SENDS DANCE.

of her usual strenuousness. In fact. In any
detail of her ordinary routine. The east
room. which is usually open to visitors,
was closed today because the coming and
going of people-very largely increased
lately--wouid seriously interfere with Its
use by the family, etc., in completing the
preparations for the wedding. The we'd
ding gifts continue to pour in. A dispatch
from Cincinnati says that Mr.. Longworth
purchased In that city from the family
jeweler a necklace of evenly matched dia-
monds in a novelty mounting, which has
been sent to the White House. Miss Roose-
welt already wears a necklace which would
answer this description. The gift of the
Taft party has been seen by many others
beside the donors and is fine gold chain
necklace with diamonds at intervals and
an aquamarfne pendant surrounded with
small diamonds.

lions, which gave a decided zest to the
