The Experience and Opinions OF MIRA
Fuller and the Misses Fuller.

from me Chicago Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 19-Tne family Of
Chief Justice Fuller are pleasantly settled
in Washington. Their home is already a
center Of social life, and all agree that Mrs
Fuller makes an admirable leader of sn-
preme court society. The charming daugh-
ters are an innovation that pleases. as Chief
Justice Chase and Chief Justics Waite had
each but one daughter. The house is castle
like in its structure and is commandingly
situated On the hill at the end of Fourteenth
street. 1t is well planned for entertaining,
as four large rooms and a wide hall can be
thrown open. There is inviting air of
home about the place that shows that Mrs
Fuller has her family life AT heart as well
as her social requirements.
