intended for her. The gift. consists
Of beautiful Gobelin representing

Invitations Limited.
Washington, Feb. 1O.-President
Roosevelt authorized the following
statement, which was given out at the
White House Friday: ''The president
and Mrs. Roosevelt ask the kind con-
sideration of many friends who would
under ordinary circumstances receive
invitations to Miss Roosevelt's we'd
ding. The capacity of the White
House require that under existing cir
cumstances invitations be limited to
the closest kinsfolk, the personal
friends of Miss Roosevelt and Mr..
Longworth and certain classes of Off
Gals in Washington. No friends of
the president or Mrs. Roosevelt are be-
ing asked unless they come within one
of these classes; and even with these
limitations the number of guests
threatens to overtax the capacity Of
the White House," ~ .--
