gives Mr.. Hinton power to take evil

for this action is that it is practically

MISS ALICE VEDS SOON
PRESIDENT ANNOUNCES THE
MARRIAGE OF HIS DAUGH.
TER FOR FEBRUARY.
LONG ROMANCE AT An END.
Nicholas Longworth Wins Bride
After Four Years of Devo-
tion,
LONG ROMANCE AT An END.

WASHINGTON, Dec lS--The Prssi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt made formal
announcement late this afternoon OF
the engagement Of their daughter,
Alice Lee, to Nicholas Longworth Of
Cincinnati, representative in Con.
gress from the first district Of Ohio.
1t was announced also that the we'd
ding will take place about the middle
of February. While arrangements
for the wedding have not been made
it Is probable itwiil occur at the White
House.
The announcement has been expect
ed by the friends OF the young people,
and has been predicted since the re-
turn Of the Taft partyfrom the Philip
pines. 1t was said to-day, however,
that the date for the wedding, has
been decided only since Sun day
Miss Roosevelt, according to her
close friends, has been willing to
marry Mr.. Longworth, bat she was
not willing to have the event placed
at less than two months away.
WEDDING TRIP TO EUROPE.
She is eager to take a trip to Eu-
rope, and this desire win no doubt be
realized as a wedding journey. But
whether this jaunt win be taken I'M
mediately after the marriage or In the
later summer was not decided to-day.
Miss Roosevelt is anxious to have a
home wedding, although there is a
chance that St. Johns Church In this
city may be chosen for the ceremony.
In case this is done, Miss Roosevelt
will follow the precedent Of Nellie
Grants and Of Mrs Grover Clevelands
wedding.
The romance which has terminated
SO happily between Miss Rooseyeltand
Representative Longworth began the
night Of Miss Roosevelt's debut, when
the young member was among the
guests and among those who were at
tracted by the Presidents daughter.
He has been her devoted attendant
during four years, and there was no
mistaking his meaning.
ROMANCE is SEEN.
The first time Mr.. Longworth mani
tested any proprietary rights in his
prospective bride was during her visit
to the worlds fair lin St. Louis. Mr..
Longworth verys unceremoniously
Joined the party in st. Louis, and the
gilded youth Of that city we're kept at
a distance during this episode. II twas
admitted last spring that the Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelts approval Of
the match was shown by the fact that
they allowed their daughter to tmake
one OF Secretary Taft's party to the
Orient: Mr.. Longworth's devotion
during this long and trying journey
was constant.
Miss Roosevelt's visit to Mr.. Long
worth's home in Cincinnati, just be-
fore the trip to the Philippines, gave
impetus to the prediction Of what
would occur.
Miss Roosevelt will be p her next
birthday, Feb. IL, and it is thought
she will place her wedding date near
that date.
