At WHITE HOUSE

ties, has had no breaks from its in
ception. Mr.. McAdoo's first wife died
about two years ago. She was Sarah
Houston Fleming Of Chattanooga,
Tennessee. OF his six children, three
sons and three daughters, the two old
est are married. They are Mrs. Chas.
Martin who lives in Arizona and F..
H. McAdoo of this city. The other
children are William G.. McAdoo, Jr,
student at Princeton, Robert McAdoo,
at school at ST. Pauls, Miss, Mona Nc
Adoo, who took part in Washington
social life for the. past year for the
first time, and Saliie McAdoo, the
little girl of the family.
Secretary McAdoo is both young
in appearance and in temperament.
He goes in for all the sports. He
rides, plays tennis, and his manner
with his sons and daughters is quite
like that of a big brother. When he
began the past winter to go out with
his daughter Miss Mona, his atten.
tions to her and to Miss Eleanor Will
son seemed just the same to the cas-
ual observer. His dancing has been
seen in many ball rooms showing pro-
ficiency in the art, and especially in
its newer forms.
When Secretary McAdoo took res
idence here last fall he selected 1903
Massachusetts Avenue. His house
hold here has consisted of his two
daughters. Until coming here Mr.. Nc
Adoo and his family spest much time
each year in his cOmmodious resi-
dence at MISREPRESENTATION,
which perchance may soon become
the scene of a honeymoon or a sum-
mer sojourn of the new cabinet cou-
pie
Handsome Gowns in Bridal Party.
Washington, May THE wedding
at the White House late this after
noon. when Miss Eleanor Randolph
Wilson, youngest daughter of the
president will be married to William
Gibbs McAdoo secretary of the treas
ury, will bring together many hand
some gowns and toilettes of the bridal
party and the limited number of
guests who are to attend, chiefly the
wives of the vice president and cab
met officers.
While it has been known for some
time that the arrangements for the
wedding were 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 trou-
blesome question has been the hour
of the ceremony, six o'clock-midway
between the usual requirements of
an afternoon or an evening gown,
and also raising the question as TO
whether hat was suitable to be
worn at a 6 o'clock wedding func-
tion.
But these details have now been
solved by the two score or more ma
irons and maids who are to witness
the marriage. Nearly all of them
will wear gowns not seen here before
this season, and taffetas in light
shades, with cream and white laces,
have been the more generally chosen
materials.
Mrs. Marshall, wife of the vice pres
ident, selected a costume of white net
and lace, made in the prevailing ruff
fled style, the skirt partly draped,
with broad embroidered founces 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 a large
lowered pattern of roses in deep
shades all over it. The draped skirt
shows a petticoat in front of embroid-
cred old rose chiffon. The chiffon is
also inserted in the softly draped
waist, but a line of nearly white and
very fine lace. edged the V-shaped
neck opening Mrs. Bryan selected one
of her small toques to wear with
this dress a becoming model in byack
tulle and jet.
Mrs Houston, wife of the secretary
of agriculture, will wear white-a
very pretty model IN lace, with
touches of jet and made-over white
The sash and girdle are OF old gold
satin.
Mrs. Lane, wife of the secretary OF
interior, has chosen from among her
new frocks, stylish but simply-made
