A waiting automobile took the

They came here to begin their mar
ried life in the quiet seclusion of the
mountains of the state in which both
of them were born.
They were followed here by con-
gratulations from almost every part
of the world. Messages of good
wishes came from rulers of nations
in Europe, Presidents of South and
Central American countries, COVER
nors of states, diplomats, members
of the senate and house and justices
of the supreme court and from scores
of personal friends and relatives.

bride enthusiastically. When the
crowd began applauding at the sta

and the order is being enforced by
the usual group Of White House
