The high corsage was cut square in
the neck and filled in with diagonal
folds of tulle. Point lace, matching
the flounces in pattern, together with
orange blossoms, ornamented the bod
ice and adorned the sleeves. The
long veil was of the thinnest tulle,
with the faint edge underlined by
hem. The bridal chaplet OF orange
flowers crossed the front of the Golf
fure, and was caught at the left side
in a cluster.
The wedding breakfast was served
in the State dining-room. The gifts
came from a great number of donors
and were valued at upward of $780,
600, great sum in those days.

Years Miss Cleveland

President Jefferson's administration
was the first that began and ended in
the White House. He was a widower,
and whatever success his adminiStra-
ton had of a social character was due
10 the presence of Mrs. Madison, wife
of the Secretary of State and the
official life.
The election of James Madison
brought this most popular of Ameri-
can women to the highest social posi-
ton in the Republic.
There were two weddings in the
White House while she was it's mis-
tress. The first wedding to occur in
the Presidents house was that of the
widow of a nephew of George Wash
ington-Lucy Payne, Mrs Madison's
younger sister, who was married at
the age of Is, in 1892, to George Step
toe Washington, and lived during her
widowhood with the Madisons in
Washington.
The second White House wedding
took place after the War of 1912 was
ended. Mrs. Madison gave her cous-
in simpler but still a large wedding.
The bride was a relative by marriage,
Miss Anna Todd of Philadelphia, and
the bridegroom was a member of Con-
gress from Virginia, John G. Jackson,
a great-uncle of Stonewall Jackson.
The third wedding was that of Miss
Monroe.
The fourth marriage celebrated in
the Presidents house was that of
John Adams, the son and private sec
rotary of President John Quincy AID
ans. He was married to his cousin,
Mary HELEN of Philadelphia.

ans, and it is recalled as one during

and the wedding service followed.
The bride wore gown of ivory sat
in, with trimmings OF India silk ar
ranged in Grecian folds over the front
of the high corsage and fastened in
the folds of satin at the side. Orange
blossoms and buds and leaves outlined
this drapery and adorned the edge Of
the skirt.
A coronet of orange blossoms fast
ened the veil, and garnitures Of the
same blossoms were artistically ar
ranged throughout the costume. Her
veil of silk tulle enveloped her and
softened the effect of the satin gown.
1t fell over the entire length of the
long court train.
Gloves reaching to the elbow CON-
pleted the costume. No jewelry save
her engagement ring was worn, and no
flowers were carried.

wedding itself.

the ninth to occur in the White
House. 1t was the first to be cele-
brated in the east room, and Miss

stated, was Miss Marie Monroe; the
second, Miss Elizabeth Tyler.
Miss Grant was Is at the time. a
handsome, happy and affectionate girl.
Both on her own account and on ac-
count of her father and his position
there was immense public interest in
the marriage. The bridegroom was
Algernon c. F. Sartoris. He was in
his twenty-second year and by birth
an Englishman.
The wedding occurred May 81, 1874.

and the bridegroom the wedding was
a very quiet affair, the guests being
limited almost exclusively TO family
friends and relations
When next the Blue room was dec

wedding was that of President. the
first to be married in the White

curzon looms in Politics.

The return of Lord Curzon to Eng
land is thought by many shrewd poll
ticians to add new element to the
political situation. 1t is said that the
ex-viceroy of India. taking advantage
OF the fact that he is an Irish peer,
will stand for parliament and so re-
turn to the arena in which his first
triumphs were won. 1t was at one
moment thought possible Lord Cur
zon would throw in his lot with Mr.
Chamberlain, but he has always been
a pronounced free trader, so it is more
probably that he will cast his great
influence on the side of Mr.. Balfour's
conservative free trade supporters.
