Mrs. Garfield, says The Pttsburg Dispatch, has
made her home in Cleveland and selected her sur
roundings in so quiet and careful manner that
comparatively few even of the late Presidents
more intimate associates have any knowledge of
her plans and Of her daily life. Her house is plain

more in the light of an investment than a porma-
nent homo tor herself and children. The affections
of the Garfield family are evidently centred in the
cottage at Mentor, and there is an impression that
their residence at any other place will be tempo

are Mrs. Garfield the late Presidents mother; Mrs.
Larabie his sister, who is in failing health; Miss
MDlie Garfield. and the younger boys, Irwin and
Abfam The sOlomn-looking footman who ushors

mother Garfield seldom sits dinner through and
when dessert is served she takes whatever she fan
cies IN her hands and adjourns to the library. She
is the one occupant Of tho house who is always
visible. With her white hair anu white cap, she
can be seen at the window, In little wicker rock
ing chair, busted with her knitting OF the daily
newspapers.
