this autumn entire .overskirts were
adorned with jet, applied in con-

We're to be simple. and in contrast with
some of the brilliant functions of the
past yet this has not affected the desire
of the limited few who had reason to
believe they would witness the event
from making early preparations for
gowns suitable to a function of this
character. One troublesome question was
the hour of the ceremony, O'CLOCK
/ midway between the usual requirements
of an afternoon or an evening gown.
and also raising the question of whether
a hat was suitable to be worn at a q
| o'clock wedding function.
But these details were solved for the
two score or more matronS and maids
who are to witness the marriage by the
bride herself, who asked them to come
without hats. Nearly all Of them will
wear gowns not seen here before this
season, and taffetas in light shades, with
cream ard white laces, have been the
more generally chosen materials.
Mrs. Marshall to Wear White.
Mrs. Marshall wife of the Vice Presi-
dent. selected a costume of white net
and lace, made in the prevailing ruffled
style. the skirt partly draped. with broad
embroidered fiounces of net and narrower
ones with lace edges. The bodice has
the lace and net in a soft kimono blouse
effect.
Mrs. Bryan, wife of the Secretary of
State will wear a very modish gown of
taupe taffeta, which has large f1owered
pattern of roses in deep shades all over
it The draped' skirt shows a petticoat
in front of embroidered old rose chiffon.
The chiffon also is inserted in the softly
draped waist, but a line of nearly white
and very fine lace edges the V-Shaped
neck opening.
Mrs. Houston. wife of the Secretary of
Agriculture. will wear white-a very pret-
ty model in lace. with touches of jet and
made over white. The sash and girdie
are of old gold satin.
Mrs. Lane. wife of the Secretary of the
Interior. has chosen from among her
new frocks stylish but simply made one
of black flowered tissue over lavender
the bodice. with ivorytinted lace around
the N-shaped opening at the neck
Mrs. Daniels, wife of the Secretary of
the Navy. has chosen a becoming dress
of pansy-colored charmeuse with over
draperies of blue chiffon, which is en-
broidered in pansies.
Mrs. Garrison wife of the Secretary of
War is to wear black and white chiffon
draped over white satin, with smart
touches achieved by French blue ribbon
holding the puff of the skirt drapery. and
| also showing on the bodice, where rhine
| stone buckles hold the soft lace frills
! around the N-shaped neck.
| Mrs. Redf1ed, wife Of the Secretary OF
| Commerce. is to wear summer silk
| costume, white with hair stripes in
mauve. 1t Is trimmed with silver lace.
Mrs. Wilson. wife Of the Secretary OF
| Labor will wear gray crepe de chine
| and Miss Agnes Hart Wilson has a blue
! satin costume with touches of orange
| velvet and lace in the trimming.
Mrs. Burleson. wife of the Postmaster
| General. will wear white dress in lace
| and net. and her young daughters will
| also he in white.

Ceremony to Be
in the Famous Blue Room

The blue room, the scene of the mar
riage ceremony today. is the official re-
ception room of the White House Its
position in the center of the south front its
graceful oval shape and it's delicate color
ing have always been greatly admired
Its appearance now is the same as when
the redecorations and changes We're made
in the entire house in 1904 for the Roose-
Welt occupancy. 1t was at that time that
the door at the southeast corner was
put in to connect the room with the
green parlor adjoining
The wall covering is blue brocaded
satin, and the furniture has backs and
cushions upholstered in blue. The later
treatment greatly simplified the appear
ance of the room from that It had re-
ceived in the general overhauling of the
mansion during the Mckinley administra-
ton.
Before President Arthur took up his
residence in the White House 1t was
freshened up in many ways, and espe-
cialIy SO on the main floor. Robins egg
blue silk was put on the blue room walls,
the furniture was recovered in the same
shade and heavy blue silk curtains at the
windows gave further token of the des-
ignation. The ceiling was most ornate.
with design in silver radiating from
the central chandelier. The appearance
OF the apartment was much admired dur
ing that period.
