Tribute to Former Pastor.
In the selection of the clergyman the
personal character of the President and
his lovely daughter are clearly set forth,
and 1t is a beautiful tribute they are
paying 70 their former pastor and to
their friends.
The wedding party. composed entirely
OF the most intimate friends of Miss
Wilson and Mr.. Sayre, will form hand
some setting for the young and beauti-
full daughter of the President of the
D1Ied STATES MISS WllSOn Is SieilucI,
extremely blonde, with a fresh rose pink
complexion which lights up. as do her
deep blue eyes, with animation when
she talks. Mr.. Sayre is rather tall.
slender, and almost as blonde as his
bride-elect.
From the statement given out from
the White House today, no intimation
was made of the number of guests who
will witness this interesting ceremony,
but it is generally understood that the
number will not be as large as that
which attended the last White House
wedding when Miss Alice Roosevelt was
married to Congressman Nicholas Long
worth, of Ohio.
The Wedding Invitations.
The invitation is inclosed in two en-
velopes. 1t is engraved on the finest
heavy white paper, in script type, and
measures six inches by seven, having
the seal of the United States embossed
in white in the middle of the center top
about one inch from the edge. The in
vitation is folded across once. and con-
tains small card Of admittance, with
out which no one can enter the White
House for the wedding. The invitation
reads: The President and Mrs. Wilson

riage of their daughter, Jessie Wood
row, to Mr.. Francis Bowes Sayre. on
Tuesday, November the twenty-flfth.
nineteen hundred and thirteen, at half
after four o'clock, at the White House,
Washington, ID. G..
The style of the invitation. which is
quite the simplest form possible. is still
il: keeping with the position of the bride
socially and officially and is a fore
runner of the simple style that will
mark the entire wedding. The cards,
which are to be sent strictly official,
