The White House has been quiet all week, -
the young people Of the family have been away.
Mr.. and Mrs. Russell Harrison, who went to
New York on Monday, returned this morning.
They had pleasant week between the dinner
and thester parties given in their honor, and
the weather was 20 much better than this
city experienced during the same length
of time that Mrs. Harrison was
able to visit and shop every day Mrs Mckee h;ss
about her that she will not be able to leave
Boston until Monday. She has greatly enjoyed
her visit, going out constantly to the homes OF
her friends and seeing much OF the delightful
phases of Boston society. Mrs. Harrison thinks
back.
Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Russell Harrison have
not yet decided upon the date Of their sailing
for Europe. Circumstances have prevented
their going the 1st of May, butthey hope to get
away early in that month. Mrs. Russell Harrison
will 60 toward the latter part OF the coming
week out to Nebraska to visit her parents and
her little daughter. By the time she will be
ready to come east again the arrangements for
the European jurney will have assumed shape
and certainty.
The President said this morning that II he
goes west at all he will start on the date already
arranged or very close to it. Whether or not
Mrs. Harrison Ia to accompany him is not as
yet decided upon, but her family are all an1-
ious that she should.
The coming week promises but little Of an
eventful character for society in general, but
il brim full Of interest for those who move in
smaller circles. In official life there are no
weddings announced, and this in a quiet season
is little short Of calamity. Society fully ex-
nocfad n In all
couples at nuptial ceremonies this month, but
somehow or other these young people are in
no hurry to add any new obligations to their
lives at present. So In the case Of
friends can still indulge in all the delights
of anticipation over that fondly desired march
up q church aisle. So far as announced there
will be but few large receptions this spring.
Dinner parties and luncheons are the forms Of
hospitality most prevalent and number are on
the cards for the coming week.

Lady Pauncefote and her daughters may
perhaps 60 home for few months. But there
are few people who get more solid enjoyment
out Of this city than do this pleasant family.
They are all devoted to walking, and they walk
every day in spite OF wind or weather. In the
afternoon Sir Julian and Lady Pauncefote walk
from house to house while calling. Their
daughters, if not walking, are driving q very
spend good deal Of their time during fine
weather in the saddle.
In one way or other they are very little in
doors, excepting the looking after of household
matters, in which advantageous accomplish
ment they are said to excel The draw

gins an hour or two before dinner.
