1t was a simple ceremony. For the
president and Mrs. Wilson it was a
touching moment, as they gave away
a daughter for the second time within
year.
Around them stood their relatives
and friends-a small group-for it was
family affair. much the same kind
of home wedding one would see in any
American household, though the his.
toric interior of the White House. with
its masses OF lilies and ferns, the uni
formed aides and the presence of
members of the cabinet and the vice
president, preserved for the function
an official aspect.
The ceremony started at o'clock
sharp and lasted but fifteen minutes
Guests, relatives and close friends
of the two families were grouped in a
semi-circle. There was hush as the
clergyman entered slowly from the
main corridor and assembled the little
altar, with its predieu covered with
white satin The Marine Band struck
up the wedding march. Miss Salie
McAdoo, 10-yeaT-Old daughter of the
secretary, led the procession as a
flower girl, followed by Mrs. Frances
Bowes Sayre, sister of the bride and
matron of honor. and Miss Margaret
Wilson, eldest daughter of the presi-
dent. maid of honor. Miss Nancy
Lane, II years old, another flower girl,
daughter of Secretary Lane of the in
terror department, directly preceded
the bride, who was escorted by the
president The bridegroom, with DR..
Cary Travers Grayson. L. S n, best
man, met the bride at the altar.
The Presbyterian single ring service
was used with the customary words,
Love, honor and obey" As the pres
ident gave the bride away there was
an affectionate smile on his face. He
stepped back from the altar beside
Mrs Wilson, and as the words of the
service We're read their faces were
gravely solemn The bride and bride
groom repeated the service unfa1ter-
ingly and did not appear nervous.
They smiled happily as they led the
profession from the altar to the red
room. where they received the con-
CALCULATIONS Of the guests.
Supper was served at small tables
in the state dining room while the Ma

the blue room, and in an unsuspecting
moment Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo slipped
into a waiting automobile and motored
rapidly down Executive avenue. They

You often hear that the standard OF

Imagine, for example, that Mr.. Under

highly speculative stock the value Of

rectly-affected by the action of the
House of Representatives, and next day
which he had practically unrestricted con-

on the party's account about 80 per cent
more than he paid for that bought on his

associates; also that he invested over $780,
700 of the party's funds in railroad stock
at a time when the government was
about to intervene to settle a strike.
Our own imagining Is that Mr.. Under
woods political career would be badly
damaged; Imagine, further that the
these transactions and, by an overwhelm-
Ing party vote, found them blameless.
In the house of lords the other day the
former chief whip Of the liberal party
stood up to explain transactions on his
part fairly analogous to the above. He

tanned there was nothing about 1t which
"a fair judgment will hold to reflect In

Probably the common notion that West
