The ceremony, the simple, beautiful
and impressive ring sen-ice of thc
Episcopal Church, was attended ?with
alb the splendor of a grand official
function and with all thc devotional

beauty of a ca t h red ral service. 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.
' A halo of a hundred years of ro

the bridal couple. Miss Roosevelt
Mas the twelfth bride, according to
accepted authorities, to plight her
troth within the classic walls and iden
tical spot where she joined hands with
the husband of her choice '-for better, j
for worse,"" is hallowed in the mem
cry of another White House bride, i
Upset Clerical Dignity.
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.'"

The President of the United States
ascended the platform and taking his

that of 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
fourth finger of her left hand, she
became Sirs. Nicholas Longworth.
