Will Be Brilliant Wedding.
Despite the secrecy which has
maintained at the White House con-
Cerning the details of the wedding,
the guests will witness one of the
most beautifully appointed func-
tons ever given at the White House.
Flowers, music, gowns, decorations,
and arrangements have been a.
tended to in marvellous manner.
The impression that the presiden-
tiaI family will carry their prefer
ence for extreme simplicity 10 the
point of having very plain we'd
ding has proved erroneous.
Fully half the flowers have been
grown in the White House conserv-
atory and other government green
houses: the rest have been pur-
chased from norists or sent as pres
ents from friends. . number Of
members of the diplomatic corps
took the noVer sendinS method of
remembering Misc Nilson'o Ned-
ding.
The music will De elaborate. Miss
Margaret Wilson, eldest daughter of
the family, has taken this under her
especial charge. She is On accom-
plished musician.
Ceremony in East Room.
The historic east room, the scene
of the ceremony, is we'll adapted for
the purpose. II is so large that ear
lier mistresses Of the White House
thought it entirely too huge to be al
all homelike.
Mrs. Abigail Adams, wife of Presi- |
cent John Quincy of that name, a |
practical soul, utilized it to hang
out the family wash and lamented
that it was 80 cold in that great
barn" that the Adams. family linen
was slow in drying.
Later first ladies" have greatly |
appreciated the picturesque possi-
bilitles of the apartment and it is |
annually used for the four "state |
receptions" given each winter in
honor of the diplomatic corps, the
the army and navy, and |
the two houses of Congress.
Await Cutting Of Brides Cake.
The brides cake, toothsome |
dainty, prepared by New York |
confectioner, will be cut by the
bride in the private dining room.
ls1lnger guests are eagerly look
ing fGsWard to its significant and
slices. Gossip in the
younger ses.also indicates that there
will be the. usual good natured
scramble for tin bridal bouquet.
Many of the arfa2gements for the
recall the Sct that the
Wilson's are of Southeea origin, al
though long since transp.anted to
the North.
The gowns Of the bridesmaids are
Of white crepe. Tunics of pink,
shading from faintest shell to al
deep old rose, will finish these
''Frenchy' creations.
Those of Miss Adelaide Scott and
Miss Marjorie Brown will be pale
pink, while the frocks of Miss Mary
White and Miss Eleanor Randolph
