in handling the few hundred men,
women and children who pressed
eagerly in the streets near the Gait
home.
AS soon as the ceremony was over
and the bride had been saluted by
those present in the accustomed fash
ion, while the smiling groom received
congratulations the newly-weds sped
away in big White House automobile
to the Union station and took train
to the South for their honeymoon. If
they told anybody their destination
that person kept his secret well. 1t
is reported from family circles, how
ever, that the couple will be away I'M
till the first week in January.

years. and Mrs Boiling, of course, was

Victor, w. Va.-"Is there any
one in the world lis years old?s
inquire the citizens of this town.
Receiving no answer to their ques-
ton. they answer it themselves,
thus:
Yes, there is a man 115 years
old, and his name is John Daniel
goldman, and ne lives right here. Z
If you doubt, you can come here
and they will show you. not the
pitiful shell of man, helpless, de-
crepit and palsied. but rugged old
man at work every day.
You will be taken to the gen.
eral merchandise store of John D.
goldman & Son, and from behind
one of the counters a whiskered
and wrinkled man will ask what
he can do for you. That is John
D. goldman at the age of rs!
He is at his desk or behind the
counter every day except Sunday.
BY keeping active he keeps alive.
He fears to quit working because
he might run down. He has chill
dren. grandchildren, great-grand-
children and great-great-grandchil-

upon, and for years she has 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
frequent visitor before the war.
Those who are in 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 a woman of
extraordinary discernment. 1t was all
complete, tbs 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 eff
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
nlng gowns of amazing loneliness
which will be seen much this winter.

John Tyler'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 Mr.. Gardiner, who lived on one Of
the islands in Long Island sound.
The president fell desperately in love
he wooed as a youth of twenty
would WOO, impetuously and roman
tically. 1t wasn't 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 IN
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.
