THE PRESIDENTS WIFE.

Shirley Dare's last New York letter on
women runs off on the following tangent
of Mrs. Harrison:
Criticism is busy with Mrs. Harrison.
not for anything she has done nor hasn't
done, has said or has not said. but be-
cause she appears ambitious of filling
nor higher role than that of Mrs. Ben
Harrison, the presidents wife. As usual
even with citizens who never EXPECT TO
be president or 10 marry presidents. i'll
natured comment is loudest and gets in
its sharp work before friends wake up to
say the right thing in the case, Mrs.
Harrison is not a nonenity as these fork
ed-tongueS have it nor is she a cold in
tigulng obtuSe woman. unequal TO the
place she has TO till The plain fact Is
that sensible counsels prevail in higher
quarters and il is has been resolved that
