Beale, of this city. She was only Is months
old at the time. The toilet she wore repre-
sented Madame la Marquise and was made
with long court train ofpink brocade trimmed
with swansdown, over petticoat OF rare old
point lace which originally formed her
mothers wedding gown.
ROUGH ON THE VICE PRESIDENT.
Her older brother. Carroll, who, in the
to the ball, remarked to his mother upon
their return that night: "Mamms, do not
think our Bessie has much taste. She firted
dreadfully with the ugliest old man in the
room, and he was bald-headed, too" Upon
inquiry it was learned that the ugliest old
man in the room was no less parsonage
than the Hon. Levi p. Morton, whose fond
ness for children is proverbial. Bessie her.
self seems to have an objection to badness,
for not long ago she remarked to her mother
that she did wish grandfather would have
some hair put on his head, cause he is so
bareheaded
Ex-Speaker Carlisle feels two feet higher
whenever he looks at his grandson, John G..
Carlisle, Jr. The baby looks like him, and
he is as bright as button. He is only two
years old, but he has an old head on young
shoulders, and he promises to surpass in re-
partee his distinguished grandfather. He
is youth of decided individuality, has an
opinion of his own, and puts on more Dig
nifty than the Senator himself. He will not
permit strangers TO call him John, and he
despises Johnny. He informs everyone that
his right name is John G.. Carlisle, Jr., and
he always adds that his grandfather's name
is John G. Carlisle, Sr.
SENATOR DoLPH's BABY.
Another Senatorial baby belongs to the
Dolph family. The Senator has four boys,
and the youngest, who is named Harry Viii
lard, is the brightest of the lot. He is, his
parents sometimes fear, too bright for his
age, and since he has gone to school he has
lost flesh from over-study. He stands at the
head of his class, and spends more time on
books than play. His bright sayings are
among the traditions of the Dolph family,
and his father holds him up as one of the
best products Of the State of Oregon.
Harry has kitten which glories in the
name of Baby Mckee. This Kitten is the
unfortunate possessor of tail which per-
sists in sticking straight up in the air with
out regard to circumstances surrounding it.
This weakness troubles the cat and amuses
Harry. He has cut q hole in the lower
panel of his chamber door in order that the
cat may get through. This hole is lust
large enough for the cat without the tail,
which persists in trying to enter with its
caudal appendage in the air. OF course
this is an impossibility, and Harry grows
very indignant at the cats not learning that
a boat must lower its mast when going un-
der bridge. The other day the cat had its
usual trouble with its tail, when Harry e1-
claimed, "Baby Mckee, 1 don't think you
have as much sense now as when you were
born"
KOREAN BABY COMING.
Some of the most interesting babies that
have ever come to Washington have been
born: within the legations. Minister Kuki
Lad charming little baby while he repre-
sented Japan in this country and am now
able to whisper to you the fact that we are
about to have the first Korean baby ever
born to Korean noble outside the Hermit
Kingdom. Elaborate preparations are in
progress at the embassy for his coming and
he will not be hung in hood or tied TO the
mothers back as is done in the far East. but
it will take its first lessons in life in Chris
tian way.
Mrs. Ye Cha Yum has asserted her indie
pendence since she came here and instead of
being shut up in the back of the house az
her sisters are at home. she has made calls,
gone to receptions and has even received her
friends at the legation building. She will
receive many calls as soon as
she is able to be about after her little child |
makes its appearance, and it may be the |
young person after an education here will |
20 back as q reformer to the land Of his |
foreiathers.
GLAD SHE WAS ALIVE.
One of the funniest children stories |
have heard for year is description of an
Incident which occurred in the family of
,ne of our most pious statesmen the other
lay. Last week while thanking the Lord
ror the good He had done for the little ones
If his family, he thanked Him for the old
horse Barney which gave them such de-
ightful country riding; he thanked Him
'or their home and good dinners and he
poured out his soul in thanks to God for the
oys which they had. 1t was at this time
hat his little 4-year-old daughter could con-
ain herself no longer. She broke into the
prayer with a sigh and then clapping
"Oh, God. don't you wish you
vas us?" Miss GRUNDY, JR.
