y"
members of the New York delegation,
expect to present a full set of beauti-
full glass, complet eoutft for the table,
while the Ohio delegation will present a
silver loving cup.
AS the White House is taxed in dis
posing Of the great mass Of gifts, just
what Miss Alice is to do with them, in
the house she is to occupy as Mrs.
Longworth, is difficult to decide.
The Wealth of the couple.
There is considerable misunder-
standing regarding the wealth of the
Roosevelts and of Miss a lice g fance.
President Roosevelt is well to do, but
his worldly. possessions are small com
pared to the famous financiers of the
country, nor is Mr.. Longworth as
wealthy as he has been reported to be.
He has comfortable little fortune and
an inheritance coming to him after his
mothers DEATH He is not, however,
the young American Croesus that he
has been reported to be. In point of
fact, the presents so far received by
Miss Alice already are worth much
more than the sum total of her and her
future husbands combined fortunes.
~ Queer Wedding Gifts.
No one can begin to imagine the va
riety of things that have been sent to
! the bride. They have come from all
over the country. Besides the beautiful
| presents from friends, it seems as if
! anyone who had anything to advertise
has sent it to her in the hope of getting
| it mentioned in the papers. s
'tShe has received, I am told said
Washington woman, laughingly, pat
emit medicines, new tangled washtubs,
kitchen ranges, warranted never to 60
out, everything imaginable, in fact, and
among them lots Of things she can
| never use in the house she and her hue-
band are going to occupy .--...s
| While it is understood that 1000 in
| vitations have been issued, the wedding
breakfast is ordered for only 700 peo-
pie. The wedding will take place in
the east room, which will be tastefully,
tho not deliberately, decorated with
plants. Palms in great profusion will
| be used to form bridal bower in front
Of the central windows on the east side
/ Of the room. These palms will be fes
TONED with southern smilax, and the
whole will be frightened with white
blossoms and knots of ribbon The
couple will kneel at prize dieu, the
ceremony being performed by Bishor
Satterlee and Rev. Roland Cotton
Smith.
