'Beautiful Women.
(Continued From Pace 1.)
Theodore, Jr., descended the main stair
case and entered the East room by the
west doors. She was "preceded by Major
Charles McCawloy and other military
aids, and was escorted to a point at the
left of the platform where the wedding
ceremony was to take place. The mother
and sisters of the bridegroom and other
designated members of his family already
had assumed their places at the right
of the platform. That a way might be
kept clear for the approach of the wed
ding 'party to the extemporized altar,
twisted white satin ropes were stretched
from each side of the main entrance of
the East room to points on the east wall
of the apartment on the north and south
sides of the floral bower. Mrs. Roose
velt was followed by her son, Kermlt,
and hor daughter, Ethel, and her sons,
.Archie and Qucntin, in couples. The chil
dren stood with their mother on the
north side of the altar platform. As she
entered the East room, Mrs. Roosevelt
graciously acknowledged greetings of
friends. i .
Mrs. Roosevelt's Dress.
She wore a superb gown of crcam
colorod brocade, heavy and richly de
signed, on which were figures of blue
and lrown Interlaced with threads of
gold. The dress was cut in princess
style, with a long train of the same
brocaded material. It was trimmed in
brown chiffon, embroidered in blue and
gold. The yoke of the bodice was formed
of embroidered chiffon, as were the trim
mings of the elbow sleeves. The skirt,
exquisitely designed, was panelled in blue
and gold embroidery- She wpre long,
white, undressed kid gloves and orna
ments of diamonds.
Enter, the Bridegroom.
Following hor almost immediately came
the bridegroom, the Hon. Nicholas Long
worth, accompanied by his best man,
Thomas Nelson Perkins, of Boston, one
of the members of the Corporation of
Harvard College and a classmate at col
lege of Mr. 'Longworth. They descended
the main staircase and entered the East
room under the escort of the military
aids. The groom and his best man took
their places at the foot of the embowered
platform to await the coming of the
bride. Already Bishop Sattcrlee had tak
en his place on the platform, attired in
the purple and ivory robes of his clerical
office.
Scarcely had the bridegroom entered the
East room when the doors of the state
dining-room at the west entrance of the
main corridor were flung open and the
bridal procession started for the extem
porized altar.
Bridal Party Enters.
The President and Miss Roosevelt had
descended from the upper apartments of
the "White House by the elevator. They
had passed into the private dining-room
and thence Into the state dining-room.
There they were joined by the ushers,
Quincy A. Shaw, of Boston; Frederick
Winthrop, of New York; Francis R.
Bangs, of Boston; Guy Norman, of Bos
ton; B. A. Wallingford, of Cincinnati;
Larse Anderson, of Washington, D. C;
Vicomtc Charles de Chambrun, of the
French Embassy, and Theodore Roose
velt, Jr. Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Shaw
led the bridal procession. Following the
ushers came President Roosevelt and the
bride of Mr. Longworth, her hand rest
ing lighlly within the right arm of her
father.
As the procession moved through the
main corridor and into the East room,
the Marine Band orchestra rendered ef
fectively the grand march from Wagner's
"Tannhaeuser."
BRIDE NEVER LOOKED BETTER
Wedding Gown Splendid Creatlon of
Specially-Made Material.
Miss Roosevelt never appeared to better
advantage. Perfectly 'self-possessed and
thoroughly appreciative of the situation,
she graciously recognized and bowed to
personal friends who lined the way to the
altar.
Her wedding gown was. an exquisite
creation. It was of heavy white brocad
ed satin, point lace, chiffon, filmy tulle
and silver brocade. The material from
which the gown was created was manu
factured expressly for Miss Roosevelt.
The design, intricate and delicate In Its
details, was destroyed as soon as the nec
essary amount of the material for the
dress was completed. The gown had a
particularly long court train of elegant
silver brocade. The bodice was made high
without a collar, and was trimmed with
beautiful old point lace, the sleeves being
finished at the elbow with the same filmy
material. Long white gloves barely met
the sleeves.
A voluminous tulle veil practically com
pletely enveloped the graceful figure of
the charming bride- In her hair It was
caught and held In place by clusters of
orange blossoms. Her dainty slippers, In
perfect harmony with her gown, were
fastened with silver brocade and tulle
bows caught with orange flowers instead
of buckles.
The bride wore no jewels except the
magnificent diamond necklace which was
the gift of the groom.
. She carried a lovely shower bouquet of
the rarest and daintiest white orchids
which the groom was able to procure. The
fragile blossoms were arranged In a cas
cade effect, falling over her right arm
nearly to the foot of her gown. The bou
quet was tied with chiffon satin ribbon In
long bows.
THEY ARE MADE MAN AND WIFE
Beautiful Episcopal Service Ends
With Giving of Ring.
As the ushers reached the platform they
separated, and the President -and the
bride passed through the two lines. Mr.
Longworth stepped forward and received
Hoosevelt from the, arm of the Pxegl-
dent, and together the bride and the
bridegroom ascended the two steps of the
platform. Miss Ethel Roosevelt relloved
the bride of her bouquet and held It
throughout the ceremony.
As Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Longworth
faced Bishop Satterlee, a hush fell over
the assemblage. Every one of the thou
sand present wished to catch every syl
lable of the ceremony which was to fol
low. In a dlstinot, resonant voice the
bishop began the beautiful marriage serv
ice of the Episcopal Church. The re
sponses of both the bride and the bride
groom were audible distinctly throughout
the great apartment. Particularly clear
were those of the bride, whose volco was
as natural and distinct as In ordinary con
versation. "While her face was a shade
paler than usual, her self-possession .was
perfect, and she wont through the cere
mony without a symptom of nervousness.
When the venerable Bishop Satterlee
asked the question prescribed In the ritual,
"Who givcth this woman to be married
to this man?" President Roosevelt ascend
ed the platform and bowed to the distin
guished prelate. Taking, then, his daugh
ter's hand, he placed It in that of the
bridegroom. Having performed this func
tion, the President resumed his place at
the right of Mrs. Roosci'olt,
The best man, Mr. Perkins, then pro
duced from a pocket of his walstcmt the
gold circlet with which the couple was
wedded, and handed it to Mr. Ingworth.
When he had placed It on. the fourth An
ger of his bride's loft hand, the bishop
pronounced that they were "man and
wife."

his best wishes to the bride and groom.
He was followed by Mrs. Roosevelt and

Into the Blue room. There they re

they had offered their congratulations
to Mr. and Mrs. Longworth.

and main corridor into the state dining-room,
where an olaboratc buffet

OFF FOR QUIET HONEYMOON
yir. and Mrs. Longworth Will .Rusti
cate at Tcnnallytown.
Shortly after 4 o'clock Mr. and Mrs.
Longworth left the White House by
the south entrance, thereby avoiding a
large and curious throng which had
assombled in front of the mansion.
Alone, they entered a large automobile
and were driven rapidly away. They
went to the country home of John R.
McLean. "Friendship," a few miles
from the heart of Washington on tho
Tonnallytown road. As the bridal cou
ple entered the automobile they were
showered- with dainty slippers of rlco
thrown by the "brothers and sister of
the bride and by the younger members
of the Roosevelt family connections
who were present.
Mrs. Longworth was attended to the
big touring car by Major Charlos Mc
Cawley, a long-time friend and one of
the social aids of. the President. Mr.
Perkins, the bridegroom's best man,
accompanied Mr. Longworth to the car.
Standing on the south portico of tho
White House the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt. Commander and Mrs. Cowles
and other members of thc family bade
the bridal couple godspeed and waved
handkerchiefs to them until they were
out of sight.
Just as the automobile drew away
from the White House an old shoe
thrown by one of the ushers at the
wedding alighted on the top of the
machine and it remained there as long
as the car was in sight. It soon be
came noised about that the bride and
bridegroom had left the White House,
but not until that fact became known
definitely did the throng about the
White House grounds disperse.

mombers of the Decilllon Club, the under
graduate organization of that institution,
entered the private dining-room, where
for half an hour the bride and groom

bration. The wedding cake proper Is reported
to have been three feet across and a foot
thick, with Icing between its layers arid
sugar cuplds on top. The name of the
lucky finder of the ring nas not been disclosed.

'Trwclve years ago I had a severe at
tack of la grippe and I never really re
covered my health and strength, but grew

work.
"Two years ago I began using Pcruna
and it built up my strength so that In a
couple of months I was able to go to
work again.
"This "Winter I had another attack of
la grippe, but Peruna soon drove It out
of my system.
"My wife and I consider Peruna a
household remedy."
Pneumonia Followed La Grippes
Pe-ru-na, the Remedy That.
Brought Relief.
Mr. T. Barnecott, West Aylmer, Onta
rio. Can., writes:
"Last Winter I was III with pneumonia
after having la grippe. I took Peruna
for two months, when I became quite
well, and I can say that any one can be
cured by it In a reasonable time and at
little expense.
"Every time I take a cold I take some
Peruna, which makes me well again.
i "I also advised it for my daughter, who
was so hi witn prostration mat she could
liot follow her trade of dressmaking..
"A bottle of Pcruna made. such a change
In her that she has been able to follow
her trade ever since
. "I also Induced a young lady who was
all run down and confined to the house to
take Pcruna. and after taking- Peruna for
three months she Is able to follow her
trade of tailoring.
"I can recommend Peruna for all such
who are 111 and require a tonic."

continued using It until 1 was cured."
DIVIDED SS USUAL
Many Democratic Senators for
Philippine Bill.
WILL INSURE ITS PASSAGE
Two Democrats on Committee Will
Vote Tor Favorable Heport, While
Three Republican 3Iem
bers Will Oppose It.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17. The Philip
pine tariff bill, which has been held up
in the Senate committee ever since It
passed the House, is soon to be reported.
The Democrats of the committee, who
were supposed to be solidly arrayed
against the bill, held a conference today,
and two out of the five declared their In
tention to vote to report the bill Car
mack of Tennessee and McCreary of
Kentucky.
Three Republicans, however Hale ot
Minnesota. Burrows of Michigan and
Brandegee of Connecticut are opposed to
the bill, but even with this line-up the
bill will have a majority of one, and will
be reported In substantially the shape In
which it passed the House.
This favorable report foreshadows Its
ultimate passage, for it demonstrates
what was not known heretofore, that the
Democrats in the Senate will divide,
some favoring and others opposing the
bill. An attempt had been made to in
duce the Democrats to stand out solidly
against the bill on the ground that it was.
not an absolute free trade measure.
BRISTOL EXPLAINS LETTER
Action by President Expected Early
Tills Week.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash
ington, Feb. 17. District Attorney Bris
tol's explanation of his famous letter
to the Coos Bay Land & Improvement
Company was received In Washington to-'
day. but, as all official business was prac
tically suspended on account of the
Roosevelt-Longworth wedding, no con
sideration was given It. The letter will
be laid before the President on Monday,
and it Is expected that Anal action will
soon thereafter be taken.
Inasmuch as Mr. Bristol's answer has
not yet been submitted, to the President,
to whom it is addressed, no statement Is
made as .to its contents, and it Is not
likely that any official announcement will
be made before Monday. It Is believed,
however, that Mr. Bristol admits hav
ing written the letter In question, though
offering an explanation of his motive,
which, he claims. Justifies his action.
What his. explanation Is cannot be
learned.
Mr. Bristol's letter will probably be
referred to the Attorney-General for re
port. His recommendation will go back
to the White House with the letter, and
the President will take such action as the
facts justify.
Senator Fulton has not yet been re
quested to recommend any one else for
the place. The matter is expected to be
disposed of by Monday or Tuesday at
the very Iatest-
