WASHINGTON. May Miss FL eanor Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter of the president, became the bride tonight of William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the treasury, in the historic Blue Room of the White House. Less than 100 people and but few officials-heard the low toned voice of Rev. Sylvester Beach, pastor of the First Presby- terian church at Princeton, where the Wilson family has worshipped for years, as he united in marriage a member of the cabinet and a daughter of the president.
 It was simple ceremony, brief and solemn. It was family affair, much the same kind of a home we'd ding one would see in any American household, although the historic in- terior of the White House. with the masses of lilies and ferns, the uni formed aides and the presence of members of the cabinet and the vice president, preserved for the function an official aspect.
 The wedding was a contrast nev- ertheless, to the wedding of last November, in that there were no uniformed diplomats, no members of court. This was the wish of the bride and groom, and except for an afternoon of gaiety among young folks busy with the anticipation that always precedes wedding day' events moved quietly and quickly. The ceremony started at 6 o'clock and lasted fifteen minutes. The re- ception was brief and the wedding | supper was followed by brief | dance. At the bride and groom left, and all the wedding guests de- | parted, while the house resumed us normal apparance-interrupted but | for few hours.
 | All cay iong there had been busy preparations. but official Washington and the society Of tie national capita had no part in the affair. Most of tht guests weie intimate frieDcs of the | family from ether cities.
