TOOK TRAIN TO HOT SPRINGS Ceremony Performed by Brlde'e Pastor Honeymoon Will Be Spent In Mo toring and Walking Over Mountain Trails In Virginia. Western Newspjxr Union News SktIc. Washington, D. C President Wilson and Mrs. Edith Boiling Gait wero mar ried at 8:30 o'clock Saturday night and loft immediately afterward to Bpond their honeymoon at Hot Springs, Va. Tho president and his brldo trav eled In a prlvato car attached to a spe cial train loaving horo at 11:10 o'clock. Shortly after 10 o'clock tho president and Mrs. Wilson entered a waiting Whito House automobile and motored to Alexandria, Va., across tho Poto mac, to take their privato car and avoid tho crowd at the railroad sta tion in this city. At Hot Springs Mr. and Mrs. Wilson will llvo at the Homestead hotel until after New Year's day, unless some de velopment should necessitate tho pres ident's earlier return to tho capital. Autos Sent on Ahead. Two of tho Whlto House automobiles had been sent on ahead, and the" cou ple expect to spend their honeymoon motoring, golfing and walking over tho mountain trails. Besides the secret servlco guard, tho party was accom panied by ono photographer. Thd pres ident will keep in touch with tho White House over special wires. Because tho hour of tho wedding was known to comparatively fow persons, thoro was not a largo crowd in the vicinity of tho brldo's homo, although a largo police guard had been provldod. All arrangements for tho wedding ceremony were carried out perfectly, the president arriving at his bride's homo soon after 8 o'clock, and tho remainder of tho party, which num bered less than thirty, following soon after. - Tho co'remony was begun as had been arranged at 8 o'clock and was fol lowed by a buffet luncheon. Mrs. Wil son was married in tho traveling gown she woro to the train. Marked by Simplicity. After the president and his bride had departed Secretary Tumulty mado this formal statement on the cere mony: "Tho wedding was marked with sim plicity. It was just such a wedding as might have taken place in the home of tho humblest American citizen." Tho prayer book which tho officiat ing clergyman used once was tho prop erty of the late Judge William H. Boil ing, of Virginia, father of the brldo, and was used at her request. Several guests added to tho list at tho last moment included Prof. Stockton, Ax son, a brother of tho lato Mrs. Wilson; A. Boiling Gait, Mr. and Mrs. Sterling Gait, the former a brother of Mrs. Wil son's first husband, and Mrs. Tumujty, tho wife of Secretary Tumulty. Ono of tho added guests was Matilda Brax ton, an aged negro mammy of Wieth villo, who has been a servant in tho bride's family all her life. Tho ruse by which tho wedding party got away to Alexandria was complete. When the Whlto Houbo automobile pulled away from Mrs. Wilson's house lines of police blocked pursuit in all the adjoining streets. At tho union sta tion tho presidential entrance was ful-, ly lighted and lines of police wore spread all about. Those who wero at tracted to tho railroad station by the show of preparations were disappoint ed, whllo the president and Mrs. Wil son woro speoding to the station across the river ten miles away. Weather Clears for the Event. Tho president dined as usual at the Whlto House at 7 o'clock with his daughters and afterward drove to his J brldo's home, about a mllo from the ox oxutivo mansion. A cold, driving rain, which swept the city all day, cleared off at sunset, and the evening was cool and pleasant. Because the wedding arrangements and the hour of tho cere mony had been kept a close secret, thero were few on the streets about the Whito House, but near tho bride's home tho crowd was hold back by po lice lines spread during tho nftornoon. Everything was in readiness for tho ceremony when tho prosldent nrrLved, and It proceeded without music. Neith er tho president nor Mrs. Gait had any attendants, and there woro no ushers or flower girls. Neither tho army, tho navy nor the diplomatic corps was represented, and tho occasion was es sentially what both of tho couple had wished It to bo a home wedding. Decorations of Home. On the first floor of tho brldo's homo In two communicating rooms a wed ding bower had been arranged with a background of farloyanse and maiden hair ferns, which extended from tho floor to -tho celling. Overhead there was a canopy of green In tho form of a shell lined with Scotch heather. In tho background and at the center was placed a large mirror framed with or chids and reflecting tho scone. Above the mirror was a spray of orchids across a background of ferns, and tho corners of tho canopy woro caught with orchids. American Beauty roses were on both sides of tho canopy, bo- LLLLLLLLLLMVBiaiBiLLviffioHr j SEmj TlslHBeHBeBflQBfleVMBeBBsBBMlBBvVNfeJ & sdfci, ?r'9eKBBflBBftjBijm President and Mrs. Wilson. neath which was a prayer rug on which President Wilson and Mrs. Gait knolt during tho coromony. Just at tho hour for the ceremony tho president and his bride appeared at the head of the staircase, which was decorated with ferns, asparagus vines and American Beauty roses. They de scended to tho lower floor, whore the guests wero grouped about informally. Brief and Simple Service. Rev. Herbert Scott Smith, rector of St. Margaret's Protestant Episcopal church, of which tho brldo is a corat municant, was waiting beneath the. canopy to perform the ceremony, and with him, to assist, was tho president's pastor, Rev. James H. Taylor, of tho Central Presbyterian church. Mrs. William H. Boiling, tho bride's mother, gavo her away. Tho president stood to tho right of the clergymen and tho bride stood on their left. At once Dr. Smith began tho words of tho Episcopal marriage service, tho presi dent making his responses first, and then the bride making hers. After tho brldo promised to "love, cherish and obey," tho president placed tho wed ding ring, a plain band' of gold, upon her finger and then, after a prayer, and while thp couplo clasped their right hands together, Dr. Smith de clared them husband and wife. Tho briof and Bimplo ceremony was over. The entlro party then turned to tho dining room, where a buffet supper was served. Tho decorations thero wore in pink and on the buffets wero banked growing ferns and pink roses. Tho tables wero decorated with Lady Stan ley rose blossoms. On a table in the center was the wedding cakq a fruit cake of several layers high, ornament ed with sprays of pink orchids on tho center. Mrs. Wilson cut tho cako with out formality and no arrangement was mado for bostowlng bits of It upon oth ers than those in tho wedding party. Her Wedding Gown. During tho ceremony and the lunch eon afterward, during which a string orcheptra played, the brido wore her traveling dress, a black silk velvet gown with a picture hat 'of black beav er with no trimming whatever except one feather slightly upturned on tho left Bide.
