such loving subjects as the little folks of very
tender years. So greatly does Mrs. Harrison
miss Baby Mckee and his little sister from the
Presidential household that she says she will
not be able to stand it much longer without
them. Between now and Christmas she eX-
poets to go to the old home in indianapolis for
week. and to return here with their miniature
majestes and their amiable mamma, who is
such a favorite in Washington society. Then
when the voices of the little children echo
through the halls and corridors of the Execu-
tive Mansion it will seem more like Il home.

One of the most pleasing incidents connected
with the first regular meeting Of "The Daugh-
tiers of the Revoluton,' at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Cabell on Tuesday evening, was the
presence of Mrs. President Harrison That
lady's good taste was DISPLAYED In the simple
costume of rich black silk which she wore.
Her hat was of heliotrope velvet. If one were
not familiar with her photograph her presence
would not have been noted save by those enjoy
ing her personal acquaintance. Now, this event
OF being present at woman's meeting, so com
mon TO most women, was very unusual thing
in the life of "the first lady Of the land" Off
cial etiquette demands that the President's wife
shall not pay visits nor take an active interest
in the thousand and one things that occupy the
time and attention of other women, lest in Civ
ing the sanction Of her presence she establish "a
precedent likely to give no end OF trouble in
the future. Hence to all appeals from $50
cieties' she is obliged to turn dead ear. But
this latest effort Of the patriotic romsnhood of
the land 10 promote reverence for the Revolu-
IlOnary heroes OF our country with equal honor
10 the mothers, wives and daughters of PATRIOTS
occupies such high ground that Mrs. Harrison
felt moved to make this the one glorious OK
ception to the rule and TO lend her name, as first
pIcSluGuJ general, 80 line Daughters OF the
ReyolutiOn.n Mrs Harrisons Revolutionary
ancestor was John Scott, cOmmissary general to
the Pennsylvania line. Going back five genera
tlons, one Of her ancestors Robert Scott, a
member of the Scotch Parliament before the
union Of the crowns. As is well known, one of
the most hOnOred members Of the Presidential
household is Mrs. HarrsOn's father, Dr. Scott,
an octOgenarian, to whom every iiia attention
is given The Daughters of the Revolution will
now and henceforth regard it as a high honor
that Mrs. Carrie Harrison, wife of Benjamin
Harrison, President OF the United States, was
one Of its charter members.
Mrs. Dorothy Tenant Stanley is winning
golden opinions in New York from MI who
have had the pleasure Of meeting her. Almost
Immediately after her arrival at the Everett
House she received very original present from
DR.. Byron u. Field 1t was quart OF the per-
fume called the Lily of the Nile" The cut
glass bottle containing the fragrant liquid was
