HE wedding of the president of
the United States and Mrs.
Edith Bolling Galt at the bride's
Washington home on the even-
ing of Saturday, Dec. 18, electrifies an
entire nation, peculiarily susceptible
to the heart appeal to a country wit-
nessing the marriage of its first citi-
zen.
With a ceremony so simple and with
attendants so few one can scarcely be-
lieve that the wedding means a new
life for the president and a new ‘‘first
lady of the land.”
Mrs. Galt, one of the most beautiful
women in Washington of the old Vir |
ginia stock, never looked more lovely |
than she did as the date for the wed- |
ding approached. And even the most
cynical recognizes the genuineness of
the elation and buoyancy of the presi-
dent, who under the spell of his bride
has been literally “made over.”
On Dec. 28 the president will be fifty- |
nine years old. Less than a year ago

functions more brilliant than those
which will be held in the White House
after the return of the president and
his bride from their honeymoon. She
is a gracious and brilliant entertainer, |
although she has taken little part in
social activities during the past eight
years. Of course there will be trouble
in arranging the diplomatic dinners be-
cause of the European war, but the
president's bride is somewhat of a dip-
lomat herseif and will find a way out.
Many
and Washington society is rejoicing.
Wishingion hag, often noted with
complimentary phrases the bride's
taite in dress. Her friends have al-
ways remarked her ability to dress
distinctively and becomingly. Back of
this ability lies a talent cultivated in
the girlhood days. Money was not
overahundant in the Bolling family.
‘here was enough to give everybody
the elucaticn due the standing of an
old and influential Virginia family, but
receptions have been planned.
her judgment in u watter so intimate |
and vital,” was one comment.
This side light is further emphasized
in her manner of traveling. She selects
her route and her companion, makes
her arrangements and sets out sanely.
According to another of her friends,
she is one “of the most alive and vivid
, women” imaginable.
An alive and vivid woman she ap-
pears in her travels. Two years ago,
with Miss Alice Gertrude Gordon, she
made a tour of Spain—not the Spain
of the cities, but the bypaths of the
| unfrequented Spain.
Between Miss Gordon and the bride
the warmest friendship exists. Called
to General Gordon's deathbed, her
promise to “look after Gertrude” has
resulted in a devoted friendship ce-
mented by long periods of travel in far-
| off lands. Sentimental only is the tie
| of ‘“guardianship” which many in
Washington, even the closest of friends,
consider exists between Miss Gordon
| and the president's helpmate. How-
| ever, so devoted is she to her young
companion ‘‘Altrude” (a play on the
given names of Alice Gertrude), that
even her business affairs have many
times received the steadying infitence
| of her oversight.
Fine “Poor Man’s Wife.”
To turn to the purely domestic side,
she is an excellent housekeeper, and
she has a'reputation for retaining not
only the good will but the co-operation
of her-domestics. She herself can work
out a menu admirably, and if the ne-
cessity arose she could personally “get
up” a palatable dinner. She is clever
at the Sunday evening supper table (a
distinctive feature of southern house-
holds), and her handling of the chafing

the trace of a very eventful year was
written unmistakably into his face and
physique. Especially did he show the
stress and travail which he has under-
gone during the last five years. To
day, apparently without a care in the |
world, he looks less than fifty. His air |
of austere reserve has melted away |
and he is all graciousness. Nobody can |
doubt that under the influence of the
simple, gracious, companionable wo- |
wan he has won, “the year's at the |
spring” for him. Moreover, he devel
oped an enthusiasm in his courtship |
that proved a delight and surprise for |
those who thought they knew him best |
The “Something Blue.” |
The same turquoise bracelet worn
by other brides of this administration
—Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre and Mrs. |
William Gibbs McAdoo—adorns the
arm of’ the president's bride. It is
the, property of Miss Margaret Wilson
and supplies the. '‘something borrowed
and something blue” necessary to car-
£y out the old bridal superstition.
The “something old” js a piece of
rare old rose poilit from a fimous Boll
ing’ collection. The wedding gown! of
course, provides the ‘something new.”

family of girls remarkable for their
beauty and popularity was not always
available, wherefore Miss Edith Boll
ing began to utilize her gift for lino
and form and for color and desizgu.
Twenty-five years ago in Wytheviile,
Va., the new first lady as a girl in her
teens developed a great reputation in
the large family connection for her
ability to*buy. to cut out, to fit and to
male up divers frocks for divers ocea
sions, So, too, with hats. She has
<rcat skill in the building of a hat. She
an ‘poise a wing” or twist a ribbon
into a bow with the skill of a trained
hand.
Not Fond of Jewelry.
“She has less jewelry than any mein
ber of the family,” said one of the con-
nection the other day. “I should say
she had no favorite gem. The opal is
her birthstone and is seen in the band-
some bodice Jewels, brooches or rings
she possesses. She never cared for
jewels, L£Yen as a young girl.”
The bride is fond of flowers. No mat-
ter what the blossom, its color. its
fragrance, its shape, its size, she is
fond ‘of flowers. The président’s edrii-
est rémeémbranee took the form of ex
quigite clusters ;of orchids, sometimes
white, Sometimes yellow, sometimes
mauve. Huge clusters of rich .red roses
sometimes replaced the orchids, and

time she has gone she has stopped, for
perieds, yarying. from gix months to. a:

delights in leisurely touring abeut in
unfrequented paths.
A Simple Woman.
“You may fake it from me, Edith

She is in love with the man Woodrow

She ig a familiar figure in the Wash-
| ington markets, her smart little run-
about many times being filled with the
more perishable fruits of her domestic
shopping.
Altogether she would make a ‘fine
wife for a poor man.”
She is open handed and generous, a
devoted church woman’ and until quite
recently, a member of St. Thomas’ Bpis-
copal church. She now attends St
Margaret's, where her brother, Rich-
ard Wilmer Bolling, is an usher ané
where her mother, Mrs, W, H. Bolling,
her unmarried brother, John Randolph
Bolling; ard ber sister, Miss Bertha
Bolling, also attend.
Fond of -Young People.
‘““To show the younger contingent a
good time” is one of ‘her attributes.
Not less is she considerate of the aged.
‘Many instances of her logking up the
