hCrand white House Wedding in Mid
February-CuImination of Romance
Relieved to Have Occurred on Ocean
Voyage.
There is to be another wedding in the
White House, and society at the capt.
tai is already looking forward to what
undoubtedly viii be the most brilliant
event in the history of the mansion.
1t Is just about two years since Rep
resentative Nicholas Longworth, of
Cincinnati, began to lay siege to the
heart OF the charming daughter of the
President, and his attack has been I'M
remitting. Now he has captured the
heart of Miss Alice, and will lead her
to the altar In mid-February.
Several times during the last year
Mr. LongyoEth.s -epagaement to Miss
Roosevelt was rumored but it was
never confirmed, and tbr social world
began to conclude thata warm friend
ship was about all that eisted between
them.
Chance of Lifetime.
1t was when Miss Roosevelt deter
mined to accompany Secretary Taft's
party to the Orient that Mr.. Longworth
apparently saw his browning opportu-
nifty. and he forthwith became one Of
the party. Throughout the jaunt his
attentions to the daughter of the Pres
1dent were more marked than ever be
fore, for in his wooing he had the adj
vantage of being the only courtier in
the field.
Though his friends now say that
they had observed the CLINT of a glori-
GUS victory in his eyes when he re-
turned from the long voyage, he never
confided his triumph to soul, and the
first information of the engagement
did not reach society until Mrs. Roose-
welt told it to few personal friends in
the White House. Then, of course, So
ciety soon heard of it.
Will Tour Europe.
1t Is expected that after their mar
rage the distinguished couple will take
a leisurely trip throughout Europe
They will, Of course, be certain Of a
splendid reception everywhere, espe-
cially in all the capitals of the Old
World.
Miss Roosevelt has never been in
Europe, although she has had several
opportunities and invitations. notably
when she was invited by Mrs. White
law Reid when Mr.. Reid went to Eng
land as special ambassador at the cor.
onation Of King Edward.
In Paris, too, the Longworths are |
certain Of lavish entertainment, as Mr. |
Longworth's sister, the Viscountess de |
-Chambrun, lives there.
Miss Roosevelt, who is the only child |
of the Presidents first marriage, will
be twenty-five years old in February,
and is named for her mother, Alice
Lee, of Boston, to whom the President
became engaged in his college days at
Harvard, and whom he married in
1883.
On the death Of her mother, one year
after the latter's marriage, Miss Roose.

date she has enjoyed a succession of
attentions never before offered any
American girl.

Mitchell, of Oregon. Yet there is no
body of men on earth which is a great.
er stickler for ceremony governed by
precedent than is the United States
Senate. But the Mitchell case pre-
scented a unique situation. The official
| recognition of the death of a Senator
| is always a solemn and affecting pro-
ceeding, but even the usual funeral
rites were omitted in this instance.
The Oregon Senator had been convict
ed of a grave crime against the gov
eminent. Excepting Senator Burton,
OF Kansas, no other members of the
Senate has ever had to face criminal
court trial. The Senate has expelled
members and has often exercised its
constitutional prerogative of unseating
a Senator, but with the two exceptions
above stated, it has never been con-
fronted with such situation as was
forced upon the public attention by
Senators from Oregon and Kansas.
The Vice-President, who is the
President of the Senate, did not APP
point the usual committee to attend
the funeral held in Portland, Ore.
Senator Fulton, the sole representative
of Oregon left in Congress, had intend
ed presenting a brief resolution, re-
citing the death of his colleague, and
asking that the Senate adjourn as a
mark of respect, but even this was not
done. Not even was the desk which
the late Senator occupied yelled in the
heavy mourning drapery as Is the GUS
tom. In word. the Senate. in sad.
ness, passed over the death of its for
mer Senator as quietly and unostenta-
tiously as possible There have been
no eulogies. His successor, appoint

ocrat, comes to Washington from the
