Washington.—In a small, unpre-
tentious house, 1308 Twentieth street,
In this city, Mrs. Edith Bolling Galt,
widow, will be married Saturday, De-
cember 18, to Woodrow Wilson, wid-
ower and president of tho United
States.
Not since the marriage of President
John Tyler to Miss Julia Gardiner has
there been, a wedding of a president
marked by such extreme quiet and se-
clusivencss as is to be the case at
this wedding which will Join the Wil-
son and the Galt families. President
Tyler went to New York to be mar-
ried to Miss Gardiner and there at the
Church of the Ascension in the pres-
ence ot only a handful of persons he
took unto himself his second wife. At
the coming wedding of another presi-
dent of the United States there will be
i present no persons except those of the
'immediate families of the two con-
| trading parties.
Only one cabinet officer, Mr. Mc-
!Adoo, will witness the ceremony, and
he not by right of his official position,
1 but because he is the son-in-law of the
. president, having married Mr. Wilson's
| youngest daughter. When Grover
Cleveland was married in the White
1 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
I of government. President Wilson and
! Mrs. Galt have decreed that their
I union shall be wholly a family affair.
1 Relatives Only to Bs Present.
| Mrs. Galt will be attended by her
i alster, Miss Bertha Bolling of this
| city. Even with the guests limited to
! the members ot the families of the
i president and his bride-to-be the ca-
■ paclty of the parlors In the modest
i Galt home will be taxed, for both the
1 principals have many close relatives.
! To witness the ceremony and to
I give congratulations to the newly mar-
1 ried ones these persons, among other
kinsfolk, will be present: Miss Mar-
garet Wilson, the president’s eldest
daughter; Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre
of Wllliamstown, Mass., the president’s
second daughter; Mrs. William G. Me-
Adoo, the president’s third daughter;
Mrs. Anne Howe of Philadelphia, the
president’s sister; Joseph R. Wilson of
Baltimore, the president’s brother;
Miss Helen Woodrow Bones, the presi-
dent’s cousin, and several other close
relatives ot the president’s family.
Mrs. Galt, who, before her first mar-
riage was Miss Edith Bolling of Vir-
ginia, has several brothers and Bisters,
all of whom will attend the wedding.
Mrs. Galt’s mother, Mrs. William H.
Bolling, is living and makes her home
with her daughter. Mrs. Galt’s sisters
who will be in attendance are Miss
Bertha Bolling of Washington and
Mrs. II. II. Maury of Auuiston, Ala.
Her brothers, all of whom will at-
tend, are John Randolph Bolling, Rich-
ard W. Bolling, Julian B. Bolling, all
of Washington; R. E. Bolling of Pana-
ma and Dr. W. A. Bolling of Louis-
ville, Ky.
To Avoid Big Crowd.
Up to the very last moment it ie
probable that the exact hour of the
wedding ceremony will be kept a se
cret. The desire Is to prevent the
gathering of a huge crowd about the
Galt residence. As soon as the cere-
mony is over and the members of the
family have congratulated the bride
and groom, the newly married onei
will leave for the South on a honey
moon trip which probably will last un
till the first week in January. The
president and his bride must be back
in Washington before January 7 in or-
dor to act as host and hostess at
great reception to be given in the
White House to the Pan-American rep
resentatives In the capital, and, more
over, because congress by that time
will have reconvened after the Christ
mas holidays and Mr. Wilson must b
back at his desk.

a bouquet of orchids, which Mr. Wil-
son found out long ago to be her fa-
vorite 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
perfectly gowned women
Sho Is a handsome
always dresses In exqui-
site taste. Her gowns always have
been choBen with rare caro 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 discern-
ment. Mrs. Galt’s trousseau already
has arrived in Washington. Its selec-
tion was a matter of months and some
controversies arose as to what might
he called its origin. There were
stories to the effect that French sup-
ply houses resented supplying any-
thing through German-Amertcan mid-
dle men. Most of the stories were
baseless, and it can be said that al-
most wholly Mrs. Galt’s wedding out-
fit Is of American origin.
Reaume White House Functions.
Dark green and orchid are the pre-
dominating hues In the gowns of the
bride-to-be, for, as has been said,
orchids are Mrs. Galt’s favorite flow-
ers. There are traveling gowns, street
gowns, and evening gowns, the latter
of which will be seen throughout the
coming winter when the White House
Ib to be reopened for a series of old-
time entertainments. The four great
official receptions, wh*ch were omitted
last winter, will be resumed, and there
will be afternoon teas and many mu-
sicals.
President Wilson is the sixth presi-
dent of the United States to marry a
widow. Washington, Jefferson, Madi-
son, Fillmore and Benjamin Harrison
married widows, in one or two cases
the widow being the second wife of
the president. John Tyler and Theo-
dore Roosevelt each married the sec-
ond time, but their wives had not be-
fore been wedded.
It is not necessary to speak of
George Washington’s marriage. The
world knows of his courtship, engage-
ment and wedding. HiB love was "the
widow Curtis.” Thomas Jefferson, at
the home of a friend, John Wayles,
met Martha Skelton, Wayles’ widowed
daughter. She was a beautiful wom-
and and much sought after, but Jef-
ferson finally won her heart.
Beautiful Dolly Madison.
It Is pogslble that Dolly Madison,
the wife of President James MadUon,
Is, in a way, better known to Ameri-
cans than any other wife of a presi-
dent except, of course, Martha Wash-
ington.
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
president nine children. Just before
her husband was elocted vies presi-
dent of the United States Mrs. Tyler
had a stroke of paralysis, and a short
time after he succeeded William Hen-
ry Harrison as president she died, the
death occurring in the White House.
The second winter after the death
of Mrs. Tyler the president met Julia,
the 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
quietly at the Church of the Ascend
aion in New York city.
The Cleveland Marriage.
Grover Cleveland did not marry un-
til fairly late In life. He married
Frances Folsom, the daughter of his
law partner, whom he had known
she was a little girl at an age
she had called him "Uncle
Cleve." Mr. Cleveland and Miss Fol-
som were married in the Blue room at
the White Houae.
For a long time it was thought that
President Wilson would be married
in the White House. For some reason
or other people took It for granted
that Mrs. Galt would prefer a cere-
mony in the executive mansion. From
the point of view of womankind it
seemingly Is a compelling thing to he
able to speak of a White House wed-
ding as one of the participants. Mrs.
Galt, however, held to the thought that
a woman should bs married in her
own home rather than In that of her
husbaud. She did not believe in
breaking the American home prece-
lent in such matters, a world’s prece-
tent In fact. Washington generally
mneedes that she showed good taste
quick determination that her
iwn houae should be the neene ot the
veddlng.
The wedding of the president of the
United States to Mrs. Gelt will be la
detail and surroundings a most simple
affhtr. It will be in keeping with tra-
ditional American simplicity la oasts

PROPER CARE OF THE LAWN
Grass Plat Must Never Bs Neglected
If Hems le to Have a Proper
Appearance.
One of the most important duties
on the home place daring the summer
Is the care of the lawn. There la
nothing about a place that makes so
much for general attractiveness as a
well cared for lawn.
Many people make the miatake of
keeping the lawn cut too close. In
that case the grasB roots are exposed
to hot sun and drying winds during
the summer. Cut the lawn frequently,
but do not set the machine too close.
To keep the lawn locking cloan at all
times have a grass-catcher attachment
on the mower; A careful watch for
weeds on the lawn should be kept.
Cut them out well below the surface
with an old knife as soon os they are
large enough to bs seen.
A roller on the lawn Is advisable,
but it should be used with care.
Lawns that have been rolled for a long
time are likely to become overrolled;
there Is surface cohesion or dose-
packing of the top soil, which prevents
the admission of air and healthy root
development. The remedy Is the inn
of the spiked tamper. A home-made
one may be made by taking a piece of
two-lnoh plank,) some 12xi2-lnch tim-
ber and Inserting four-inch spikes an
inch and a half or two Inches apart.
Ittle smaller than the
ivlng them In, to pro-
he wood. Perforate
ice thoroughly with
dressing, lightly rake
the whole thoroughly
