ing upon his own initiative and at his

which he had loved Sc well and sd hero
ically."

Whether on the field Of arms or the
field Of diplomacy. he has always de-
served well Of the American people.
1t is not too much to say that since
the days Of Benjamin Franklin we have
not been more successfully, effectively
or brilliantly represented at Paris than
by HIM This resolution, however, deals
with patriotic, unscllisi and an
unique service outside the line Of of
sIcial obligation or duty.

foreign rulers to send no gifts. Such
a discourteous proceeding has never
even been contemplated. !. If, however,

it will place the president and the flu

ing position Of having to return such
generosity when any of the crowned
heads wed. In this country, the presi7

WORLDS EYES ON MISS ALICE
Unprecedented Interest in Bride-Elee
and Her Trousseau. . d.

New York Herald Special Service.
New. York, Feb. 10.-The coming we'd
ding Of Miss Alice Roosevelt to Nicho-
las Longworth has aroused intense in
terest and eager expectation all over
the United States, and in many CAPT
tails in the world. q
In this county there Is hardly aNwo-
man, and certainly not a girl, who does
not want to know all about it. The
reason is not far to seek. Miss Alice is
regarded as a typical American girl.
She stands in the high light reflected by
her father IS position, and, moreover,
her unquestioned social standing gives
the glamor Of society to an event which
ordinarily might simply be widely no.
ticed because of the political standing
of the families concerned.
In feminine way she appears to
have the same characteristics as have
made her father popular as man. She
| makes friends wherever: she goes. She
has been about in society considerably,
often before she came to the White
House. She had been in Albany when
her father was governor, and she had
borne herself we'll there. She is Of dis
tinguished appearance; at the same
time, she has certain dash and swing
about her that enables her to carry all
before her. Since her father became
president she has been much Of trav-
eler and a great visitor.
President and the Wedding.
A busy man is the president, but in
the hurry and hustle Of house affairs
and the furry Of preparations for the
event-and it has involved an immense
amount of thought and planning he
has had time to talk matters over with
his wife and daughter. It may be said
that all the arrangeme nts for the affair
have been made by the president and
Mrs. Roosevelt, and that there never
was a girl married whose parents
showed more interest in her, wedding
altho Mrs. Roosevelt is not Miss Alice
} mother. Tt has been remarkedin Wash.
ington that the president s wife could
, not have shown deeper interest in this

and compatible with the Importance at

i The international character of tn
affair is shown by the fact that tw

Cuba, have taken official notice Of tn
event, and the kaiser personally j.

this, but the presents from France an
I Cuba are Of great value, costing $25

The French gift is a large and bea,

Gusts in Egypt, only more so. So when
it came to intimate friends, Miss Alice
had made out the greatest list you
ever saw. -; "a ~
It she were to walk up the aisle with
twenty-five bridesmaids it would be
considered ostentatiohs, and yet if she
had chosen twenty five there would
have been seventy five intimate friends
with hurt feelings, because they were
left out in the cold. That is the rea-
son why she has decided to have no
bridesmaids at all, and even her own
sister, Ethel, who was to have attended
her as a flower girl, appears to be on
sea of uncertainty about it.
Officials Had to Be Asked. III. +.
But if Miss Alice s list was in some
respects too long, it was in others too
short. When her father, who had gone
at the long list with the ''big stick, :"
looked over what remained. he found
that lot of people whom he felt
obliged to ask on account Of his official
position, had been omitted from the
original. There may have been dozen
and some pouting on somebody's part,
longs as much to his party and country
as to his family, and there are people
whose feelings must not be hurt, even
on the daughter IS wedding day, and
even if she wants to cut them out Of
her list Of acquaintance. And so polit-
ical, state and social reasons governed
the final shaping Of the list, whether
Miss Alice was willing or not. That is
one of the disadvantages of being a
daughter Of a president Of the United
! States and a White House bride.
Her Wedding Gown.
| When Miss Alice stands at the altar
she will wear one Of the handsomest
country. In regard to the gown, she
will wear she has had to put up with
some disappointment and for the same
reason that affected her wedding list
her fathers public position.
When she was in the east with the
/ Taft party, she had presented to her
by the empress dowager of China, orien
tai stuffs as beautiful as those worn by
the queen Of Sheba herself before Solo
mon. They were such stuffs as no on
could have bought in Europe, sucl
stuffs even as money cannot buy ii
China. Naturally she twas anxious t,
utilize these exquisite stuffs for he
wedding dress and she had so planned
it and even had had the design for he
I costume worked out for her. AS soo1
as the president heard Of this, however
he exercised his veto prerogative an,
put an end to her dream Of being mar
ried in the richest stuffs the world ha
4 produced.
4 The wedding has become nationa
affair against his wishes, but he ha
good naturally acquiesced in the inter
. est manifested turnout the county, a.
interest which he appreciates as bein
due to his own popularity and to hi
daughters charm.
Must Wear an American Gown.
fortunately, when he put the matte
before Miss Alice, she saw the Wisdol

i with him that the daughter Of the pre-
4 ident Of the United States must b
married in a gown wholly made in th
