ter of Theodore Roosevelt, is expect
ed soon. Althou Oh the fact of the
engagement has been confirmed. the
name of the fortunate man could not

About year ago rumor linked

Sunday.
Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., said that
he could not discuss the report, but did
not deny that his sister was engaged.
He would not say to whom, but inti-
mated that an announcement would be
made soon.
Early in 1909 Miss Roosevelt was
reported as engaged to William Phil

who then was in the State Depart
