Until recently the young man was
/ employed as "A hand" in Counecti-
cut carpet factory, and, after brief
! honeymoon in the south with his
bride will go to San Francisco to take
| charge OF a branch office of a manu-
| featuring company. The bride, while
charming and pretty, and doubtless
the most remarkable girl in the world
in the eyes Of her young husband, Is
neither wealthy nor distinguished in
society.
Public interest in the wedding is
due to the fact that the bridegroom,
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., is the son of
his father, who with Mrs. Roosevelt,
Mrs Longsworth and other members
of the Roosevelt family, was present
at today's ceremony. The new Mrs.
Roosevelt was Miss Eleanor Butler
Alexander, the only daughter of Mrs.
Henry Addison Alexander As the
home of the latter is too small for so
large affair, the reception will be held
at the spacious town house of her
brother, c. b. Alexander, in West
Fifty-eighth street.

ginning at the bottom, clad in over
| alls, sorting wool, and working his
way up through practically every de-
partment of the business. So rapid
was his progress that the company ap.
pointed him as their district manager
for the Pacific Coast and he will as
sumo his new duties as soon as the
honeymoon is over.

and depended on its long graceful
lines for much of its charm, although
some wonderful old family point lace,
which her mother, Mrs Henry Addi-
son Alexander, treasures highly be-
adorned it. The lace was used on the
bodice and sleeves.
