~® Sylvester W, NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1914. MISS ELEANOR WILSON | BRIDE OF SEC. MADOO ~Siuplc Whte House Wedding So- Gmflil@fl W Rev. SYWGS[GI Beach. Washington, May 3.—Miss Eleanor Randolph Wilson, youngest daughter "\ of the president and Mrs, Wilson, be- came the bride last night of William Gibbs McAdoo, secretary of the trea- sury, in the historic blue room of the White House. Less than a hundred versons—and but a few officials— heard the low-toned voice of Rev. Beach, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Prince- ton, N. J., where the Wiison family has worshipped for years, as he unit- €d in marriage a member of the cabi- net and the daughter of the presi- dent of the Uniteq States. It was a simple ceremony, brief but solemn—the radiant faces of the bride and groom reflecting the hap- piness of the hour. For the president and Mrs. Wilson it was a touching moment, as they gave away a daugh- ter for the second time within a year. ™Around them stood their relatives and friends, a small group, for it was a family affair—much the same kind of home wedding one would see in any American household, though the historic interior of the White House, with its masses of lilies and ferns, the uniformed aides, and the presence of members of the cabinet and the vice president, preserved for the function an official aspect. Afternoon of Gaiety. It was in contrast, nevertheless, to the wedding of last November. There were no uniformed diplomats, no members of the senate or house, or the supreme court. This was the Wish of the bride and gruums earried out ™ to the letter, and exeept for an after- noon of gaiety among the young folks with the busy anticipation that always precedes a wedding, the day and evening moved quietly and quickly. The ceremony started at 6 g'clock and lasted but fifteen minutes. . The re- ception was brief, the wedding supper was followed by a brief dance and at 8 o'clock the bride and groom had left, all the wedding guests had de- pvarted and the White House resumed its normal appearance. All day long there had been busy preparations, but official Washington and the society of the national capi- tal had no part in the affair. Most of the guests were intimate friends of the family from other cities. Secre- tary McAdoo gave a luncheon to his colleagues in the cabinet attended al- 8o by Dr. Cary T. Grayson, U. 8. N, his best man, Secretary Tumuity and Vice President Marshall. It wag a jov- ial company, speech making and’ witty toasts, especially from Mr. Marshall, Keeping the group’ in a continuous roar of laughter, ‘The president and Mrs. Wilson motored with their three ¥ daughters. e A Scene of 8 The White House was' a scene of | beauty indoors and -out. The sunset of a spring evening, tinting a cloudless sky, the sparkling fountains and new green foliage, the rose bushes in blossom and the Italian gardens gave i the wedding guests a picture of rare w beauty as they entered.

MACHINES No Honeymoon -Abroad. The Presbyterian single ring service was used, with the characteristic words, ‘‘Love, honor and obey.” As the president gave the bride away, there was an affectionate smile' on his face. He stepped back from the altar beside Mrs. Wilson and as the words of the service were read,. their faces grew grave. The bride and groom re- peated the service unfalteringly. They smiled happily as they led the proces- sion from the altar to the red room, where they received the comgratula- tions of the guests. N Supper was served-at small tables in the state dining roem, while the marine band played, The bride cut the wedding cake with Dr. Grayson's sword, the young people had a dance in the blue room and suddenly Mr. and Mrs. McAdoo slipped into a wait- ing automobile and meotored rapidly down Executive ‘avenue. They will be away on their heneymoon about two weeks and will not go abroad, as has been reported. The secretary expects to keep in close touch with the work of his office. OBJECTS T LOVEMAKING.
