JESSiE'S WEDDING
 THIS AFTERNOON
(Continued from page 1.)

Canary diamond weighing six and one half carats is surrounded by 85 smaller diamonds arrang in pear shape and attached to a neck chain, in which many small diamonds are set.
 Five hundred factory girls in New York sent beautiful hand-embroid- cred petticoat to Miss Wilson as a token of the regard the girls have for the young White House bride, who aided them in the recent strike in New York and who has done much settlement work for the poor.
 The wedding cake weighs 135 lbs. and is two and a half feet tall, in cluding the vase of white orchids, which is placed on top. It cost $500 and contains nineteen different ingre- dients. The cake will be distributed in 2,OOO dainty we ding boxes.
 The wedding gown made in New York is, according to all bridal tra- ditions, being kept concealed until the wedding. Mrs. Wilson was pres ent at the final fitting, but no one else had even peep at this most inn portant item of the rousseau. And this, in the face of assertions that Miss Jessie Wilson has no supersti- tions and enjoys being described as the t irteenth White House bride.
 While a private view of the we'd ding gown is denied even to the clos est friends of its wearer, it is known that the model selected by Miss Will son calls for a three-yard court train the full width of the satin, with the foundation skirt in the prevailing sil- houette, that is, dose to the ankles but with slight crinkled effect at the hips The skirt is slashed at it's wearer can walk gracefully the entire length of the corridor from the State dining room to the impro- vised altar of bride roses and white crysanthemums that will extend across the large central window of the East Room. These slashes, how. ever, are completely concealed by the train The top of the gown is sur pliced draped in the satin, which is as soft as any of he French weaves, but of a purer white tone than is en- ployed by the Paris couturiers. The wedding veil will be of tulle held by the conventional orange blossoms.
 A second white gown, which the bride-elect has tried on for the bene' fit of few close friends, is of ivory tinted velvet, and has just come from Paris. This shows several new fea- lures in addition to the fabric, which is long-piled weave of the finest spun silk making the wrong side a smooth, surah.lke surface. All of this helps in the making of the gown, which fits it's wearer with the cling ing, soft lines usual to crepe or chif- fon The model is one piece when completed, but cut separately, the skirt being three yards wide at the hem, gathered at the waist line, and ending in short, broad-pointed train.
 There is no trimming or drapery about this skirt, but at the hips is folded sash of the velvet which ends in one long tab-like end, perhaps lwenty-two inches across. This falls directly down the back, and is cover ed from it's hem almost to the waist line in the new shadow embroidery of the Wort or Premet schools in gold and silver threads.
 There is very little of the velvet shown above the belt, possibly three or four inches rising irregularly over the kimono bodice, which is entirely of tn shadow embroidery or cream
