With our children it's different.

There was one disappointment for
those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts were not put on display. 1t
is known that these included many
beautiful and valuable articles sent
by relatives and personal friends of
the bride and groom and of their fam
lilies and by admirers of President
Wilson. Handsome presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that of the latter being diamond la
valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter of the speaker, bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those who were invited to witness
the wedding were mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed in many heartburnings. From the
house of representatives circle, for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss
Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader IN
derwood and Mrs. Underwood, and
Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann.
AS might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police would permit
with curious persons eager to watch
the arrival and departure of the guests
and trying to obtain through the win
dows a glimpse of the doings within.
The police arrangements were admir-
able and nothing happened, in the
White House or outside, to mar the
happy occasion.
The wedding of Mr.. Sayre and Miss
Wilson was the thirteenth to be ceIe-
brated in the White House, but the
bride has always considered 10 her
lucky number instead of a hoodoo.
There have been more than twenty
weddings in which either the bride or
groom resided in the White House,
and the last wedding ceremony per-
formed there was the one which united
Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Long
worth. Today's event was much quiet
er than that one, and the guests not
nearly so numerous.

JEsslE's WEDDING CAKE.

Jessie Wilson's wedding cake
was triumph Of the pastry cooks
art. It was two and half feet
tall, counting the white orchids
that were placed on top of it, and
weighed 1856 pounds. The first
layer was four inches thick and %
inches across. The cake contained
10 ingredients and it's cost was
about $500. Over the body of the
cake was nodded a thick white
icing scroll work, ON its top was a
design for the initials of the bride
and groom, done in silver, and
around the sides were lilies of the
valley in white sugar. This deli
cious CONNECTION was distributed in
1000 dainty white boxes tied with
satin ribbon and each of the proper
size to go under the pollow of the
recipient to bring dreams.

Francis 3. sayre.


Washington, Nov. 25.-In the beau
tiful east room of the White House
at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon Jessie
Woodrow Wilson, second daughter of
the president, was made the wife of
Francis Bowes Sayre. Rev. Sylvester
Beach Of Princeton, N. j.. performed
the ceremony.
The entire affair was very simple,
as had been requested by the bride,
and the number of guests was rather
ll-distressingly so to many per-
sons In official and social circles of
Washington who had expected to re-
ceive invitations but were disappoint-
ed.
Miss Margaret Woodrow Wilson,
eldest of the three daughters, acted
as maid of honor to her sister, and
Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, the
youngest, was one of the bridesmaids.
The three other bridesmaids were
Miss Adeline Mitchell Scott OF Prince
ton, daughter of Prof William B.
Scott; Miss Marjorie Brown of Allan
ia, Pa, daughter of Mrs. Wilson's cous-
in, Col. q. T. Brown, and Miss Mary
G.. White of Baltimore, college friend
of the bride.
Or. GrenfeII lie Best Man.
Mr.. Sayre was attended by his best
man, DIR. Wilfred T.. GreRfelI, the IA
nous medical missionary to the fisher
men of the Labrador coast. The two
men have long been fast friends and
Mr.. Sayre spent two summers help
ing DR.. Grenfell with his work.
The ushers were Charles e. Hughes,
Jr., son of Justice Hughes of the Su-
preme court and a classmate of Mr..
sayre in the Harvard law school; Dr.
Gilbert Horax of Montclair. N. j., who
was a classmate at Williams college
in 1909 and now at Johns Hopkins uni
versity; Benjamin Burton OF New
York city, and DIR. Scoville Clark Of
Salem, Mass, who was Mr.. Sayres
companion In Labrador and Newfound-
land.
Wedding Gown Of Ivory Satin.
The brides gown was of satin, of
a soft ivory tint, trimmed with beau
tiful lace, both old and rare. 1t was
made in New York and the women
connoisseurs declared that 1t was a
masterpiece. The lingerie in the
trousseau is Of the most dainty mate
rial and is all hand made. The maid
of honor and bridesmaids were beauti-
fully gowned and all looked their best
Coming right in the midst of the
chrysanthemum season, this was
made chrysanthemum wedding and
that flower was used most profusely
In adjoining the White House. AS the
brides favorite color is mauve, that
was made the prevailing color in the
decorations. The east room, and IN
deed all the rooms In the presidents
mansion, were beautiful indeed.
Depart on Their Honeymoon.
After the ceremony was completed
and the couple had received the con-
gratulations of the guests, refresh
ments were served, and then Mr.. and
Mrs. Sayre departed for their honey
moon. Their plans include a visit to
the home of Miss Nevin, Mr.. Sayre's
aunt, at Windsor FORCES, near Church
town, Pa, where they first met. After
January 1 they will live In Williams
town, Mass, for Mr.. Sayre is to sever
his connection with the office OF Dis
trict Attorney Whitman In New York
and become assistant to Harry A. Gar.
Geld. president Of Williams college.

The two brothers, who were not all the
children that had been born to Adam and
Eve. were of different character. John, in
the chapter from which our golden text
was selected, points to this difference in
their character as the cause of Cain
crime. He says that the fratricide grew
out Of the fact that Gains works were
evil, and his brothers righteous" They
were typical Of the division that exists
between men today. The worship of Abel
was presented in faith and was more ac-
ceptable to God than that of Gains,
whose worship was formal. There was the
same difference between the worship Of
the brothers as that which marked the
Pharisee and the publican. who went up
to the temple to pray. The one was
hypOcrite and the other was a broken
hearted sinner. Apparently both compiled
saw the faith that was present in the
worship OF Abel and that was not in that
of Cain. He accepted the Offering of
Abel by an outward sign, possibly its
consumption by fire, which was the meth
cd used by Jehovah. We are not informed
as to how 1t was done. but. only as to the
fact that Abels was accepted and Gains
was not received with favor
The proud, prosperous elder brother, in
a spirit Of self WILL presented an Offering
that was more attractive in appearance,
but it lacked conformity to Gods word,
which latter. when religion was system
atized required a bloody sacrifice, for
without the shedding of blood there was
no remission of SIM" He did not recog-
nize his own character and condition as

whole west coast, deadly as 1t is to the
white man and unresponsive as its inhab-

mission stations manned by some Of the
noblest souls that ever went to war for
