Presents on View.
The Wilson Sayre wedding presents
were put on view at the White House
today. All the house guests and many
friends of the family were given
look at the display 1t was a source
of deep qualification to Washington
society to have this chance. Exag-
gerated stories as to the elaborateness
of the gifts, and the extravaganza dis
played by the donors needed contra
diction. Those who saw the presents
say that the $4,000 diamond pendant
from the house of representatives was
far and away the most valuable gift
in the collection. The making pub
lie of this fact has proved a source
of deep qualification 10 the Wilson
who have resented deeply
stories which have crept into print
regarding the tremendous intrinsic
value Of Miss Wilson's wedding gift
collection. y
One of the rarest gifts sent the
de-to-be was presented by the min
lister from Peru and Nine. Pezet. 1t
is Vienna skin rug of snowy white.
The gift of Admiral and Mrs.
Dewey, a silver vase, richly engraved,
was received today. and the expected
silver service of fat ware, the gift OF
Mr. Sayre's family. was also added
to the collection.
The president and Mrs. Wilson have
given their daughter n set of exquisite
dining-room furniture.
They did not make their choice OF
their wedding gift until late today.
They had dss ermined upon the char~
acter OF their gift. but had not settled
upon its exact design.
