next White House bride would he.
Mrs. McAdoo is the only one of the

THOUSANDS OF STRANGERS
WAIT AT THE WHITE HOUSE

All day the thousands of strangers
who had been shut out Of the White
House while the preparations for the
wedding were under way, fingered about
the gates and watched for the White
House automobile to go in or out. Their
reward came when at go o'clock in the
a afternoon, not alone the bride. but her
two sisters. Mrs. Sayre and Miss Wilson,
as well. left the White House for a
short drive in the White House automo-
bile.
They were absent but a short time,
and those who were sufficiently patient
had the pleasure of seeing them return.
The bride wore a charming little satin
gown, of King blue. and blue hat pull
ed well over her dark hair. She wore a
veil so arranged as just to reach her
lips, but not cover her chin.

President To the Rescue.
As the bride turned to leave the Blue
Room on the arm Of her husband. her
long train became entangled and she was
pulled back by its weight.
The President stopped down. took the
long folds Of satin in hand and straight
ened II out just as skiIlfully as could
be and in the most natural and unassum-
ing manner. 1t was an incident Of the
wedding well worth recording.
When it came time for the bride to
don her going away gown. she did it so
skillfully that she was fully arrayed and
out of the house before any of the
guests knew she was going.
Air of Gayety Prevails.
In many ways the event was the most
interesting and notable wedding which
has ever taken place there. Flowers
music, handsome gowns, and the laughter
of children all combined to give a won-
derful air Of gayety to the affair. In
fact. never before have so many chill
dren been gathered together at a White
House wedding.
While everything was done to give
the home atmosphere and keep the de-
tails simple. there was an official air
about the wedding, because the Vice
President and Mrs Marshall, all of the
members of the Presidents executive
family. and his naval and military aids,
the latter wearing full dress uniform,
were present

One of the greatest feats in engineer

in six years.
His political prominence came with
Mr.. Wilson's campaign for President.
Mr.. McAdoo had been much interested

NOTE IN COLOR SCHEME

was arranged by Miss Margaret Wilson
The glow of the scarlet-coated musicians
in the outer corridor was in marked
contrast to the dainty Dresden effect in

and white furniture and decorations, re-
ceived the only relief in the pink and
blue tones carried out in the costumes
of the flower girls and the matron and

There was much conjecture as to what
ornaments the bride would wear with her

with glistening pendant and the CLEAN
from a diamond bracelet furnished the
feature in this line.

None of the lavish decorations which

a platform about eighteen inches high.

Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre stood for their
wedding.

stood several feathery looking palms,
which let through the daylight, and at
either side stood the great blue Sevres

the President of France during the first
administration of President Mckinley.
They stood upon low white pedestals. and
held great clusters of white Easter lilies
As further relief and a background for
them were other feathery palms. Lilies
filled the vases on the mantle and low
baskets of lilies gave the effect of a bank
of blossoms. Except for a great cluster
Of lilies and ferns at either side of the
room. and about midway the east and
west walls, there were no other decora-
tons.
Brides Taste for Lilies.
The plain white enamel. with its
satin cover before which the bride
