were used exclusively as decoration
upon the mantel, which stands seven
/ feet high, and upon the side tables, but
each of the round tables where the
guests were seated for supper bore u
/ basket OF pink roses.
The Red Corridor, into which all the
state drawing rooms open, the Green
Room and the East Room were deco
rated with great branches Of Towering
dogwood fresh from the woods about
Washington. There were several
baskets Of roses in the Green Room,
one Of yellow roses and one of pink,
while everywhere were the baskets and
vases of flowers sent by friends, as we'll
as many huge floral pieces sent b.
diplomats and by New York friends of
Mr.. McAdoo.
The guests, numbering nearly a hum
dred, entered the White House by the
east entrance, several hundred curious
sightseers greeting them as they drove
through the gateway.
Mrs. Wilson descended the state
stairway some moments before the ap-
proach OF the bridal party was an
rounced by the strains of the wedding
march. She was accompanied by the
group of girls who form the house
/ party and by Mr.. and Mrs. John A.
Wilson. Professor Arson. her brother.
/ and q few others. They passed into
| the Blue Room through the Green
/ Room and took their places. The other
| invited guests entered by way of the
| Red Room.
The state stairway. given over to such
formal professions as that of the Presi-
dent and the members OF his Cabinet
/ and their wives on their march to the
| Blue Room for state ceremonies. never
| held more charming procession nor
one with more OF the breath of May
about IL than that which wound down
| the broad steps tonight just at 6
o'clock by the Colonial tinepiece I'm the
Red Corridor, which has marked off time
| for Presidents for years past.
Miss Sallie McAdoo. the twelve year
old daughter OF the bridegroom. fittingly
and SUCCESSFULLY, led the wedding party
down the steps and into the Blue Room.
She is dainty and pretty and wore a
childish frock of white batiste. ex-
quisitely hand embroidered, with a
white ribbon sash. She wore a Leghorn
hat trimmed with a wreath OF flowers
and with long blue ribbon streamers
| hanging down behind. on her arm she
carried hat-shaped basket filled with
flowers, which she scattered in the path
OF the wedding party, so that they gave
forth all their sweetness when crushed
by the feet of the bride and her at
tendants. Little Miss McAdoo is the
youngest of the six children OF the
/ bridegroom. and as she entered the Blue
| Room she smiled into the face of her
bridegroom father.
Closely following the flower girl came
the brides sisters, Mrs. Francis Bowes
Sayre as matron of honor and Miss
Margaret Wilson as maid of honor.
Mrs. sayre wore a gown OF salmon
pink tulle. the bodice OF the same ma

edged with narrow ruffies. The tunic was
quite bouffant. with tucks over the hips
