in the presidents house was that of
the widow of nephew Of George
Washington, Lucy Payne. Mrs. Madi-

at the age of fifteen, in 1892, to George
Steptoe Washington, and lived during
her widowhood with the Madisons in
Washington.
Payne-Todd Wedding.
The engagement Of this sister in the
winter Of 1910 to Justice Todd Of the
supreme court, widower, many years
older than herself, the father of five
children and a resident of the then far
distant state of Kentucky, was approx
ed by her family, and Mrs. Madison
reveled in the preparations for the
fine wedding she gave the couple. 1t
was celebrated on the evening Of
March II, 1911.
The second White House wedding
took place after the war of 1912 was
ended. The bride was relative Of
Mrs. Madison by marriage, Miss Anna
Todd of Philadelphia, and the bride
groom was a member Of congress from
Virginia, John G. Jackson, a great
uncle of "Stonewall' Jackson.

Prior to Miss Wilson's wedding there
have been just twelve young women
fortunate enough to have their we'd

mansion. The last of these was Miss
Alice Roosevelt, the daughter of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, who was married to
Representative Nicholas LOngworth of
Ohio on Feb. II. 1906. Until then
there had not been a White House
wedding for nearly twenty years, the
previous nuptials being those of Miss

to President Grover Cleveland on June

Early Administrations Brideless.
In the early days of the republic,

were no weddings at the executive
mansion. Nellie Gusts, the beautiful
and charming stepdaughter of General
Washington, was too young to be mar
ried during the period that he occu-
pied the presidency. and the second
president, John Adams, was unfortu-
nate in having no young people in his
household during his incumbency.
President Jefferson's administration
was the first that began and ended in
the White House. He was a widower,
and whatever success his administra-
ton had of social character was due
to the presence of Mrs. Madison, wife
Of the secretary of state and the great

who thought they had a right to expect
more from the White House family.

Mrs. Monroe was city bred woman.

The fourth marriage celebrated in

Adams, the son and private secretary
Of President John Quincy Adams. He
was married to his cousin, Helen Jack
son of Philadelphia. Miss Jackson was
niece Of Mrs. Adams, and her broth

the president and lived in the White
