It was witnessed by one of the most dis tinguished assemblages ever gather ed in -thc White House, by far thc largest company which ever graced the Executive Mansion on a similar occasion. Shortly after 4 o'clock, Mr. and Mrs. Longworth left the White House by the south entrance, thereby avoid ing a large and curious throng which had assembled in front of the man sion. Alone they entered a large auto and were driven rapidly away. They went, it is understood but not dis closed authoritively, to the. country home of John R. McLean, "Friend ship," a few miles from the heart of Washington on the Tenallytown road. A photograph of the bride in her wedding gown was taken before her departure from the White Hor.se.

The minister who had the reputation of never relaxing from Ms dignity was drying to prove to a few congenial friends that the reputation was not deserved. 'Why, one day I laughed right out in the pulpit." he said, "and I**'Md not get over the disgrace of it fofteveral weeks. But it was one of those times when my sense of humor got the better of my ministerial calm. "It was one hot summer day. and my church was very close to a house. The windows of the church were open, and we could hear distinctly the mur mur of voices next door. I had just offered prayer, and there was the in tense silence which always follows an invocation. In the solemn silence a woman's harsh voice screamed: '"John, where ar? the nails?' And a gruff voice answered: " 'In the coffee pot, you fool. You put'them there youself.'"
