Her Fairy Palace at Llewellyn Park :
(COpyri0Et)
New YORK, July 12.-Count Thomas A.
Edison, commander of the Legion of Honor,
lives in beautiful house which is almost a
castle in appearance.
"Glenmont," as it is called, is delightfully."-
situated in the midst of the aristocratic
suburb, Llewelyn Park, N. J. This place
Mr.. Edison bought after his second mar
riage, about four years ago.
The family consists of Mrs. Edison, two
boys and a little girl, the latter the child of
his second marriage Mr.. Edison's eldest
daughter, a young girl about Is years of
age, IS studying music in Germany, where
sac has been for nearly a year under the
care Of a relative. Dob lie
The two boys, Thomas ana William, aged
Is and - years, are good hammered, lively
little fellows, who are being educated at
home by a governess. Their school room,
in the third story, is pleasant, airy place,
where the boys and their teacher spend four
hours or so each day.
Thomas, his fathers namesake, is some
thing of musician, playing remarkably
wellf lad of his years both on the piano
and the organ. William, | believe, has in
herited some of his fathers talent and likes
to spend day occasionally in the labora-

quite marvellous experiment was due, he
said, to the workman who did not provide
the correct apparatus for claiming the cleo
trio current to do his bidding.
Little 2-year-old Madeline, a bright.
winsome child, Is naturally the pet of the
household. o e very pretty picture Of her,
which Mrs. Edison keeps In her boudoir,
was taken IN quaint fashion. A crescent
shaped moon is outlined upon the card and
wi for ha i
was photographed. Underneath are these
lines:
Twinkle. twinkle, little star,
How wonder what you are.
Photographic dolls doubtless little baby
Edison has by the dozons, or can have if
she happens to like them.
Mrs. Edison is beautiful woman, with
charming manners as become a countess.
Her beauty and fine manners won high
praise last summer while in London and
Paris, which she visited with her husband
Mrs. Edison is "A years old, trif1e above
he average height, with very graceful
figure. Sac has brown hair, which sue
usually wears high at the back, with a fluffy
bang over her forehead. Her eyes are
hazel, and her complexion that clear olive
which artists love. Mr. Elison's pet name
for her is "Mena." Mrs. Edison always
dresses in perfect taste, and on ordinary
gowns and handsome dinner dresses were
added to her wardrobe last summer when
she was in Paris.
She takes a long drive every morning, ac-
companied by her little daughter and its
nurse. Her carriage costume at this season
is very apt to be an army blue cashmere
with passementerie trimmings, and a straw
hat with becoming cluster of pink roses
for ornament.
Mrs. Edison has young woman's fond
ness for society and entertains a good deal !:
luncheon and dinner parties being her
tavorite ways Of dispensing hospitality to
her friends. Her sister, Mrs. Mary Miller,
whose home is Akron, o., spends much time
with Mrs. Edison, and is expected in few
weeks 10 return to finish a visit which she
commenced in April.
The luncheon hour at the Edison mansion
is o'clock, and lest her absent-minded hus-
band forget that ne needs some refreshment,
Mrs. Edison often has the carriage sent for
him to his laboratory. although it is only q
tive-minute walk o the house.
