The House Decorated with Flowers.
WAsu1SGroN Feb. ls.-Mr and Mrs.
Nicholas Iongworth, the bridegroom and
bride of Yesterdays wedding at the White
House, spent a quiet day at Friendship,
,he country home Of John r. Mclean, where
they went yesterday afternoon. They are
e1nected to leave Washington tomorrow
morning at 1851 O'Clock for Southern trip,
during which they will stop at Roswell, Ga,
the girhood home of President Roosevelt's
mother, and it is said that the wedding tour
NAV he extended to visit to Cuba.
The private car Republic, which was
sent TO Washington from the West and
placed at the disposal of Mr.. and Mrs. Long
worth, was overhauled at Alexandria. Va,
Yesterday and brought up to Washington
This afternoon. The 1851 train is a regular
train of the Southern Railway and the
Republic will probably be attached to it.
When the bride and bridegroom reached
Friendship Yesterday they found that
the rambling old house had been decorated
profusely with flowers under the direction
of Mrs Mclean, who with her husband
and son is occupying their town house on
Mcpherson Square. Mr.. and Mrs. Long
worth also found that six of the Mclean
family servants had been placed at their
disposal. The newly married couple dined
alone at : o'clock. They did not leave the
house to-day except for a short walk around
the Mclean estate. At that time many
curious people we're standing or strolling
on the Tennallytown road, from which the
Mclean residence was in plain view, and
these, or most OF them, gazed through the
iron paling fence at Mr.. and Mrs. Long
worth until they reentered the house
The weather was somewhat damp and
chilly, greatly different from that of yester-
day. and Mrs. Longworth wore long
cloak Of Alice blue trimmed with Per-
sian lamb. Mr.. Longworth had on frock
coat and he also wore derby hat, which
he had presumably gathered up hastily.
Many curious people went out to the vi
cinity Of the Mclean estate this afternoon,
evidently in the hope of getting glimpse of
the newly welded couple. Friendship
Is quite a show place, and Mr.. Mclean
usually permits visitors to walk, ride or
drive through the grounds, forbidding
only automobiles to enter; but to-day the
great iron main gates were closed, while the
smaller entrance from the Tennallytown
road was guarded by a bicycle policeman.
Other policemen we're also at hand to pre-
vent the possibility OF annoyance to Mr..
and Mrs. Longworth.
Many prominent Washingtonians and
persons from out Of town who we're present
at the wedding yesterday went past Friend
ship to-day in carriages and automobiles.
or on horseback, on their way to and from
the Chevy Chase Club, just over the Dis
uct OF Columbia line in Maryland, but
none of these stopped at the Mclean place
or paid any close attention to it, Most
of the afternoon the Tennallytown road
was full OF automobiles and carriages con-
tanning people who we're evidently anxious
to zee what manner Of place it was at which
the Presidents daughter and Representa-
tive Longworth we're spending tho first part
Of their honeymoon. Some Of the vehicles
slowed down as they went by the long fence
and a few stopped to enable their occupants
to take look at the house and grounds;
but no large crowds hung around the place
at any time.
Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter, Miss
Ethel, we're the only visitors to Friend
ship to-day. They drove out there this
afternoon, carrying big bundle of Sun
day newspapers and quantity OF flowers,
which they left with servant. They
stopped only a minute and did not enter
the house or see Mr., and Mrs. Longworth.
On their return toward the city Mrs. Roose-
welt left Miss Ethel at the Cathedral School
for Girls, half a mile or SO from Friend
ship, where her daughter is pupil.
Near the Cathedral School is st. Adams
Episcopal Church, pretty little place Of
worship, situated in a grove OF trees adj
jacent to the Episcopal Cathedral OF Wash
ington, now in course OF erection. At the
morning service in st. Adams to-day the
church was crowded to the doors a con-
siderable portion of the congregation be-
ing made up of persons who evidently
believed that Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth
would be present But the bride and BRIDE
groom did not appear.
Mrs. William Sheffield Cowles, President
Roosevelt's sister and wife of Rear Admiral
Cowles Of the navy, was the hostess at an
informal tea this afternoon at her residence
