Washington, May S.-Miss Eleanor
Randolph Wilson, the youngest daugh-
ter of the President and Mrs. Wilson.
was married at six o'clock last eve
ming in the blue room of the White
House TO Secretary of the Treasury
William Gibbs McAdoo of New York,
by Rev. Sylvester w. Beach of Prince
ton, y. ].
The ceremony took place on a blue
satin covered dais erected in the
south bay window of the blue room,
and was I'VE in ten minutes. Miss
Wilson was the fourteenth White
House bride and the fourth one to be
married in the blue room.
President Wilson gave his daugh-
ter's hand in marriage. The keynote
of the ceremony a simplicity. The
only guests aside from the Vice-Pres-
ident and Mrs. Marshall, the cabinet
and their families were relatives and
intimate friends of the bride and
bridegroom.
Differs From Sisters Wedding.
The was in striking contrast
to the last White House wedding of
November 20, when Miss Jessie Will
son became the thirteenth White
House bride Of Francis Bowes Sayre,
in the presence of a distinguished as
semblage, including representatives
from the diplomatic, official and So
cial world.
Mrs. Wilson wept openly while the
brief ceremony was being read. Her
evident grief at losing her youngest
daughter distressed the presidents
wife greatly. Mrs. Wilson stepped back
out of the view of her daughter, but
as the bride repeated the marriage
vows, she turned and looked past the
bridegroom straight into the eyes of
her mother, her eyes trimming with
love and flial devotion. The eyes of
mother and daughter met and chung
and a look Of fieeting distress passed
over the brides features as she noted
the tears in her mothers eyes. I'm
mediately after the wedding ceremony
the new Mrs. McAdoo went straight
to her mothers side and clasped her
arms about her neck. They remained
in each others embrace for several
seconds. the mother only releasing her
hold in time to allow the president to
embrace his daughter.
In spite of the small list of invited
guests the wedding presents were nu-
merOuS.
Beautiful Wedding Gown.
The wedding gown worn by Miss
Wilson is made of ~ivory-white satin
and trimmed with real old point lace.
The bodice is softly draped with satin,
which crosses in front and is brought
to a point below the shoulders, front
and back. The V-shaped neck is fin
ished with folds of soft tulle. The
long mousQuetaire sleeves are made
of tulle. The real old point lace Is
gracefully draped over the right shout
der to the left side of the waist and is
fastened with a spray Of orange bios
sons; the lace then continues as a
border to the long transparent tunic
of tulle, which graduates to the side of
the skirt at the train. The sweeping
train is three and a half yards in
length.
1t is understood that after the cere-
mony Mr.. and Mrs. McAdOo motored
to College Park, where they boarded
the private car philadelphia" at
tached to the $40 b. & O. train from
Washington to New York. The couple,
it is understood, are either going to
Hudson or have de-
cided to take the short honeymoon
trip to Europe which they had origin
ally Manned.
