MISS ALICE LEE ROOSEVELT.

only 20 years of age, and she has just
about as much idea of the responsible
tiles Of life as girl of 10. She has
never known care or worry, never
a sorrow, for the only sorrow that
could have Swallowed her life was the
death Of her mother, and that came
almost as soon AZ she was laid in her
fathers arms after birth, SO she never
knew her own mother. She was born
with a gold spoon in her mouth, and
has been carefully shielded and shell
tered all these two and 20 years, so
she may well shrink from shouldering
the cares Of home. But at last her
hand has been given where her heart
long ago went
"All the world loves a lover!" Yes.
and all the world rejoices when lover
and loved seem worthy, and certainly
these two do. Mr.. Longworth is a ia
vored son Of Ohio, his father. the late
Nicholas Longworth. one of the great
millionaires Of the West. The only son,
but there are two sisters of the Long
worth house, Mrs Wallingford, of Gin
ctnnati, and one who Is married to the
Count de Chambrun, of Paris,-it has
been stated with some show Of truth
that Miss Roosevelt might have been
the Countess de c. had she so elected
and then Mr.. Longworth's mother. one
Of the most charming society women,
who has made his home for him. She
is devoted to her very good-looking
son, and they do say that she adores
his soon-to- be-wife, which add to the
glamor of this National romance.
The future son-in-laW Of the Presi-
dent Is an enthusiastic lover Of out
door sports, as his splendid physical de-
velopment plainly indicates. He is an
expert on the golf links, a cross-coun-
try rider, a good marksman with shot
gun and rifle, delights In fishing, and
regularly attends football and baseball
games. At Harvard he was member
for one year of the varsity rowing
crew, and for three years subsequent
ly rowed in the class crew. He also
was a member Of the freshman class Of
the football team, and actively partic-
ipated in the promotion Of college ath-
lctics.
In his love for an outdoor life and
Of athletics of all kinds he will find a
charming comrade in his wife, for Miss
Alice is essentially child Of the SUM-
She lives outdoors as much as posi-
lie and is athletic as her f1ance. She
is a cross-country rider, and fond Of
fine horses. of which she is a competent
Judge, and already owns several.

this city, the somerset OF Boston, the
Queen City of Cincinnati. and the eX-
elusive Myonia Hunt Club Of Beverly,
Mass
He was born in Cincinnati sc years
ago, and received his primary educa-
ton In that city.
Mr.. Longworth possesses striking
and impressive individuality. His man.
ner is cordial. engaging, and affable,
and he converses with an emphasis
which is at once indicative Of superior
intelligence, while his features are we'll
defined. regular and clear-cut.
In dress he is not ostentatious, but
his clothes evidence a discriminating
taste which places him among the best
attired men of Congress.
