THE WHITE HOUSE WEDDING. 



The State apartments of the White 

 House were a mass of color on the oc- 

 casion of the fourteenth weddins cere- 

 mony performed in the Executive .Man- 

 sion when Miss Eleanor Randolph Wil- 

 son, daughter of the President and 

 Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, became thi^ 

 bride of William Gibbs McAdoo, Secre- 

 tary of the Treasury. Large quanti- 

 ties of dogwood blooms, American

 formed in the blue room where lilies, 

 palms and ferns formed the chief dec-

floor at cither end. At either side of 

 the chancel were large vases of lilies 

 and between the windows were stream- 

 ers of white satin ribbon. The mantels 

 in this room, as in the east room, 

 were decorated with huge clusters of 

 lilies, and on tables in the latter room 

 were large standards of dogwood 

 blooms. Standards of American Beau- 

 ty roses were used in the alcoves along 

 ihe corridor, while vases of pink and 

 white roses adorned the tables where 

 the weddin,g supper was served. These 

 flowers were also used on the mantels, 

 and in the red room were clusters of 

 American Beauty, pink Kilarney roses 

 and dogwood, forming the decorations 

 in the green room. 



The bride carried a huge shower of 

 white orclaids and lily of the valley 

 tied with white satin ribbon and gauze, 

 on which was embroidered designs, 

 with long streamers reaching almost 

 to the hem of her gown, whicli were 

 decorated with lily of the valley and 

 orange blossoms. The flower girls. 

 Miss Sallie McAdoo, and Miss Nancy 



Lane, wore hats trimmed with Jap- 

 anese crab-apple blossoms, orchid flow- 

 ering sweet peas and ferns, with large 

 bows of white satin ribbon. Prince de 

 Biilgarie roses were used to decorate 

 the sheplierds' crooks carried by tlie 

 bridesmaids. The roses were tied witli 

 large bows of white satin ribbon and 

 from these were long streamers sim- 

 ilar to those used in the bridal bouquet, 

 and trimmed with orange blossoms. 



Unlike the wedding of her sister, 

 that of the now Mrs. McAdoo brought 

 very little business to the local florists 

 for exceptionally few gifts of flowers 

 were made. It was more of a family 

 affair and not nearly so elaborate.
