
Had there been any cablegrams!
Lieutenant Grant ordered them brought
in and handed them to her, and the tel
egrams. which also were brought to
her, had been copied in typewriting on
letter size paper. not II to Il page, but
in regular order, and the pages bulke1
an inch thick. There were so many
that she could not possibly have found
time TO read them al. The young bride
simply was bubbling over with joy and
good humor. She seemed full of affec-
ton for every friend who came up to
greet her and placed her hand on the
shoulder of every girl, kissed those
whom she knew more intimately, ex-
changed little condolences with some of
them and was just OF the point of tell
ing a group of friends where she was
going on her honeymoon when some
one occupying an official position in the
White House called out warningly.
ooh. Alice, don't tell everything you
know
The happy pair left the White House
by the south entrance. entered n large
automobile and were driven rapidly rs
Friendship, the country home of John
r. Mclean, on the Tenallytown road,
about six miles from Washington.
AS they entered the automobile the
couple were showered with rice by Miss
Ethel Roosevelt and the other children.
Mrs. Longworth was handed into the
car by Major McCawley. Mr.. Long
worth entered on the other side. as
sisted by his best man. The president,
Mrs. Roosevelt, Mrs. Cowles and the
other members DC the family stood on
the steps of the White House and wav-
ed them out of sight. An old shoe
