dinarily in use this season.
With the invitations a small card similar
to that which has accompanied all White
House Inequalities of late years will be
inclosed. Guests must remember to carry
the bit of pasteboard with them to secure

y resume of the makeup of the bridal
party will at once indicate that the per-
sonal and not the official side of the life
of the Presidents family has alone been
consulted III the selection. The prObabiti
ties are that if the wedding had taken
place in any OF the Presidents former
homes the selections would have been
the same. The bride has chosen a col
lege friend. an intimate associate at
Princeton and young cousin from At
lanta to be with her two sisters in her
bridal train. and Mr.. Sayre has been
equally loyal to his college anu law
school associations in the men selected
as ushers and for his best man, one
who represents his chosen life work.
The selection of the minister. the Pres
dents former pastor at Princeton, rounds
out the personal view of 4 ceremony OF
which the attention of the world will
lie centered on the afternoon Of Noye!n-
Der o5.
