The eighth wedding to occur in the
White House was that % Miss Eliza

OF that name, to William Waller of
Virginia, the bride being but 10 years
or age on Jan. 81, 1912.
Grant artoris.
The next wedding, the ninth to &C.
cur in the White House, did not take
place until the Grant administration,
when the generals beautiful daughter,
Ellen, or Nellie, as she is better
known. became the bride of A1gernou
Sartoris. The ceremony, which was
without doubt the most brilliant func-
ton held at the White House during
her fathers tenure there, has become
recollection to which all who witt
messed it delight to revert.
1t was the first wedding to be cele-
brated in the east room and took place
on May 81. 1874. or nearly thirty
years after the Tyler wedding.
The tenth White House wedding was
n OF Miss Emily Plat. niece of
President Hayes, who was married to

Juno 2, 1885, at Z o'clock in the blue
room.
The wedding of Miss Alice Roose-
welt to the then Rep. Nicholas Long
worth or Ohio in 1905 is of too recent
Date to need more than passing men
tion. 1t was the twelfth of the series
and was by the far most brilliant
ceremony ever held in the White
House, with h single exception, per-
haps, of that of President Cleveland
and Miss Folsom. 1t took place in
the east room, where the coming nup-

by no means certain that hers will be
the only wedding ceremony to be held
there during her fathers administra-
ton. The president has two other
daughters. who vie with their sister in
charm and attractiveness, and it Is by
no means impossible that the names
of n or both Of these may vet be
added to the distinguished list Of
White House brides.
