upon, ana for years she mas been
known as the most perfectly gowned
woman in Washington, both because
she has exquisite taste and because
she has plenty of means to follow her
taste in dress. Her gowns have al.
ways been chosen with rare care and
she bought much from the fashionable
costumers in Paris, where she was q
frequent visitor before the war.
Those who are in a position to know
say the bride spent several months in
the preparation of her trousseau, be-
ing aided in this important labor by
her mother, who also is q woman Of
extraordinary discernment. It was all
complete, 'tis whispered, two weeks
before the date of the wedding. Some
controversy arose as to the origin Of
the gowns and frocks and linens and
laces. There were stories to the ef-
feet that French supply houses baked
at furnishing anything through the
medium of German-American middle
men. Most Of the stories were base
less, be it said truthfully, for the
brides wedding outfit was almost en-
tirely of American origin.
Orchids Her FaVorite.
Dark green and orchid are the pre-
dominating hues in the trousseau
gowns, for orchids are the new Mrs.
Wilson's favorite flowers. There are
travelling gowns. street frocks and eve.

John rYIer,s Romance,

John TyIer's Romance.
John Tyler was twice married, the
second time while he was president.
His first wife was Letitia Christian,
who belonged to one of the old fami-
lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elected vice presi-
dent of the United States she suffered
a stroke of paralysis and a short time
after he succeeded William Henry
Harrison as president she died-in the
White House.
The second winter after her death
the president met Julia, the daughter
of a Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on one of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
he wooed as youth of twenty
would WOO, impetuously and roman
tically. 1t wasn't a great while before
they were engaged and a short time
later they were married quietly at the
Church Of the Ascension in New
York city.
Grover Cleveland did not marry un-
til fairly late in life. Then he fell in
love with Frances Folsom, the daugh-
ter of his law partner. She was a
girl whom he had known from early
childhood-there was a time when
she called him "Uncle Cleve." Mr..
Cleveland and Miss Folsom were
welded in the famous Blue room at
the White House.
For long time it was thought that
President Wilson and Mrs. Gait would
be married in the White House. Peo-
pie just supposed that Mrs. Gait would
want to go down in history as an
actual White House bride. From the
general feminine point of view it
seemed really the only thing to do.
Charming, tactful Mrs. Gait decided
long ago, however, that a woman
should be married in her own home
and not in that of her husband. She
did not believe in breaking the Amer.
ican-nay, the world-precedent in
the matter. And in this all Washing.
ton approved.

WILSON WEDDING
A FAMILY AFFAIR
Ceremony at Gait Home Marked
by Simplicity.
DETAILS ARE KEPT SECRET
Only Relatives Of President and His
Bride Are Present-Start on Honey
moon Trip to south-Try to
Avoid Crowds.

Washington, Dec. 1S.-In the pres
ence of relatives only, President Will
son and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait were
quietly and simply welded this eve
ming in the parlors of the brides un-
pretentious home at 1903 Twentieth
street. There was no fuss and feath-
ers, and official and social circles
must wait for tomorrow's newspapers
before they know how it all came
about. Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo was the lone official present and
he was there simply as Mr.. Wilson's
sOn-in-law.
Miss Bertha Boiling of this city at
tended her sister, the bride, and a
small orchestra from the Marine band
furnished the nuptial music. The bride
wore dark travelling costume and
carried a huge bouquet of orchids.
She met the bridegroom at the foot
of the broad stairway in her home
and together they went slowly to the
altar of flowers erected at the east
end of the parlors. The president
placed on her third left-hand fin
ger plain gold circlet engraved with
her initials and his own. The cere-
mony was the utmost in simplicity
and taste-in keeping with the best
American traditions.
Keep Hour Secret.
In order to avoid the crowds of curl
OyIG folk in WaShiD pton tho hour of
the wedding was kept secret until late
