MIS- Mchee says that In TINS IMP she wants
to thoroughly enjoy meeting the people Of note
whom it may be their good fortune to see at
the various social occasions already arranged
Tor their London visit Naturally the ladies
VIII meet many distinguished persons and under
most favorable conditions.
They do not think it will be possible for them,
as much as they would like it, in such q short
time to do much sightseeing. As the queen is
going to her highland home in Scotland earlier
than usual this year 1t may be that they will
not De able TO see her, which naturally they re-
gret. But Tor all the rest OF the notabies Lon
don VIII De still the interesting center and the
season sun as gay as possible during the first
month OF their stay.
Mrs Harrison has been giving much of her
time lately to settling upon the plans of the re-
decoration and various other changes which will
be made in the White House during the sum-
mer. The decoration OF the yestibule and cor.
ridor. the green parlor and the state dining
room are what the public will see the most of.
but the necessary changes and repairs in the
plumbing and other work of that character IL
giving her as much concern. II the weather is
favorable for the change she now expects to 20
to Cape May Point about the 18th OF June and
FTrI-
House will scarcely be habitable at all after
July /.
