It will probably surprise many people to learn I that Mrs. Roosevelt was married to the ex-president of America in London. The ceremony took place at St. George's, Hanover Square, on December 2, 1886, and in the register the curious visitor may read the entry of the marriage, the bridegroom being described as Theodore Roosevelt, 28, widower, ranchman, and the bride as Edith Kermit Carow. A woman of domestic tastes, Mrs. Roosevelt was not sorry when her husband ceased to be head of the White House, for she lives mostly for her children. At the same time, she did much to make her husband's eight years' occupancy of the White House the social success it has been. Indeed, she established a new record for entertaining, for in the arrangement of affairs, such as State dinners, teas, and musi-cales, Mrs. Roosevelt insisted upon personal supervision. She is a widely read woman, and finds a recreation in needlework.
