 Orchids Mrs. GaIt's Favoritc.
 An altar, which virtually will be a bank of flowers, is to be erected at the west end of the parlors of the resi- dence The bride-tobe will meet the president at the foot oi the stairway ill hall without the wedding room, and will walk with him from there to the altar front. Mrs Galt will carry a bouquet of orchids, which MT Will son found out long ago to be her ia vorite flowers. She will be attired in a travelling gown. The ring will be a plain gold circlet inscribed with the the initials of bride and groom.
 Mrs. Edith Boiling Galt has been known for a good many years as one of the most perfectly gowned women ill Washington. She is a handsome woman and always dresses in exqui- site taste. Her gowns always have been chosen with rare care and almost perfect judgment For some time Mrs. Gait has been busy in selecting her trousseau, being aided in this most important work by her mother, Mrs. Boiling, woman of excellent discern ment. Mrs Galt's rousseau already has arrived in Washington. It's selec- tion was matter of months and some controversies arose as to what might be called it's origin. There were stories to the effect that French sup ply houses resented supplying any thing through German American mid die men. Most of the stories were baseless, and it can be said that all most wholly Mrs. Galt's wedding out fit is of American origin.
 Resume White House Functions.
 Dark green and orchid are the pre- dominating hues in the gowns of the bride-to-be, for, as has been said, orchids are Mrs. Galt's favorite flow CTS. There are travelling gowns, street gowns, and evening gowns, the latter of which will be seen throughout the coming winter when the White House is to be reopened for a series of old time entertainments. The four great official receptions which were omitted last winter, will be resumed, and there will be afternoon teas and many mu- steals.
 President Wilson is the sixth presi- dent of the United States to marry a widow. Washington, Jefferson, Mad. son, Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison | married widows, in one or two cases l tie widow being the second wife of l the president John Tyler and Theo- dore Roosevelt each married the sec- ond time, but their wives had not be- fore been welded.
 It is not necessary to speak of 1 George Washington's marriage. The world knows of his courtship. engage ment and wedding. His love was "the widow Curtis" Thomas Jefferson, at l the home of friend, John Wayles, | met Martha Skelton, Wayles' widowed daughter. She was beautiful wom- and and much sought after, but Jef- ferson finally won her heart. Beautiful Dolly Madison. l It is possible that Dolly Madison, the wife of President James Madison, is, in way, better known to Ameri- cans than any other wife of presi- dent except, of course, Martha Wash ington.
 John Tyler was married twice, the second time while he was president. l His first wife was Letitia Christian, who belonged to one of the old fami- lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the 1 president nine children. Just before her husband was elected vice presi- dent of the United States Mrs. Tyler had stroke of paralysis, and short time after he succeeded William Hen- ry Harrison as president she died, the death occurring in the White House.
 The second winter after the death of Mrs. Tyler the president met Julia, the daughter of a Gardiner who lived l OIl du lSldlu III AOu6 1olduu 6Ouuu The president fell desperately in love with the young woman and soon they became engaged and were married quietly at the Church of the Ascen- sion in New York city.
 The Cleveland Marriage. Grover Cleveland did not marry un. til fairly late in life. He married Frances Folsom, the daughter of his law partner, whom he had known when she was little girl at an age when she had called him Uncle Cleve" MT. Cleveland and Miss Fol som were married in the Blue room at the White House.
 For long time it was thought that Presidept Wilson would be married in the White House. For some reason or other people took it for granted that Mrs. Gait would prefer cere- mony in the executive mansion. From the point of view of womankind 1t l convo i,, oJ1y ir a covo oro11irU thfu0 fo ho
