those who attended the wedding, for
the gifts were not put on display. 1t
is known that these included many
beautiful and valuable articles sent
by relatives and personal friends of
the bride and groom and of their fam
lilies and by admirers of President
Wilson. Handsome presents were
sent by both the senate and the house,
that of the latter being a diamond la
valliere which Miss Genevieve Clark,
daughter Of the speaker. bought for
the representatives in New York.
Guests Limited to 400.
Those who were invited to witness
the wedding we're mostly personal
friends and the number was kept down
close to four hundred. The list was
pared and revised several times, and
as has been said, the operation result
ed in many heartburnings. From the
house Of representatives circle, for
instance, the only guests were Speaker
Champ Clark, Mrs. Clark and Miss
Genevieve Clark, Marjory Leader I'm

Minority Leader Mann and Mrs. Mann.
AS might be expected, the streets
outside the White House were as
crowded as the police would permit

Christmas cheer symposium on the
man of 50'' to refute the notion that
that age spells inferiority or decline

assert that as rule one does his best
work between the ages of 40 and CO.
Is not this labor comparable to the
breaking Of an open dour2 He who
asserts that a man of 80 is old or
useless is hardly worth converting.
he cannot know anything of histor,
or biography, and his powers of obser
walton cannot be great

They have learned to know and to
govern themselves; they have valuable
experience, moderation, habits Of
sustained work They have lost the
confidence, enterprise and brilliaucy
of their youth, but they have gained
qualities which, from the view point
of the worlds work and progress,
fully offset the losses. Even the
misquoted and misunderstood Osler
never denied the great usefulness of
the work of men of 60 and over. All
that be ever said was that inventions,
daring flights, new theories and
speculations are apt to be the con-
tributlons Of men under 40. He
never claimed that we can live by
hypothesis and speculation alone. and
that discipline, stesdiness of purpose
