Tender, indeed, must have been the recollections of Mrs. Sartoris of that day, now long ago, for she was one of the witnesses of .Miss Koosevelt's weddin place by dainty clusters of orane-e blossoms. The slippers were fashion ed from silver brocade and, instead of buckles, tulle bows were worn with I (v An Imposing Function. It had been the desire not only of Miss Roosevelt, who was most can cerned, but of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt that the wedding should be celebrated in a manner comparatively quiet, that it should be a famil v af fair.

A compromise bill removing all in ternal revenue tax from leaf tobacco was agreed upon for a favorable re port by the House ways and means committee. At present internal rev enue laws impose a tax on leaf to bacco in case the producer places it, in the hands of an agent for sale, but permits the grower personally to sell his own tobacco without tax. Under the measure agreed upon, the sale of leaf tobacco will be as unrestricted as the sale of any other product. Tobac co growers endeavored to have the bill extend exemption fro mtax to twist tobacco but the committee would not include anything In the measure but the natural leaf.

It was a beautiful conceit, founded upon the pretty proverb, "Happy is the bride the sun shines on." No lovelier day in winter ever dawned. The air was as balmy, almost, as in spring. No more auspicious day for a wedding could have been imagined. The floral decorations were more elaborate ; than any heretofore have been in President Roosevelt 's adminis tration. While unnecessary space in the great apartment was not taken -up with decorations, as every inchof it was needed to accomodate the guests, two huge vases of rare design each filled with Easter lillies and ferns, oc cupied each of the mantles, and two, handsome tables, one each at the north and south ends of the room, bore jardinieres of flowering rhododen drons. ; Miss Alice a Dainty Bride.

Miss Roosevelt An Auspicious Moment. Ifc was one of the most auspicious moments in the history of the White House. t In low, yet resonant tones, Bishop Satterlee began. At the ennrlnsinri ot the responses from the bride and groom, the venerable bishop inquired in a tone mat mied the great room- wno giveth this woman to be married to this man? The President of the United States ascended the platform and taking his daughter's right hand, placed it in mat ot the bridegroom. Thus he gave the bride away to the man of her choice, and by the ring, which an instant later the groom placed on the tourtii finger ot her left hand, she became Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. - At'' the conclusion of the wedding ceremony, the assembled guests were received by Mr. and Mrs. Longworth on the platform and beneath the floral bower where their hands and hearts were joined forever rhey were suowcrea witn congratulations. The guests then . were received in . the Last Room by the President and Mrs. Roosevelt. After the informal re- ( ; 1.1. 1 i n cepinms, me uriuai oreaKiast was served, in buffet form, in the state and private dining rooms. The decorations of the main corri dor were beautifully artistic.
