YOUR WEDDING DAY
And the Famous Men and Women Who
Have Shared 1t.
BY MARY MARSHALL.
December 2-TheodoFe Roosevelt and
Edith Kermit Carow.

December ATheodoFe Roosevelt and
Edith Kermit Carow.
Il then believed and / now believe that
the greatest privilege and greatest duty
for any man is to be happily married
and that no other form of success or
service for either man or woman can
wisely be accepted as a substitute or al
Tentative" These words written In his
autobiography by Colonel Roosevelt in
riage show clearly this great mans opin-
ion on the subject OF his own and other
mems marriages.
Roosevelt himself was married when
he was twenty-five, shortly after leaving
college, and that he fully approves of
early marriages he plainly states in an
other part of his autobiography when he
says: women who preach late mar
riages are by just so much making II
difficult to better the standard of chas-
tity."
The first wife was Alice Hathaway Lee,
the mother of Mrs. Nicholas Longworth
She lived for but two years after hef
marriage, and at twenty-four young
Roosevelt was a widower. Two years
later, just thirty years ago today, he was
married again. The bride was Edith
Kermit Carow, of New York city, and
the place OF the marriage was London,
England.
1t would be hard to find a man in pub
lie life more happily married than Roose-
welt or one who had chosen for his life
mate woman more completely suitable
than is the case with Mrs. Roosevelt.
This was apparently not the result OF
mere chance, for, says the Colonel, "A
man must think well before he marries.
He must be a tender and considerate hus-
band and realize that there is no other
human being to whom he owes so much
of love and regard and consideration as
he does to the woman who with pain
bears and with labor rears the children
tl.at are his"
Another axiom Of Roosevelt's regarding
marriage that is worth quoting Is this:
whenever man thinks that he has
outgrown the woman who is his mate he
will do well carefully to consider whether
his growth has not been downward in
stead of upward; whether the facts are
not merely hat he has fallen away from
his wife's standard of refinement and
duty"

probably at no time in the history Of the
world have women led such multiform
lives.
Massage, as prscticed in Turkish bath
establishments. has little value. The ef-
feet produced lies in the exposure to ex-
treme heat: aside from its great sudorifio
value. the Turkish bath is marvelously
healing in all blood and nerve conditions.
and here rheumatism. gout. and the end
less nervous troubles we are noted for
will at once spring into the mind.
1t is said that facilities for the Turkish
bath can be placed in any home at a
comparatively moderate outlay. At any
rate. the benefit and luxury Of superheat-
ed air will be more generally sought after
when its value is better appreciated.
There will then be less drugging, OF which
there is so much among women particu-
larly for just those complaints that sap
the vitality and age US prematurely.
If the Turkish bath is in no way avail
able, the medicated hot baths so strongly
advocated in Germany for nervous and
rheumatic ills, can easily be taken at
home. The simplest OF these consists in
adding oil of turpentine to the bath.

partment officials that no immediate

The Germany admiralty has started an
Investigation. It wants to learn the rea-
sons Of the U-boat commander for be-
Eeying the Marina was in the admiralty
service. Formal announcement from Ber-
lin of all the facts of the case will be
held up until Ambassador Won Bernstorfr
forwards all the information he has col
Iected
Ambassador Won Bernstorfr told Secre-
tary Lansing that should it be decided
that the German submarine had made a
mistake in assuming the status of the
vessel. Germany would make full and
complete reparation In advance of any
demand by the United tates."
after the communication from Berlin
had arrived, Ambassador Won Bernstorff
went to the State Department for a con-
SultatiOn with the Secretary
Decisive steps toward the establishment
of a definite course by the United States
in dealing with Germany over the sinking
were taken. Berlin's message stated that
not all the desired information was in

Officer Takes to Gutter.
After 9 clock Monday evening
the sheriff drove to the Walker home,
but found that the girl had not re-
turned. He was on his way back when
about mile south of the Walker home
he heard a car approaching at a rapid
rate without light showing He took

the Walker house, where BOYD drove
into the yard. Sheriff Mann brought
| him back to Brattleboro and placed
him in the lookup.
When Boyd was interviewed he de
clared that another automobile was
trying to pass the carriage in the
! bridge when he drove in and that this
condition made three vehicles abreast.
Miss Walker, later, claimed the same
thing. Mrs. Newton, Mrs. Gilfeather
and Derby all say there was no
vehicle in the bridge at the time other
than the two in collision.
Boyd and Miss Walker also claimed
/ that the top of their automobile and
the windshield were up, but the state
ment is disputed by others who saw
the car before the accident. at the
time and later at the hospital. BOYD
and Miss Walker claimed that Mrs
Randall became frightened after the
collision and jumped and that Miss
Walker tried to catch her but was I'M
able to retain hold on her.
Later in the evening the young wo-
man was brought to the office Of

made statement before Judge F. b
