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

mother and daughter met and chung
and look of fleeting distress passed
| over the brides features as she noted
the tears in her mothers eyes. I'M

arms about her, neck. They remained
in each others embrace for several
