which centered about the marriage OF
Miss Roosevelt to Mr.. Longworth.

Washington is to see the wedding
of two young people who are very
much in love with each other. There
is not a whisper in any quarter that

Miss Root has always rather shun

Lieutenant Grant has never been any
too fond Of it. He is studious and sc
