was that the wedding would occur In
New York tomorrow, following the
precedent set by President Tyler. The
public was not taken into his conf
dence when President Tyler married
Judia Gardiner, of New York. When
he left the White House FOR New York
there was not the slightest intimation
that the wedding would occur for sew
eral weeks. ana when he led his bride
20 the altar in the Church Of the Ascen-
sion the whole country was surprised.
Guessing at Wedding Date.
Another report merely changed tie
date from late 10 early De mber. Ac-
cording TO this, the marriage would oc-
cur only few days before the opening
of Congress. or just after it had met.
More thoughtful members OF official so
ciety believe the wedding will occur In
Mrs. Cats home here in month. By
that time the Secretary of the Treasury
and Mrs. McAdoo viii have returned
from their three weeks visit to the
Pacific Coast, for which they will leave
on Tuesday, and other members Of the
Presidents family will be here.
Il is thought date in early Deem
Der would be inconvenient, as Con-
gress will meet on December and
will quickly take up measures IN which
the President is deeply interested. 1t
is argued that TO put the date about
Christmas. or just before Congress
leaves for its holiday vacation. would
be giving the President only a short
time for his honeymoon before the Off
cial season opens. II is presumed that
the President will hold the usual New
Years reception.
More than six thousand great white
and gold chrysanthemums are being
guarded and pushed to quick blossom
in the White House gardens for some
mysterious purpose. They might be
used as decorations for the dinner
which the President annually gives in
honor Of the Cabinet, and which gen
orally falls in December, or they would
make an equally fitting wedding decor
alton. Chrysanthemum were used 10
decorate the White Aouse drawing
rooms when Miss Jessie Wilson Wa
married to Francis Bowes Sayre two
years ago.
The Entertainment to be given by
Colonel House in New York tomorrow
is tho first Of many which are planned
for the President and his fiancee. Their
close friends have already arranged
several dinners.
The coming wedding will delay the
women OF the Cabinet In making their
social plans for the winter, as they
never make them without first submit
ting them 10 the first lady OF the
land"
II is not believed that the new mis-
tress of the White House will make
anv greater changes in the social ar
rangements than 70 give all entertain
ments there local rather than ma
tional air.
Fond Of Church Work.
Mrs. Gait has for years been closely
Identified with local charities and -
fond of the work in her church. For
some time she was chairman Of the
Rector's Aid Society OF st. Thomas's
Episcopal Church. an Office now filled
By Mrs. Joseph f. Thropp. She some
times attends st. Margarets Church, in
Connecticut Avenue. Last sunday
riobt the President met her there after
Tho service and accompanied her home.
The spirit OF old Powhatan. who
ruled the birthplaces OF the Presiden
and his bride-to-be in the days OF Cap
tain John Smith. will smile proudly If
II knows anything about what IS hap
nening when Mrs. Gait takes her place
IN The white House. for she is a direc,
descendant Of Powhatan, through hii
daughter Pocahontas, and John Ro!ph;;
There are many descendants #
Rolph and the Indian princess amons
the old families Of Virginia. JOIN
Randolph being one Of those who
traced his ancestry back 10 that eou.
ple, whose marriage followed the hr,t
romance in the New World OF when
