II White HouseBearsDan&ipicTs Mark Bliss in Store For Jessie Wilson $! H Tradition Promises Her Happiness WASHINGTON. Nov. 14. Happi ness is surely in store for Jessie Wil son, the fifteenth White House bride, as such is the unbroken tradition of the matches which have graced the Presidential Mansion. When the Chief executive's youngest daughter be comes Mrs. Francis B. Sayre in the East Room on November 25, the soft ly wafte'i strains of the famous Ma rine band should call to her mind the vision of a long line of blushing come ly predecessors, whose lives have been blessed Dy their union within these historic walls. Indeed the White House breathes an air of romance and love-making of sweethearts' sighs, and the whispering of sweet and precious vows. Only one president of the long line has shown the hardihood to resist this seductive atmosphere James Buchanan, who entered a bachelor and came out at the end of his term unscathed. But two other Presidents, Cleveland and Tyler, fell willing victims to the benedict-creating influence. Of the fourteen previous White House brides, four have been married" elsewhere, but these are included be cause they came immediately to the mansion on their honeymoon and be cause they are linked in the minds of the American people with the home of Presidents. . Early Weddings. The White House was born with the mark of Dan Cupid on it, for its pre decessor, the old first White House of hewn stone which was burned by the British during the war of 1S12, itself paw a marriage amid its yellow satin upholstery and damask hangings. Mrs. Madison, permeated with the White House romance, persuaded Miss Todd of Philadelphia," a demure but beauti ful Quakeress, who was her near rela tive, to be married in the Presidential mansion. Then the first lady of the land set out to show what a Presiden tial wedding setting should be. Her lavishness almost shocked the Quaker bride, it is related. But Mrs. Madi son had her way and with great splen dor Miss Todd became Mrs. John G. j Jackson. Her husband was a member of Congress from Virginia, and the great-uncle of "Stonewall" Jackson. The first ceremony of this character in the present White House was the wedding of Miss Maria Monroe, young est daughter of President Monroe, and Lawrence Gouverneur, of New York City, on March 9, 1820. Six years later, John Adams was the first son of a President to be married In the execu tive mansion. He took Helen Jackson, of Massachusetts, described as "look ing like an angel in her gown of white satin and soft lace" for his bride. JJ1T t:r., ; c,,h,.v nf ri :i m. r . .

When her . engagement to General j Russell Hastings was announced, Mrs. ) Mayes opened her home and the cou ple were married in the Blue Room beneath a great bell of 1500 buds and blossoms. Cleveland Wedding. The pearl of the White House wed dings came next. This was the mar riage of a President, Grover Cleve land, in the Executive Mansion. On the evening of June 2, 1886, the East Room Aresented a magnificent ap pearand; the mantelpieces, mirrors, chandeliers and columns were roses, orchids and the national colors. A distinguished company of fifty guests Btood in a semi-circle aa the Presi dent and Miss Folson of Buffalo, a lovely girl who won the affection of the American people, entered. A great gun boomed from the arsenal and every church bell and whistle in the city sounded their gladness. The bride was tall, graceful, blue eyed and fair, clad in a gown of ivory satin trimmed with Indian silk, ar ranged in Grecial folds over the front of her corsage and fastened in folds of satin at the side. She carried no flowers and wore no jewels save her engagement ring. Her train would have reached from the spot where her vows were pledged to the corridor had she not deftly whisked it into a glis tening, billowy pile at her feet. The most recent White House wed ding was that of Alice Roosevelt and Nicholas Longworth, in 1906. The ceremony took place in front of a win dow of ihe East room which had been draped in cloth of gold. There was a wilderness of flowers. The bride stood on a slightly raised platform with Mr. Ixingworth. her gown of heavy cream patin, princess style, giving her a mag nificent appearance. More than a thousand invitations had been issued and the array of wedding presents at tracted much attention. makes COMPAR SON OF BABESAND PIGS Mrs. Charles Butler Speaks Before Congress of Mothers.
