 trimmed in brown chiffon, embroider- cd in blue and gold. The yoke of the bodice was formed of embroidered chiffon, as were the trimmings of the elbow sleeves. The skirt, exquisitely designed, was panneled in blue and gold embroidery. She wore long white undressed kid gloves and ornaments of diamonds.
 THE BRIDEGROOM CONFETTI.
 Following her almost immediately came the bridegroom, the Hon. Nicho- las Longworth, accompanied by his best man, Mir. Thomas Nelson Per kins, of Boston, one of the members of the corporation of Harvard college and a classmate at college of MT. LongwOrth. They descended the main staircase and entered the East Room under the escort of the military aides. The groom and his best man took their places at the foot of the em- powered platform to await the coming of the bride. Already Bishop Satter- lee had taken his place on the plat form attired in the purple and ivory robes of ais clerical office.
 Scarcely had the bridegroom enter ed the East Room when the doors of the state dining room at the west en- trance of the main corridor were flung open and the bridal procession start ed for the eXtemporized altar. The president and Miss Roosevelt had de- scended from the upper apartments oe the White House by the elevator. They mad passed into the private dining room and thence into the state dining room. There they were joined by the ushers-Qincy A. Shaw. Of Boston; Frederick Winthrop, of New York; Francis R. Bangs. of Boston: Guy Norman, of Boston; B. A. WaIlingford, | of Cincinnati; Larz Anderson of Washington; Vicompte Charles de Chambrun, of the French embassy. and Theodore Roosevelt. jr MT Roosevelt and MT. Shaw led the bridal procession. Following the ushers came President Roosevelt and the bride of MT. Longworth, her hand resting lightly within the right arm of her father As the procession moved through the main corridor and into the East Room the marine band orchestra rendered effectively the grand march from Wagner's Tannhauser.
 Miss Roosevelt never appeared 10 | better advantage. Perfectly self-pos- sessed and thoroughly appreciative of [ the situation, she graciously recognized and bowed to personal friends, who ' ding gown was an exquisite creation.
 It was of heavy. white brocaded satin, | point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle and sil- | yer brocade. The material from which | the gown was created was manufac-
 tured expressly for Miss Roosevelt The design, intricate and delicate in its de- | tails, was destroyed as soon as the nec- essary amount of the material for the dress was completed. The gown had a | IWn1.Wa WT-.V.U .Ur.-U silver brocade. The bodice was made
 high without collar, and was trimmed with beautiful old point lace, the ! sleeves being finished at the elbow with the same filmy material. Long white ! gloves barely met the sleeves. A vol | luminous tulle veil practically com
 pletely- enveloped the graceful figure of i the charming bride. Her hair was
 caught and held in place by clusters
 of orange blossoms. Her dainty slip pers, in perfect harmony with her gown, were fastened with silver bro cade and tulle bows caught with orr ange flowers instead of buckles. The
 bride wore no jewels, except the mag lnificent diamond necklace which was
 the gift of the groom.
 | She carried a lovely shower bouquet
 of the rarest and daintiest white or chids, which the groom was able to procure. The fragile blossoms were ar ranged in a cascade effect, falling over
 her right arm nearly to the foot of | her gown. The bouquet was tied with
 chiffon satin ribbon in long bows.
 As the ushers reached the platform
 they separated and the president and
 bride passed between the two lines
 MT. Longworth stepped forward and | received Miss Roosevelt from the arm
 of the president and together the bride
 and the bridegroom ascended the two steps of the platform. Miss Ethel Roosevelt relieved the bride of her bouquet and held it throughout the l ceremony.
 THE CEREMONY.
 As Miss Roosevelt and MT. Long
 worth faced Bishop Saterlee a hush
 fell over the assembiage. Every one of | the thousand present wished to catch i every syllable of the ceremony, which
 was to follow. In a distinct resonant
 voice the bishop began the beautiful
 marriage service of the Episcopal | church. The responses of both bride and bridegroom were audible and distinct | throughout the great apartment. Par | ticularly clear were those of the bride.
 whose voice was as natural and distinct | as in ordinary converse tion. While her | face was shade -paler than usual her
 self possession was perfect and she
 went through the ceremony without a 1 symptom of nervousness.
 1 When the venerable bishop asked the
 question prescribed in the ritual, ''Who giveth this woman to be married to | this man?" President Roosevelt as cended the platform and bowed to the distinguished prelate. Taking then his
 daughters hand he placed it in that of
 the bridegroom. Having performed this | function, the president resumed his 1 place at the right of Mrs. Roosevelt | The best man, MT. Perkins, then pro- duced from a pocket of his waistcoat
 the gold circlet with which the couple
 was welded and handed it to MT. Long
 worth. When he had placed it on the 1 fourth finger of his brides left hand,
