year 1906 show that instead Of a Catho-

Whelan took charge Of the See Of Rich

ten times that number. The increase is
due mainly 90 the converts for there has

Wealth OF Wedding Gifts.
Few brides, not of so-called royal
birth, ever have been the recipients of
so many and such valuable gifts as
were received by Miss Roosevelt. For
weeks these tributes of love and affec-
tion have been pouring into the White
House.. The bride and the members
of her family were almost over
whelmed by the number and character
Of the presents. 1t was not that they
were SO valuable, intrinsically, al
though in the aggregate they repre-
sent a great sum, but 1t was the spirit
which animated the givers which ap-
peaIed strongly to Miss Roosevelt.
Many of the presents were accom-
panied by oral or written expressions
OF the deep and sincere regard in
which the bride Is held by persons OF
all classes, not only in her own coun-
try but throughout the world. Some
of the gifts were costly, but some of
them that were SO evidently sent with
the idea of obtaining an invitation to

perfect confidence In the accuracy of
the statement that while many of the
presents received by the bride are
very valuable, some of them being
particularly so by reason of the cir
cumstances surrounding thfm, the
value of the gifts has been greatly
exaggerated.

Ahich ever graced the executive man

mony-the simple, beautiful and I'M
pressive ring service of the Protestant
Episcopal church-was performed by
the venerable Right Rev. Henry Y.
Satterlee, bishop of Washington.

the two lines and presented his daugh-

stepped forward to receive her. To.
gether they ascanded the platform,
where Bishop Satterlee, in the impos-
ing robes of his office, already was
standing. In low, yet resonant tones,
Bishop Satterlee began. At the con-
clusion of the responses from the
bride and groom the venerable bishop
inquired in tone that filled the great
room:
who giveth this woman to be mar
ried to this man."
The president of the United States
ascended the platform and taking his
daughters right hand placed 1t In that
OF the bridegroom. Thus he gave the
bride away to the man of her choice
