of her aunt, now Mrs. VIM. C. Cowless,
and the affection which grew up be-
tween them has strengthened with the
years.
New Mother Loves Her.
When Alice was three years old The
odore Roosevelt married Miss Edith
Kermit Carow, who very soon learned
to love as her W child the motherless
little one. The tender sympathy exist
ing between Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs.
Cowles has a natural explanation,
therefore, for both have the same deer
affection for the girl who became a
bride today. Miss Alice's girlhood was
spent in New York and Boston, and
was not unlike the schoolgirl and acad-
emic years of the ordinary child of
wealth. The Astor and Vanderbilt
children were her associates, and as
she inherited a comfortable fortune
from her mother and had prospects"
of a great deal more from other rela-
tives, her position was assured, even
had her father never become president
or the idol of American people.

same year, by special invitation from
the emperor of Germany, she christen-
ed the royal yacht Meteor" Since
then her career has been one success
sion of social triumphs. Fashions have
been made and unmade by her fancies
in dress; emperors and kings have sued
for her favors and today the civilized
world bows before the orange blossoms
and the white veil she has taken in
the name Of Longworth.
Sketch of Mr.. Longworth.
Longworth is al honored name in
Cincinnati. The grandfather of the
present Nicholas founded the family
fortune. He was a landowner and wine
grower and modern viticulturists are
indebted to him for many of his early
efforts which are gratefully acknowl-
edged in publications of the department
of agriculture. The bridegroom of to-
day was born in Cincinnati on Novem-
Der 5, 1869. The honored name and the
family fortune were there when he ar
rived.
He has done nothing to dim the
fame, nor has he made any effort to dis
sipate the fortune. His career has been
an agreeable one. He found the way
to prestige already paved for him.
Wealth, social standing, and political
preferment have been his without the
asking. He attended the Cincinnati
public schools, then went to Harvard.

in college he was distinguished more
as a musicion than as a student, al
though proficient in a general way. He
belonged to the glee club in his junior
year, and with it made a tour of the
United States, his talent as a violinist
bringing him encomiums everywhere.
Music Is yet his passion, and perhaps
the most priced of his possessions, save
only the fair woman whom he made his
bride today, is a genuine Stradivarius,
which he discovered in Cincinnati and
on which he extemporizes in a manner
that marks the born musician.
1t was his election to congress that
opened the door to the one real love
affair of Nicholas L~ongworth's life. Be-
fore taking his seat he paid a visit to
Washington, principally to get his bear
ings and to learn his future duties.
President Roosevelt, whose ~acquaint-
ance he had previously made, invited
him to dine at the White house. 1t was
at this time that he first saw Miss AL
ice.
