longtime friend. Three of Mr.. Long
worth's classmates. Theodore Roose-
welt, jr., and three others were the

The east room was decorated most
yet with extreme taste.
The predominating colors were white
and green. Huge tree ferns and grace
full palms Of the Australian and South
American varieties were used as a back
ground for the flowers. White lilies,
white lilacs, ported white azaleas and

other style so well BELTS Miss Roose-
velt's slendernsss. That was decided
among the very first details of the
wedding outfit 1t is of the empire
princess" style. The deep yoke is of
old point lace. From the. yoke falls a
thickly gathered fall of the same old
lace. The pulled sleeves are of lace,

caught up at either side of the yoke
with diamond ornaments. Sleeves are
Of elbow length formed of small puffs
and hands, and are met by long white
gloves. In the skirt the richness of the
lace suffices, without further trimming.
