ALICE is A
HAPPY BRIDE
Becomes Mrs. Nicholas Long
worth in the Presence Of a
Distinguished Assemblage.

in the historic East room OF the
White House, at thirteen minutes
after twelve o'clack last Saturday,
Alice Lee Roosevelt, eldest daughter
If the President OF the United States,
and Nicholas Longworth, the repre-
sentative in Congressfrom the First
district of Ohio, were united in mar
riage.
The ceremony-one of the mostim
pressive ever performed in the exc
cutiye transformers according to
the rites of the Protestant Episco-
nal church, of which the bride is a
member. 1t was solemnized by the
RIGHT Rev. Henry Y. Satterlee,
Bishop Of Washington, and was at
tended by all the solemn state of a
Grand official function and by the de-
y%otional beauty ofa cathedral service.
AS Miss Roosevelt and Mr.. Long
worth faced Bishop S~atterlee, a hush
fell over the assemblage. Every Que
of the thousand present wished to
catch every syllable Of the ceremony
which was to follow. In distinct reso.
nant voice the bishop began the
beautiful marriage service of the
Episcopal church. The responses of
both the bride and the bridegroom
were audible distinctly throughout
the great apartment. Particularly
clear we're those of the bride, whose
voice was as natural and distinct as
in ordinary conversation. While her
face was a shade paler than usual,
her self-possession was perfect and
she went through the ceremony with
out a symptom of nervousness.
When the venerable Bishop Sat
terlee asked the question prescribed
in the ritual, "Who giveth this wo.
man to be married to this mani"
President Roosevelt assembled the
platform and bowed to the distin.
guished prelate. Taking then bis
daughters hand he placed it in that
Of the bridegroom. Having per.
formed this function, the President
resumed his place at the right Of Mrs.
Roosevelt. The best man, Mr.. Per
kins, then produced from a pocket o.
his waistcoat the gold circlet Will
which the couple was welded ant
handed it to Mr.. Longworth. Wher
he had placed it on the fourth fngeI
OF the brides left hand, the bishop
pronounced that they were man ant
wife. F."
At the conclusion of the service
which occupied less than ten minutes
Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth held an in
formal reception Of the guests at
tendant on the ceremony. Presiden
Roosevelt was the first to greet an,
to offer his best wishes to the brid,
and groom. He was followed by Mrs
Roosevelt and by the brides brother
and sister, in the order of their ages
Mrs, Longworth and the sisters 0
the bridegroom then extended thei
congratulations. They were followel
by the distinguished parsonage
present, the Austrian ambassado
and Madam Hengelmuller leading tn
diplomatic contingent as the actin
dean Of the corps.

Tender, indeed, must have been Il

1t is not every day that a daught
OF the President gets married, nor
1t every President that has a daug
ter like Alice Roosevelt. So it is n
to be wondered at that the Americ
people-and the whole world, for t
matter OF that-were interested
