TACOMA, May 0.-Tacoma ladies con-.
tinue to talk about President Harrison's
wife and the lady members Of the presi-
Dental party. Pride is taken in summing
up the manner in which the party was en-
tertained ct the Tacoma theatre. There
was no hitch. Every detail worked out to
nicely. One little protest was heard, and
that was against the brief time allotted for
the public to see the first lady of the land.
Az Mrs. Harrison did not journey over the
route of march with her husband, after
reaching the theatre building she had two
full hours in which to receive and be seen.
After half hour or so spent in present.
ing Mrs. Harrison with souvenirs the
doors were opened and the public adj
mitted, and ct 10 is o'clock the doors were
again closed. and it il against this early
closing Of the doors that some Of
those who did not see Mrs. Harrison
protest. Those who did not see her, how
ever, and who now protest, are guilty Of
not considering the selfish side Of urging
Mrs.. Harrison to continue the reception.
Still the closing Of the entrance doors at
1O:15 o'clock was part of the programme,
It having been previously arranged that it
would be . good idea to invite Mrs. Har.
rison into side reception room where

could Be entertained by specially invited
