Washington. May Miss Eleanor
Randolph Wilson. the youngest daugh-
ter of President and Mrs. Wilson,
was married at o'clock today in the
blue room of the white house to Sec
rotary of the Treasury William Gibbs
McAdoo of New York by the Rev.
Sylvester wv. Beach of Princeton, n. j.
The ceremony took place on a blue
satin covered das erected in the
south bay window of the blue ROOM
and was over in ten minutes. Miss
Wilson was the fourteenth white
|'house bride and the fourth one to be
married in the blue room.
President Wilson laid aside for the
moment the cares of a chief execu-
tive and became just the citizen and
father as he gave his daughters hand
in marriage. The keny-note of the
ceremony was simplicity. The only
guests aside from Vice President and
Mrs. Marshall and the cabinet mesl
bers and their families, were the rela-
tives and intimate friends of the bride
and bridegroom.
The scene was in striking contrast
to the last wedding on November 25
when Miss Jessie Wilson became the
thirteenth white house bride of Fran
els Bowie Sayre in the presence of a
distinguished assemblange, including
representatives from the diplomatic
and social world.
An "Obeys Bride.
Miss Eleanor Wilson, like her sis
ter, Mrs. Francis Sayre, was an
"obey" bride, and her voice rang out
full and clear as she pronounced to
be "the loving, faithful and obedient
wife" of Secretary McAdoo. The Rev.
had at the Wilson-Sayre nuptials,
which is a modified form of'the Epis-
copal marriage service. 1t was a
double-ring ceremony.
Interested spectators were Miss
Mona McAdoo, Miss Sallie McAdoo,
Francis McAdoo, John McAdoo and
William Gibbs McAdoo, Jr., children
of the bridegroom. The Oldest daugh-
ter of Secretary McAdoo, Mrs. Charles
Martin, was detained in Arizona by
| illness.
AS the minister pronounced the
couple man and wife. President and
Mrs. Wilson stepped forward and
kissed the bride. After general con-
gratulations among the bridal party,
Mr.. and Mrs. McAdoo took up their
station in the red room for an infor-
NAL reception. After the greetings
by the guests, the bridal supper was
enjoyed in the state dining room.
Later the bride and bridegroom escap-
ed from their friends and left Wash
ington for a short bridal trip with
their destination carefully guarded
secret.
Gown q Rich One.
The gown worn by the bride Is a
superb creation of ivory satin, adorn-
ed with many yards of Empress Eu-
genie lace of soft and elegant design.
The gown has a sweeping train, sew
eral. yards in length. The satin which
softly drapes the bodice is drawn into
boint below the shoulders, leaving
V-shaped opening, both back and
front.
Soft folds of tulle finish this open
ing and there is a tunic of tulle made
on the new, long lines, and the
sleeves, which are long, are made OF
tulle mousquetaaired.
The lace is applied with exquisite
grace. 1t is draped over the right
shoulder and crosses the bodice IN a
swooping line to the left side OF the
waist, where it is caught with spray
of orange blossoms. Below the waist
line it falls as a border to the tulle
| tunic.
A novel feature of the lovely cos
tune was the bridal wreath OF or
ange blossoms in cap effect, from
which the long tulle veil will be
draped.
Practically the sole ornament worn
by the bride was necklace OF dla-
monds, gift of the bridegroom.
| The bride carried large shower
bouquet of lilies of the valley, white
orchids and fern fronds.
