Every Common Day

Every common day Of our lives is clasp
ed and jeweled with love,
The stars OF night are beneath it. the
morning stars above
The peace of God broods on it. as a bird
on the nest she built
And over its weariest moments the music
of hope is split.
So when my work is finished, and 20
to God with my wage
I wonder If He can give me a Heavenlier
heritage
Than to feel that each day that I live Is
clasped and jeweled with love,
With the stars Of night beneath it and
the morning stars above.

it Is well remembered that the presi-
dent and Mrs. Grant and the brothers
and sisters Of the bride accompanied
the newly married couple to New York
to see them set sail for England.
The most recent wedding in the
White House was that Of President
Cleveland and Miss Frances Folsom,
who became one Of the most dearly be-
loved mistresses this famous home has
ever had. They were married in the
blue parlor, June 2, 1886. There was
but small company present, and the
bride came down from New York &C
companied by her mother for the oc-
casion. ...s
Miss Roosevelt.
Miss Alice Roosevelt is slender
young woman, Of medium height, with
blue eyes, fair complexion and light
brown hair. She is not beautiful, nor
is she handsome-in the accepted mean
ing of those words. Nor can it be said
that she is plain looking. She is typi-
cal American young woman, and in ap-
pearance not unlike scores of young
women whom one may see on the
streets and in the shops daily dur
ing this busy holiday buying sea-
son. She is unpretentious in de-
meanor, with modesto we'll cultivated
tastes, but thoroly enjoys good time
! She likes riding, driving, automobiling,
going to the races, watching football
game, and if she were man she would
be famous hunter, for she is very like
her distinguished father in being fond
of outdoor life. She is like him, too,
in having mind Of her own, and in
being able, on occasion, to stand up for
her rights. She has good deal Of her
fathers intellectual keenness and de-
termination, and is a sparkling CONVEX
sationalist in the circle Of, her close
friends, where she feels that she can
throw off reserve. Her education has
Ibeen carefully attended to, and she has
added to her other accomplishments a
thoro knowledge Of French and Ger
man. She would not be typical Roose-
welt if she did not have a liking for
l general literature. She is we'll read in

the few young women Of her set who
betrays no weakness in the direction of

been too much for many a girl as well
intentioned as she, but less firm Of pur-
pose and strong of character. She is
not robust physically, and so, from time
to time, in order to get away from the
social strain Of the White House,
which, as the president IS daughter, she
could not avoid, if present, she has made
it a practice 10 go to the homes Of
relatives in New York and New Eng
land, for rest and recuperation. These
trips were frequently made on the adj
vice, of the family physician, who was
fearful that her health might be per-
manently impaired unless she were
careful. The trip to the far east tested
her strength quite to the limit, and
shortly after her return there were ru-
mors Of more or less complete nervous
breakdown. Happily, these proved to
be unfounded. A stay Of a couple Of
weeks at the country home Of an aunt
in New York, and close following Of
the DOCTORS advice, restored her buoy.
ancy and brought back the color to her
face.
Miss Roosevelt, like her father, is
very practical by nature, and despises
all shams, and for the highly artificial
society of the natural capital, with its
exacting and frequently onerous duties
and responsibilities, she had little lik-
ing. 1t was at times against her per-
sonal will that she made herself a part
Of it. Obviously, however, as the
daughter of the president, there were
always social obligations which she had
to meet as long as she was in the city,
and this fact made her the more in
clined to visit friends and relatives at
distance, where she could be her own
independent self. She will make an
ideal wife, for she is domestic to the
last degree, and is never SO contented
as when she is surrounded by a few
select friends in the seclusion Of a pri-
vate home.
Her Betrothal Ring.
Miss Roosevelt has yet not received
| an informal engagement ring from her
iance, Representative Nicholas Long
worth, and has decided that she does
not wish one, no matter how anxious
he is in the matter.
That does not mean that she does
not wear ring given her by Mr.
Longworth, for some time ago he placed
one on her finger, which belonged, to
his grandmother, It is a magnificent
solitaire sapphire in antique setting OF
gold. - ~" :,
Since the engagement was announced
the couple have received invitations al
1 most without number to entertainments
| planned to celebrate the event. Except
1 in case of intimate friends such invita-
tions have been and will continue to b,
declined. It is probable that Mrs
Longworth will entertain for them, pre-
sumably at a dinner some time nexi
week. -...-,ss... .-. ~
