The Trousseau.
Almost as numerous and interesting
as the wedding gifts arc the gowns
comprising Mrs. Longworth's trous-
seau. The going-away dress is of al
mond-colored cloth, with a yoke of
lace ornamented with motifs of passe-
menterie of the same hue as the dress.
The habit, close fitting with large
plaits, rests upon front of Irish
point lace, then opens on a vest
trimmed with embroidered gallon and
pompadour. The skirt is bell-shaped
with high corselet. The bottom is
incrusted with Irish lace
A dinner dress of white linen elabor-
ately covered with embroidery of
white silk is a novel and beautiful
feature of the trousseau. 1t is short,
disclosing the ankles, and decollette,
with supple pervanche transparency,
the bodice Stimulating bolero. There
are three fiounces of valenciennes on
the skirt, and the flounces of the same
lace from the sleeves. A ceinture of
wide hortensia ribbon completes the
costume.
There is a visiting costume so fetch
ing that the few feminine friends of
the bride who were favored with a
peep at it today describe it ecstatically
as a dream" This is a Directoire
dress of fushia- -colored cloth of a
vague princesse effect, the chief
beauty of which lies in it's lines. There
is an arrangement of little capes and
( revers of prune velvet embroidered in
silver. The effect of the entire dress
is heightened by the indispensable
cravatte. which is of cream-colored
chiffon trimmed with point de Venise.
There are three ball dresses. One,
a toilette of pink chiffon and mousse
line de sole, is incrusted with medal
lions of pink silk and point applique
hand-painted with pompadour motifs
and encircled with an entredeux of
valenciennes. With it goes a ceinture
of sky blue silk. In direct contrast is
a princesse gown of black tulle en-
tirely spangled with gold paillettes
and inset with garlands of roses of
Malines lace also spangled with gold.
The skirt is trimmed with founce
of Malines lace on transparency of
sunburst plated golden gauze. The
sleeves and loops at the breast are
of black chiffon velvet embroidered in
gold.
The third dress, also princesse style,
is OF, blue tulle embroidered with pail
lettes and large motifs of silver. 1t
rests upon foureau of silver cloth
that has a large ruche at the hem.
The sleeves are of English point en-
bellished with silver motifs.
The Bride.
The bride of today is the only child
of the presidents first marriage, and
was % years old this week. She was
named for her mother, Alice Lee, the
latter having been the daughter of Mr..
I and Mrs. George c. Lee of Boston, to
whom the president became engaged
during his college days at Harvard
and to whom he was married in 1888.
On the death of her mother she be-
came the charge of her aunt, Mrs.
William S. Cowles, who was then Miss
Anna Roosevelt, and to the present
day is as much the child of Mrs.
Cowles' affection as though she were
daughter instead of niece. She
has resided with her father and step
mother in later years, but even since
their coming to the White House has
spent long periods elsewhere, either
with her maternal grandmother or
with numerous relatives in New York
She was one of the party accom-
panying the secretary of war to the
Philippines, as was also Representa-
tive Longworth, their engagement be-
ing rumored several times during the
Journey.
Miss Roosevelt made her debut at a
ball given in the east room early in
January, 1902, since which date she
has enjoyed a succession of attentions
never before offered any American
girl.
Although born in New York she has
spent more than half her time in
Washington, having been here as a
small child when her father was civil
service commissioner, later when he
was assistant secretary of the navy,
and finally when she came to grace
the White House.
The bridegroom.
Nicholas Lcngworth is the only son
of the late Nicholas Longworth of
Cincinnati, one of the wealthy men Of
the Ohio metropolis a generation ago.
Hhe graduated from Harvard In the
class Of 1891 and was admitted to the
bar Of Cincinnati In, 1894. He is now
serving his second term as represents
tive from the First Ohio district.
