By GEORGE CLINTON. (Copyright, 1915, Western Newspaper Union.> Washington.—ln a small, unpretentious house, 1308 Twentieth street, in this city, Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt, widow, will be married Saturday, December 18, to Woodrow Wilson, wido er and president of the United States. Not since the marriage of President John Tyler to Miss Jujia Gardiner has there been a wedding of a president marked by such extreme quiet and seclusivencss as is to be the case at this wedding which will join the Wilson and the Galt families. President Tyler went to New York to be married to Miss Gardiner and there at the Church of the Ascension in the presence of only a handful of persons he took unto himself his second wife. At the coming wedding of another president of tho United States there will be present no persons except those of the imnieAlUtd. families of tho two contracting ’ffartias. Only one cabinet officer, Mr. McAdoo. will witness the ceremony, and he not by right of his official position, but because he is the son-in-iaw of the president, having married Mr. Wilson's youngest daughter. When Grover Cleveland was married in the White House to Miss Folsom, the wedding party was a small one, but included in it were members of the president's cabinet and several other high officers of government. President Wilson and Mrs. Galt have decreed that their union shall be wholly a family affair. Relatives Only to Be Present. Mrs. Galt will be attended by her sister, Miss Bertha Bolling of this I city. Even with the guests limited to the members of the families of the president and his bride-to-be the capacity of the parlors in the modest Galt home will be taxed, for both the principals have many close relatives. To witness the ceremony and to give congratulations to the newly married ones these persons, among other kinsfolk, will be present: Miss Mar-

V v garet Wilson, the president’s eldest daughter; Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre of Williamstown, Mass., the president’s second daughter; Mrs. William G. McAdoo, the president’s third(daughter; Mrs. Anne Howe of Philadelphia, the president’s sister; Joseph R. Wilson oi Baltimore, the president’s brother: Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the pr -i dent’s cousin, and several other close relatives of the president’s family. Mrs. Galt, who, before her first mar riage was Miss Edith Bolling of Virginia, has several brothers and sisters, all of whom will attend the wedding Mrs. Gait’s mother, Mrs. William H. Bolling, is living and makes her home with her daughter. Mrs. Gait's sisters who will be in attendance are Miss Bertha Bolliqf of Washington and Mrs. H. H. Maury of Anniston, Ala. Her brothers, all of whom will attend, are John Randolph Bolling, Richard W. Bolling, Julian B. Bolling, all of Washington; R. E. Bolling of Panama and Dr. W. A. Bolling of Louisville, Ky. To Avoid Big Crowd. Up to the very last moment it is probable that the exact hour of the wedding ceremony will be kept a secret. The desire is to prevent the gathering of a huge crowd about the Galt residence. As soon as the ceremony is over and the members of the family have congratulated the bride and groom, the newly married ones will leave for the South on a honeymoon trip which probably will last untill the first week in January. The president and his bride must be back in Washington before January 7 in order to act as host and hostess at a great reception to be given in the White House to the fan-Amerlcan representatives in the capital, and, more over, because congress by that time will have reconvened after the Christmas holidays and Mr. Wilson must be back at his desk. The White House conservatories and several of the private conser ■ tories of the city of Washington

have their stocks of flowers nearly depleted In order to make beautiful with blossoms the scene of this wedding of a president. The Galt residence virtually will become a conservatory itself on the night of the . ceremony. There will be music furi nished by a small orchestra assigned ’ from the membership of the Marine band, but the actual wedding march is likely to be played upon a piano by Miss Hertha Bolling, one of Mrs. Gait's sisters. Orchids Mrs. Gait’s Favorite. An altar, which virtually will be a bank of flowers, is to be erected at the west end of the parlors of the residence. The bride-to-be will meet the president at the foot of the stairway in a hall without the wedding room, and will walk with him from there to the altar front. Mrs. Galt will carry a bouquet of orchids, which Mr. Wilson found out long ago to be her favorite flowers. She will be attired in a traveling gown. The ring will be a plain gold circlet inscribed with the the initials of bride and groom. Mrs. .Edith Bolling Galt has been known for a good many years as one of the most perfectly gowned women in Washington. She is a handsome woman and always dresses in exquisite taste. Her gowns always have been chosen with rare care and almost perfect judgment For some time Mrs. Galt has been busy in selecting her trousseau, being aided in this most important work by her mother, Mrs. Bolling, a woman of excellent discernment. Mrs. Gait’s trousseau already has arrived in Washington. Its tion was a matter of months and some controversies arose as to what might be called its origin. There were stories to the effect that French supply houses resented supplying anything through German-American middle men. Most of the stories were baseless, and it can be said that almost wholly Mrs. Gait’s wedding outfit is of American origin. Resume White House Functions. Dark green and orchid are the predominating hues in the gowns of the bride-to-be, for, as has been said, orchids are Mrs. Gait’s favorite flowers. There are traveling gowns, street gowns, and evening gowns, the latter of which will be seen throughout the coming winter when the White House is to be reopened for a series of oldtime entertainments. The four great official receptions, which were omitted last winter, will be resumed, and there will be afternoon teas and many musicals. President Wilson is the sixth president of the United States to marry a widow. Washington, Jefferson. Madison, Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison married widows, in one or two cases the widow being the second wife of the president. John Tyler and Theodore Roosevelt each married the second time, but their wives had not be|fore been wedded. 1 It is not necessary to speak of George Washington’s marriage. The world knows of his courtship, engagement and wedding. His love was “the r widow Curtis.” Thomas Jefferson, at the home of a friend, John Wayles. met Martha Skelton, Wayles’ widowed daughter. She was a beautiful womand and much sought after, but Jefferson finally won her heart. Beautiful Dolly Madison. It is possible that Dolly Madison, the wife of President James Madison, is, in away, better known to Americans than any other wife of a president except, of course, Martha "Washington. John Tyler was married" twice, the second time while he was president. His first wife was Letitia Christian, who belonged to one of the old fami- ' lies of Virginia. Mrs. Tyler bore the i president nine children. Just before her husband was elected vice president of the United States Mrs. Tyler had a stroke of paralysis, and a short time after he succeeded William Henry Harrison as president she died, the i ’eath occurring in the White House. The second winter after the death f Mrs. Tyler the president met Julia, he daughter of a Gardiner who lived ; on an island in Long Island sound. The president fell desperately in love with the young woman and soon they became engaged and were married I quietly at the Church of the Ascension in New York city. The Cleveland Marriage. Grover Cleveland did not marry un- j 11.1 fairly late in life. He married 1 Frances Folsom, the daughter of his law partner, whom he had known [ when she was a little girl at an age ; vhen she had called him “Uncle ' Cleve.” Mr. Cleveland and Miss Fol- , som were married in the Blue room at ' the White House. I For a long time it was thought that ! President Wilson would be married j : in the White House. For some reason I: or other people took it for granted ■ 1 that Mrs. Galt would prefer a ceremeny in the executive mansion. From the point of view of womankind it ; seemingly is a compelling thing to be > able to speak of a White House wed- ; ding as bne of the participants, Mrs. 11 Galt, however, held to the thought that ■ a woman should be married in her ' ; own home rather than in that of her ■ husl and. She did nbt believe in • breaking thfe American home preoe- i de«’t in such matters, a world’s precs-, i dent in fact. Washington generally ■ concedes that she showed good taste ' in her quick determination that her _■ own house should bo the scene o£ tho ’./ling. j . i ''"'le wedding of the president of the I • United States to Mrs. Galt will be in 1 detail and surroundings a most simple 1 an.iir. It will be in keeping with tra- 1 dttlonal American simplicity in cases ' —does one dare say it?—where the ' bride and the groom have passed bo-.

- I HF 1 'el 0 fl ff . Cnnstnifts Altho the dove of pwice is the avowed object of Henry Ford’r, dreams, American Editors seem almost unaniiucus in regarding his expedition as ? wild-goose chase. Such phrases as “Ford’s FoL l” “ Pence Junket,” “Peac Joy-ride, More Innocents Abroad ” “Jitney Peace Excursion,” reflect the prevr. .ing attitude of the American press toward what the calls “the laiet. and most remarkable of Mr. $ Ford’s vagaries.’’ Suber rclkuiiun, however, convinces 9m? that this war, must cease at some tftna ar tbat a p mission will probably be a first step to this end. In < s cvcr-H no <.-c can rob Mr. Ford of the prestige that will come from the fact that ho was perhaps first to take the initiative in this direction and, to use his own words, get the warring u lions “talking peace ns a step in the direction toward their thinking peace.” • | .

Ai. Unusual Nuniber of Humorous Cartoons-and ’<.crcMir.g Photographs Just now when the problem of Christmas gifts is in the air, a suggestion contained in a letter from cur daily mail, wifi ii is typical of hundreds received yearly, will be of interest. “I receive your paper each year as a Christmas present, and. count x ii the most satisfactory of cl! my gifts. I Sm a church worker and find the pages of religious and social work very interesting and helpful. I find your book reviews helpful in s. ajcting the books I need for my work, for in no other publication can I get the information in so-compactform. To me THE LITERARY DIGEST is not just a paper or a magazine, but it is A an institution which has its place in the life of every community. I know a doctor who likes it because of its medical news; a hi ;h school boy who reads it for the Avar news; a banker who depends upon it on questions of finance; while there are any number of other*people with whom I cOme in contact who read it because of its intense human interest, it being, in fact, a sublimated newspaper.” If you are not reading THE LITERARY DIGEST let us suggest that you become acquainted with it this week. You are really missing one of the most helpful and time-saving aids to a quick understanding of the thought and progress of the world. \ | At AM News-dealers, To-Day, 10 Cents FUNK & WAGNALLS COMPANY (Publishers of the Famous NEW Standard Dictionary), NEW YORK

■*>«-. ■ ii —.inim—f* . —. i 11 i— » —an— wcwt ; Jump from Bed in Morning and Drink Hot Water Tells why everyone should drink hot water each morning before breakfast Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, despondent, worried; some days headachy, dull and unstrung; some days really incapacitated by illness. If we all would practice inside-bath-ing, what a gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy completions we should see crowds of happy, healthy, rosycheeked people everywhere. The reason is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under our present modo of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the system nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out, else it ferments and forms ptomaine-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood. , Just as necessary as it is to clean I the ashes from the Arnace each day, I before the fire will burn bright and I Lot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous day’s accumulation of indijnmiblo waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well, are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with a teaspobnful of limestone phosphate in it, as a harm- I less means of washing out of the I stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels the I indigestible material, waste, sour bile end toxins; thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomacn, Milltons of people who had the.r turn I at constipation, bilipus attacks, acid I stomach, nervous days and sleepless I nights have become real cranks about I the morning inside-bath. A quarter | pound of limestone phosphate will not i cost much at the drug store, but is ' sufficient to demonstrate to anyone, , its cleansing, sweetening and freshen- I ing effect upon the system.
