terrace and passed up the main stair
case directly to the historic East Room.
Beautiful at all times, the famous room
was exquisite in IT'S classic splendor.
The floral decorations were more elab-
crate than any heretofore have been in
President Roosevelt's administration.
The Altar a Bower of
At the great center windows, directly
opposite the main entrance OF the
room. and overlooking the east terrace,
a superb floral bower had been con-
trived with exquisite and artistic taste.
A semi-circular platform, II inches
high, was constructed by the windows.
On this the ceremony took place, so
that all in the room had practically an
unobstructed view of it. The platform
was carpeted in green, OF handsome de-
sign. and over, the carpet was thrown,
with artistic carelessness, an elegant
oriental rug, designed in curious and
intricate figures. In colors, red pre-
dominated. Banked back of the plat
form and next to the windows we're
palms. selected for the beauty and
closeness of their leaves. This group
of palms was fringed at the base with
Astilbe ~Japonica. Forming a back
ground we're dracena sanderii, of green
and white, and gorgeous Easter lilies.
Above the platform there was a gar
landing of greenhouse smilax and as
paragus, with scores of beautiful bride
roses nesting in the green. The effect
of the whole was exquisitely beautiful.
The Presidents Family Enters.
A few minutes before noon Mrs.
Roosevelt, accompaniment the members
of her immediate family, descended the
main staircase, and, under the escort
of several military aides, entered the
east room by the main doors. She was
escorted to a position on the left side
of the platform reserved for the brides
family. Designated members OF the
bridegroom's family, including his
mother and sisters, already had taken
their places on the right side OF the
platform. Mrs. Roosevelt wore q
superb gown, richly designed Of heavy
c~ream-colored brocade. on which we're
figures of blue and brown interlaced
with threads Of gold. The gown was
made in princess style, with a long
train OF brocaded material. She wore
diamond ornaments.

Roosevelt, escorted by the president,de de-
scended by the elevator to the west end
of the main corridor. There awaiting
them, were the ushers selected by Mr..
Longworth. All of them are long
time personal friends and several were
the b~ridegroom's classmates at Har-
ward. They were Quincy A. Shaw, of
Boston; Frederic Winthrop, of New
York; Francis r. Bangs. of Boston:
Guy Norman, of Boston; B. A. Wal
lingford, Jr., of Cincinnati; Lars An
derson, Of Washington; Vicomte
Charles de Chambrun, of the French
embassy, and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.
Preceded by the ushers, the president
and the dainty bride, resting her hand
lightly within his left arm, proceeded
to the East Room, the orchestra rem
dering the magnificent march from
T%annhauser.
A Beautiful Bride
Miss Roosevelt never looked better.
The classic beauty of her face and
figure were accumulated by. her ex-
quisite attire and by her surround
ings. Her bridal dress was a mag
nificent creation of heavy white satin,
point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle and sill
yer brocade. The material from
which the gown was developed was
manufactured especially for Miss
Roosevelt, and the design was de-
stroyed as 500 as the necessary
amount of material for the dress was
made.
The gown had a long court train of
superb silver brocade. The bodice
was made high, without a collar, was
trimmed with rare old point lace, and
the elbow sleeves were finished with
the same filmy material. The sleeves
just met the long white gloves. A
voluminous tulle veil, almost COM
pletely enveloping the slender, grace
full figure, was held in place by dainty
clusters of orange blossoms. The
slippers we're fashioned from silver
brocade, and instead of buckles, tulle
bows were worn, with tiny clusters of
orange flowers.

ried sister. or any youthful matron Of
her acquaintance. A woman who Is an
acknowledged spinster and has passed
the border line of 40, may also act as
chaperone to q debutante. While chap
eronage is not vigorously insisted upon
in small villages and rural commune
ties, it is indispensable in the scheme
Of life Of our larger cities. Girls and
men lose nothing by having with them
when they go to dances, theaters and
other festive gatherings, the presence
and support Of an older woman, who
imposes no disagreeable restraint, but
is really a protection.
The butterfly Of fashion starts on a
round as relentless and strenuous as
the routine of a working bee in tine
business hive. 1t takes a good deal out
of her, and in a great house pains are
taken to keep her fresh and untired.
If she is up late at night, she is allowed
to sleep through the morning, and the
house bushes itself that she may not
be disturbed. Her maid arranges her
bath, takes care of her clothing and
waits on her hand and foot. She soon
learns the art of selection and chooses
her pleasures, and if she have a SEN
sible mother she Is encouraged to de-
vote a portion of time to reading, mu-
sic. her home and her younger brothers
and sisters.
Society girls are not wholly selfish.
They are to-day actively engaged in
parish and settlement work; they are
the unofficial aids of clergymen; they
assist the deaconess and the visiting
nurse and their sweet faces are seen
in homes of poverty. These girls often
reach out a helping hand to those who
are toiling all day long in shop and
factory.
After awhile, perhaps two or three
years after her debut, III princess
royal is again the central figure on a
bright occasion. This time instead of
the silver strains Of the Hungarian
band, there are deep and solemn chords
from the organ loft, where a practiced
hand is playing the wedding march.
Down the long aisle sweeps the bridal
train. All in white with a floating
veil and eyes modestly downcast, comes
the girl on the arm of her father. The
mar she has honored by her prefer
ence waits at the chancel to meet her.
The fateful words are soon said, for
richer, for poorer, for better, for worse,
till death us do part. The mystic rite
that binds true hearts for all the years
are spoken. Our society girl has taken
upon her the vows of a wife. Here she
will prove herself what an American
woman should be, efficient, capable,
trustworthy and loving. a good wife
and if children are given her, a good
mother.
This is the evolution of the butter
fly.
