Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt.

Colonel Roosevelt has been married
twice, the first Mrs. Roosevelt having
died three years after her marriage.
Mrs. Nicholas Longworth, the Alice
Roosevelt of White House days, is the
daughter of this union.
The present Mrs. Roosevelt was Miss
Edith Kermit Carow. Rather above
medium height, she has a graceful car
riage and intelligent features.
Her marriage was the crowning of
childhood romance. Born in New
York city, Edith Carow's home was
not far from the Roosevelts. Her ia
ther was Charles Carow, son of Isaac
Carow of the bygone generation of
wealthy shipowners and merchants,
and her mothers maiden name was
Gertrude Tyler. One of Mr. Roose-

There are five candidates for presi

All Happily Married.

One of the chief glOries of American
public life is that. almost without an
exception, our presidents and other Off
cials all down the line have been men
with spotless private lives and happy
homes. The air of scandal found about
so many European courts is well nigh
absent here. Whatever may be said
about the divorce evil as it affects
Americans generally, it never touches
the White House and is scarcely to be
found in the official circle at Washing
ton.
Mrs. Taft has now been mistress of
the White House about three years
and half. Unfortunately her health
has not always been the best and this
has hampered her in exercising the
Onerous duties of her station. Sh
went to the White House exceptionally
well equipped for her new sphere. As
Miss Helen Heron of Cincinnati she
had been entertained at Washington
by Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes, who was
related to Judge Heron, Mrs. Tafts
father. She saw much of official So
ciety when her husband was solicitor
