House from Indianapolis on Friday and left the
same afternoon to spend Sunday with Mr.. and
| Mrs. Stephen Elkins at their beautiful country
place in West Virginia. They are expected
back on Monday. Mrs. Mckee will then re-
main here for the winter with her parents.
| The new carpet for the east room has been
! selected by Mrs. Harrison, but will not be laid
| until after Thanksgiving Day. By that time
the new furniture will be in place in the other
pariors, there will be carpet of soft, light
| shade in the upper corridor, and the entire
house will have taken on the completed look
that las been the ideal since the repairs were
commenced last summer.
One of the most sought after of the presi-
| dental household Is DIR. Scott Visitors are
coming to see him constantly. and as far as
his health and strength permit, he is glad to
see them. He has wonderful memory of
| things in his younger days and enjoys any cir
| cumstance that reverts to them. One Of the
visitors he enjoyed very greatly the other day
was an old lady who went to the same school
| with him, and as they had the events of
seventy or eighty years to talk over, the visit
was gladly prolonged on both sides.
Who is going to revive the dancing class is q
question a good many young people are asking
each other. One OF the young ladies who has
been especially prominent in its management
for the two past seasons was asked the other
day to assume the leadership for the coming
winter and to at once call a meeting for reor-
ganizatlon. '.You have done SO much for it
other years, why not this?'
Why said this clever young woman,
because am just two years older. Let some
body else try for glory in the same good
cause" But, of course, within a month
there will be a dancing class or something else
to take its place. 1t is bound to come, and the
chances are the chaperones will be the host
