Only Immediate Relatives of tt | Ceremony?Honeymoon Trip 1 Home Where Wedding Will I Conservatory?Marriages < t'.fei' ? j i i ^ J By GEORGE CLINTON. (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.) Washington.?In a small, unrre-! tentious house, 1308 Twentieth street,j in this city, Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait,1 widow, will be married' Saturday, De-1 cember 18, to Woodrow Wilson, wid- j ower and president of the United States. Not since the marriage of President John Tyler to Miss Julia Gardiner has there been a wedding of a president marked by such extreme quiet and seclusiveness as is to be the case at this wedding which will join the Wilson and the Gait families. President Tyler went to New York to be mar ried to Miss Gardiner and there at the Church of the Ascension in the presence of only a handful of persons he took unto himself his second wife. At the coming wedding of another president of the United States there will be j present no persons except those of the immediate families of the two contracting parties. Only one cabinet officer, Mr. McAdoo, will witness the ceremony, and ne not Dy rignt or nis official position, but because he is the son-in-law of the president, having married Mr. Wilson's youngest daughter. When Grover Cleveland was married in the White House to Miss Folsom, the wedding j party was a small one, but included in it were members of the president's Dabinet and several other high officers , Df government. President Wilson and . Mrs. Gait have decreed tfcat their ] union shall be wholly a family affair. ^ Relatives Only to Be Present. Mrs. Gait will be attended by her 3ister, Miss Bertha Boiling of this ;ity. Even with the guests limited to ;he members of the families of the president and his bride-to-be the capacity of the parlors in the modest 5alt home will be taxed, for both the irinciDals have many close relatives. , To witness the ceremony and to j jive congratulations to the newly marked ones these persons, among other , unsfolk, will be present: Miss Mar- J v ^-i^_ brhbHh Home of Mrs, Gait, Where /.he IT IH AND UJ FW in le Couple to Be Present at the j to the South Is Planned?Gait 3e Performed to Be Veritable )f Other Presidents Recalled. garet Wilson, the president's eldest; daughter; Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayrej of Williamstown, Mass., the1 president's | second daughter; Mrs. William G.

Baltimore, the president's brother; j Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the presi-; dent's cousin, and several other close relatives of the president's family, j Mrs: Gait, who, before her first mar- j. riage was Miss Edith Boiling of Vir-1 ginia, has several brothers and sisters, j all of whom will attend the weddine. , Mrs. Gait's mother, Mrs. William H. Boiling, is living and makes her home c with her daughter. Mrs. Gait's sisters ; ^ who will be in attendance are Miss ; ^ Bertha Boiling of Washington and; Mrs. H. H. Maury of Anniston, Ala. j ^ Her brothers, all of whom will at- i tend, are John Randolph Boiling, Rich- . ard W. Boiling, Julian B. Boiling, all of Washington; R. E. Boiling of Pana- _ ma and Dr. W. A. Boiling of Louisville, Ky. ] * To Avoid Big Crowd. j Up to the very last moment it is nrnVioKlo fTiof + Vi ci ovonf Vi cmit r>f +V10 I wedding ceremony will be kept a secret. The desire is to prevent the ] gathering of a huge crowd about the ^ Gait residence. As soon as the cere- j 1 iiiony is over and the members of the j family have congratulated the bride j and groom, the newly married ones . will leave for the South on a honeymoon trip which probably will last un- ^ till the first week in January. The j . president and his bride must be back 11 in Washington before January 7 in orier to act as host and hostess at a *reat reception to be given in the I* K/hifP "Wnnsp tn thp Ppn-American rerv ^ esentatives in the capital, and, more>ver, because congress by that time p will have reconvened after the Christ- 11 nas holidays and Mr. Wilson must be : ^ jack at his.desk. * The White House conservatories md several of the private conserva- r; ories of the city of Washington will ^ Cers:nony Will Qz Performed. b I * have their stocks of flowers nearly depleted in order to make beautiful with blossoms the scene of this wedding: of a nresi.ipnf Thp Cl&]t roci. i dence virtually will become a con- j servatory itself on the night oi the j ceremony. There will be music furnished by a small orchestra assigned from the membership of the Marine band, but the actual wedding march is likely to be played upon a piano by Miss Bertha Boiling, one of Mrs. Gait's sisters. Orchids Mrs. Gait's Favorite. An altar, which virtually will be a bank of flowers, is to be erected at the west end of the parlors of the resij mr_ ^ * * i ? ueuce. me Driae-to-oe win meet tne president at the foot of the stairway in a hall without the wedding room, and will walk with him from there to the altar front. Mrs. Gait will carry a bouquet of orchids, which Mr. Wilson found out long ago to be her favorite flowers. She will be attired in a traveling gown. The ring will be a plain gold circlet inscribed with the the initials Of bride and groom. Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait has been known for a good many years as one of the most perfectly gowned women in Washington. She is a handsome woman and always dresses in exquisite taste. Her gowns always have been chosen with rare care and almost perfect judgment For some time Mrs. Gait has been busy in selecting her trousseau, being aided in this most ! important work by her mother, Mrs. Boiling, a woman of excellent discernment. Mrs. Gait's trousseau already bias arrived in Washington. Its selection was a matter of months and some controversies arose as to what might be called its origin. There were ' stories to the effect that French supoly houses resented sunnlvine any ;hing through German-American mid- i ile men. Most of the stories were 5 baseless, and it can be said that al nost wholly Mrs. Gait's wedding out- . it is of American origin. Resume White House Functions. Dark green and orchid are the pre- ] lominating hues in the gowns of the )ride-to-be, for, as has been said, 1 >rchids are Mrs. Gait's favorite flow- ] >rs. There are traveling gowns, street | jowns, and evening gowns, the latter' >f which will be seen throughout the ( roming winter when the White House- . s to be reopened for a series of oldime entertainments. The four great ( )fficial receptions, which were omitted 1 ast winter, will be resumed, and there i vill be afternoon teas and many mu- ] licals. t President Wilson is the sixth pre3llent of the United States to marry ai x ridow. Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison * carried widows, in one or two cases s he widow being the second, wife of he president. John Tyler and Theo- ? lore Roosevelt each married the sec- ? ?nd time, but their wives had not be- , ore been wedded. i It is not necessary to speak of ieorge Washington's marriage.

He married p ranees Folsom, the daughter of his tw partner, whom he had known y hen she was a little girl at an age i hen she had called him "Uncle i leve.'' Mr. Cleveland and Miss Fol)m were married in the Blue room at ~ le White House. For a long time it was thought that resident Wilson wouia De marnea i the White House. For some reason * other people took it for granted Lat Mrs. Gait would prefer a cere- e ony in the executive mansion. From d le point of view of womankind it jemingly is a compelling thing to be ble to speak of a White House wed[ng as one of the participants. Mrs. a alt, however, held to the thought that woman should be married in her wn home rather than in that of her c usband. She did not believe in ^ reaking the American home preceent in such matters, a world's prece- ^ ent in fact. Washington generally Dncedes that she showed good taste 1 her quick determination that her b wn house should be the scene of the P redding. fi The wedding of the president of the b rnited States to Mrs. Gait will be in e etail and surroundings a most simple ffair. It will be in keeping witn tra- j 7 itional American simplicity in cases 3 -dce3 one dare say it??where the J ride and the groom have passed he-;ri ond the stage of jontli* ? . J " CI " ' a TALK OF rEACE AFTER DEFENSE BRYAN STRIKES SEW SOTE AT CHARLESTON. Commoner Tells Men Who Targe Preparedness That War is Idle Fear. The State. Charleston, Dec. 16.?William Jennings Bryan, leading exponent of +lie forces in the United States who are battling with words against war and the general program of defense, tonight brought his message for universal peace to the delegates of the Southern Commercial congress in the German Artillery hall, which was filled to" capacity. Hundreds were turned away unable to gain admittance. Another distinguished speaker of the evening was William C. Gorgas, surwnn pfuncrd 1 TT Q A -rrrVi <-\ h-ah /? OVVU QVUViUl, KJ. -ti,, YTXlVy T> Wli, a worldwide reputation because of his conquest of disease in tbe tropics. The title of the Commoner's address was "War or Peace." He has been delivering practically the same address at many points in the United States since his retirement as secretary of state in the Wilson cabinet. The address by Mr. Bryan injected a new element into the commercial congress, which has been giving serious consideration to the necessity of arming the United States to repeL all. in- v vasion.

Mr. Bryan was given an ovation toaight when he entered the convention aalL More than 100 persons jumped ;o their feet, cheering wildly. The Commoner was particularly eloluent and despite the fact that many. n the audience were opposed to some >f the policies enunciated lie received iberal applause on eviery point scored n favor of peace.

(The senator assured Mr. Bryan, hat^it was Ms physical condition that caused him to retire and said that he *rouid read all that h-e-had to say. Upon being introduced Mr. Bryan iaid that it was a great pleasure to. lave the privilege of addressing the commercial congress. He called atentjon to the fact that three United, states sesators were present to "near Lis address. "I am gJad to present the ubject to them and to you" he said X the outset of his address. "I am in. leaxty sympathy with all of the ob ects of your association:," said the ormer secretary in discussing the inas of the commercial congress. In his address tonight Mr. Bryan id not advocate the dismantling of the fleet or the disorganization of tile rmy. He did vigorously oppose the ncrease of these two fighting wings f the government services. At one one in Stfs addtes& tha former secreary said, "And I so much believe in he right of the people to nave wiat hey want that I admit the right of he people to go to war if they really rant, but I feel as a North Carolina ? 14 4-1*^4. ongressman expressed nini-seii, f we are to "have war, it would be beter for the people to rote it upon thern'r elves than to have others vote it on hem. "I believe that the women, houfd vote on all questions, but if they ote on onry one it ought to be an eiecion which decides the issue between, eace antf war.* Mr. Bryan's references to President Tilson were in a very friedly tone.
