SINGULAR WEDDING PRESENT.
Washington society is amused over a story which has just leaked out, ot a singular present which ex-President Rooseveit made a recent bride in that city. Miss Mary Carlisle recently married Mr Walter Howe, a prominent lawyer, and her wedding was one of the social events of the season.
