Only Two Hundred Guests.

The two hundred guests present repre- scented the most important officials of the government and members of the diplomat ic corps
 One wedding took place in the White House during the administration of Pres ident Hayes. His niece, Miss Emily Platt, in June, 1878, became the bride of General Russell Hastings, the ceremony being per- formed in the blue room.
 Grover Cleveland was the only Presi- dent of the United States married in the White House. His marriage to Miss Frances Folsom was celebrated in the blue room on the evening of June ?, 1886. The room was superbly decorated. The guests were limited to the relatives of the President and Miss Folsom. the mem bers of the cabinet and their wives and Private Secretary Lamont and Mrs. La mont.
 For twenty years. until today, no we'd ding has been celebrated in the White House and in the annals of the romance and history of the mansion, there is no record of so elaborate and beautiful a ceremony as the wedding of Alice Lee Roosevelt and Nick Longworth.

ary To- 1928, married in the blue room his cousin. Miss Mary Helen of Philadelphia It was a brilliant social function, and was made peculiarly notable by the fact that President Adams led the Virginia reel In the dance that followed the ceremony Three During Jackson's Administration
 During the administration of President Jackson, three marriages were celebrated in the White House. The first was that of Miss Della Lewis of Nashville, Tennes- see, to Alphonso Joseph Yver Pagot, sec retary of the French legation. It took place in the blue room and was witnessed by the members of the cabinet and their wives, members of the diplomatic corps and personal friends Shortly afterward Miss Mary Easton, also of Tennessee, a niece of Mrs. Jackson, was married in the blue room to Lucien B. Polk. The third marriage in the White House during the Jackson administration was that of Miss Emily Martin a relative of the Presi- dents family. who became the bride of Lewis Randolph, grandson of Thomas Jefferson
 The eighth White House wedding was that of another daughter of a President. Elizabeth the third daughter of President John Tyler was married in the blue room on January 31, 1S42, to Wm. Waller of Williamsburg, Va. It was intended that the marriage should be quiet and simple but 1t developed into a great social event. Then in order May 21 1874, the wedding of Nellie Grant took place. Up to that time, it was far and away the most bril- liant social function of any kind that ever had taken place in the White House.
 The bridegroom was Algernon c. F. Sartoris of England The ceremony oc- cured in the historic east room, the scene of today's wedding and in many respects the wedding of today and that of thirty two years ago, resemble each other closely.

WHITE HOUSE HAS
 SEEN F WEDDINGS
MadiSon'S Sister First Married
 in the Mansion
WAS PERFECT
Grover Cleveland Was the Only Presl- dent Who Was Ever Married In the White House-BuiIding
 Full of Romance.

Washington, February 17.-Fair as a May morning, was the wedding day Of Miss Roosevelt. Soft, balmy, sunshine poured down from a eloudless sky and made the day like spring time Although the guests within the east room, who witnessed the ceremony numbered in the hundreds, thousands gathered about the White House fascinated by the thought that they could be so near the scene on which the eye of the world Is eentered today
 A large curtain of green canvass fes- tooned over the outside of the bay win dow of the east room, marked for those on the outside the altar before which the bridal couple were pledging their troth. For this reason the crowds around the eastern entrance were larger than else where and packed the sidewalks running between the treasury department and the White House. The crowd which gather ed at the south gate to witness the ar rival of the diplomatic corps were keen ly disappointed to note that they did not appear in uniform. Indeed this has been a subject of discussion for some time, the more interested in the diplomatic corps insisted that it was the courteous thing to do. There is in theF corps, however, an ambassador who has always opposed the idea of uniforms except at the diplo- matic reception and rather than show to the public a marked division of senti- ment the conservative element in the corps yielded.

Many WaIk to WhIte House.

So perfect was the weather that many of the guests dismissed their carriages and walked leisurely down to the White House. The scene reminded one of an eastern morning. Along the front of the White House there were many promen- aders, who strolled along in the sun shine. everyone expressing their delight that Miss Roosevelts s supreme wish for a bright day had been granted
 A few intimate friends and relatives en- tered by the eastern door where they were received by Capt. Fitzhugh Lee, U. S. A. and Lieut.. Chauncey Shackford. U. s. N aides to the President, both In special full dress uniform.
 By half past ten the line of carriages extended from the eastern entrance to the White House past the front of La fayette square and down Seventeenth street nearly to the Corcoran Art Gal lery. So excellent were the arrangements for receiving the guests, however that all were entered quickly and the carriages were parked in the ellipse south of the White House.
 It was possible for the crowds in La- fayette park to see the guests standing in the east room and as they saw them moving toward the corridor they knew

 on the day of the Grand Prix sum of 5000, 900 francs (s1,000,0o0) was paid at the Parimutuel booths, all for the improvement of horses in France. When one reflects that this necessity of iiIl- proving the horse induces people to hasten to pay tax without compul- sion, one wonders whether 1t Is not possible to find something else ID Franse to improve.
