Mrs. M. II. Maury. lives in Admission.
Ala. The brides family has been
prominent In fhe history Of Virginia
and she herself is a descendant of
Pochahontas. the Indian chiefs
daughter who married John Rolfe.
Since 1896 Mrs. Gait has lived in
Washington. belonging to none OF the
distinct social sets, but active In char.
ity and philanthropy In her own ways.
From her first husband she inherited
control OF prosperous mercantile
business. OF which she has been &C.
credited with now being the active
head and many tributes are paid TO
her ability. But activity In business.
her friends say. never has diminished
her interest In woman's world. She
loves flowers. books and out door rec
reations. After the presidents court
ship began she took up golf and on
many Saturday afternoons they were
seen together on the links at some OF
the country clubs about the capital.
or at other times taking long motor
drives over the Virginia hills or along
the shore roads In lower Maryland.
Often they took picnic luncheon from
the White House on their journeys
and ate II by the roadside.
In the White House circle the bride
quickly found her place. She plays
the piano. sings and loves poetry and
when In the intimacy OF the family,
the president often has read aloud his
fayorite poems. as Is his custom. she
is said to have been one OF his most
interested hearers.
Miss Margaret Wilson. the presi.
dents eldest daughter. and Miss Helen
Woodrow Bones. his cousin. are said
TO have drawn her into the White
House circle In the early autumn OF
1914. From that time she was a FIRE.
Quent guest at the executive mansion
and last summer spent month as the
guest OF Margaret wilson at the sum
mer White House at Cornish. y. II.
The engagement was announced on
Oct 6. not long after the presidential
party returned to Washington for the
winter.
Both the president and his bride
agreed not to have their wedding In
the White House. but in her home
near Dupont circle. which sometimes
lis called the social hub OF the capital
She lives there In a tastefully ar
ranged house. somewhat small by
comparison with the mansions which
surround II. II Is not large enough
for entertaining on an extended scale
and for that reason large company
vas not invited to the wedding. Mr.
McAdoo. the presidents son.ln.law
was the only member OF the cabinet
included in the party. The rest were
all relatives.
The repeatedly expressed wish o.
the couple for quiet wedding unat
tended by any great amount OF pub
licity. Is responsible for the general
lack OF common knowledge Of so man,
OF the details which attend such a Ger
emory. No public announcement
have been made Of the gifts received
and likewise there has been no an
nouncement OF the gowns and decora
tons. New York dressmakers hav'
been frequently during the last few
weeks at the white House and at thu
brides home and she has made on'
or two shopping trips out OF the cit!
