On Monday, the attorney general and
Mrs. Knox celebrated the twenty-fifth an
1liversary Of their marriage. The occasion
was marked by a large dinner party, to
which all their friends now in Palm Beach
and adjacent resorts were invited. AS all
the children Of the attorney general are
scattered in different parts Of this country
and Europe, it was determined not to have
the family celebration until Easter-tide,
when all the younger Knoxes. except Miss
Rebekkah, will be gathered under the roof
tree at Valley Forge. Mr.. and Mrs. Knox
were married in Pittsburg on Feb. 20, 1880,
and the union has been ideally happy.
There are four children, Miss Rebekkah
Page, who is named for her paternal
grandmother; Reed called for the Junior
partner of the law firm, Knox & Reed;
Hugh and Phadner c. Knox, Jr. Miss
Knox is travelling in Europe, Reed is a
gentleman farmer at Valley Forge, Hugh
is at Yale and young "Phil is attending
a private school here, with Archibald
Roosevelt as his running mate. Mrs.
Roosevelt keeps an eye on young "Phlp'
during his parents absence, and every day,
he reports at the White House in company
with "Archie." Mr.. and Mrs. Knox will
leave Florida next week. The attorney
general will come direct to Washington
and Mrs. Knox will go to the farm.
