About
President
Roosevelt
President Roisevelt was married in
1883, when 25 years old to Alios Lee.
She died next year, after giving birth
to Alice Roosevelt, now twenty years'
old. In 1886 Roosevelt married Edith
Kermit C'arow. Their ohildren are
Theodore, Jr, agfd 17; Kermit, 15;
Ethel, 13; Archibald Bullock, 10;
and Quentin, 7.
In our country, official etiquette re
quires that cards be engraved in the
simplest manner. Mr. McElnley's
card bore only the inscription, "the
President," and his wife's is "Mrs.
McKlnley." It is only since leaving
the White Honse that "Mrs. Graver
Cleveland" appears upon that lady's
card. For members of the Cabinet
I be cards are engraved "the Secretary
of State," 'Tte Secretary t the Navy,"
and so on, the wife in eaoh case hav
ing a card on which the prefix "Mrs "
is not followed by the husband's
Christian name.
Of countries boasting an aristocracy,
the cards the most simple in point of
size and appeurance are those of the
Emperor and the Prince of Wales.
The Prince bas'two sets of oards, the
one for use abroad, and the other for
use in England ; those for usa in Eng
land bear the words, "Prinoo of Wales"
for use abroad, ''The Prince of Wales' '
