President RooseveIt's marriage to Miss Carov
took place SO long ago-seventeen years ago. to be
exact-that few persons remember that the Amer

is. IL is said. the only American President whose
wedding was not celebrated under the Stars and

Tourists take great interest in the certificate IN

these persons were. They observe with pride that
the Canon OF York. and not a simple reverend
