ina Wedding Cards.

A Washington special says: Miss
Alice Roosevelt will probably receive
greater number and more varied Sc
lection of wedding presents than any
other bride in the history of this coun-
try if not of the world. Estimates
place the number of presents at 1000,
aggregating $1,OOO,OO0 IN value.
Many of the gifts are those to be by
various cities of this country and gifts
of foreign countries are already
known, but there is no one who will
venture a guess as to the number of
barrels of potatoes, turnips, pumpkins
and other eatables that will ultimate
lily be contributed to the brides lar
der. Even at this early date a clerk
is being kept busy receipting for con-
signments of vegetables and fruit.
Many packages come from as far west
as California and as far south as Flor
ida. Innumerable cases of choice wine
have been received from vineyards
from the north and from California
and these merely give an inkling Of
what are to come.
The articles are being piled up in a
room set aside for the purpose. The
room is already nearly filed and what
/, disposition is to be made of substan-
tial gifts that are expected is not
known.

: order to avoid being found out.
{ The original number of invitations
: to be struck off for the wedding of
Miss Roosevelt and Congressman
f Longworth was 1900. The number has
. grown in small additions to 400, this
5 number including, of course, invita-
