Mrs. Roosevelt' s Church .

Mrs. Roosevelt’s determination to attend St John’s Episcopal Church while Cho President is faithful to the little chapel of the Dutch Reform Church kas given rise to some misconception, and people who do not understand the facts have assumed there was some radical difference of opinion in relig-

lous matters between the President and his wife. They do belong to different churches, but that is a mattei of hereditary association, writes a Washington correspondent. The President belonged to the Dutch Reformed

Church, as his ancestors had done, and he has kept up the connection as a matter of course. Mrs. Roosevelt was a Carew, and she is an Episcopalian by birth and training, She has always contributed liberally to the church of that faith in New York, Washington and Albany. The President and Mrs.

Roosevelt are not at all apart in their general religious views, and they frequently attend church together. As the result of early training they have retained their original church membership.
