Life at the white house has settled
down to its usual summer routine since
Mrs. Harrison and Mrs. Dimmick returned
Thursday afternoon from New York.
Their visit there was, OF course, only to
see Mrs. Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Russell
Harrison off to Europe. The entire family
felt the loneliness of the parting, as it
will be really the first time Mrs. Mckee
has been separated any length OF time
from her parents. Now the members of
the presidential family are commencing
TO talk about Cape MAY Point. Their
departure for their summer house is yet
only indefinitely settled, but if the
weather grows warm Mrs. Harrison thinks
that she will start some time between the
18th and the Goth ult. Mrs. Dimmick
WILL in all probability, spend the summer
there also, and if, as Mrs. Mckee thought
when leaving home, she is back again by
the 22d of August or Whereabouts, the fam
lily will all meet at the Cape May Point
cottage for reunion before taking their
usual mountain trip. Mrs. Harrison's
souvenir collection is day by day being
added to, as many things intended for pre-
sentation to her were not ready at
the time of her visit, while from a
good many more places have come photo
graphs, ETC., of scenes in which the presl-
Dental party figured. During their visit
to the Leland Stanford, jr., university
at Palo Alto, each member of the family
planted tree at some prominent spot on
the grounds. Those planted by the presi-
dent and Mrs. Harrison are at the juno
ton of four handsome avenues close to
the main building. In another section
Mr.. Wanamaker and Secretary Rusk
planted fine trees adjacent to those
planted by Mrs. Mckee and Mrs. Russell
Harrison. Each member of the party
received during the past week diagrams
of the grounds with the location OF these
favored trees marked.
No one would have been any more dis
appointed than Mrs. Harrison herself il
today the weather had not permitted the
assembling of the children OF the district
for the Marine baud concert. Little Benja-
min Mckee mad his heart set on seeing
the grounds filled with little people to
whom he wanted to give military salute.
Since he began to wear his nattv sailor
suits he has learned to touch his cap in
real MILDLY style, and it gives him great
amount of pleasure to 90 through these
movements for his grandparents elderly
visitors, but as he is extremely companion
able he prefers those OF his own size the
best.
Daniel B. Minde and Irving Blount OF
Indiana were two of the graduates yester-
day from the naval academy at Annapo-
lis. The former is the son of Judge Minde
OF Fort Wayne.
The attorney general and Mrs. Miller
will take as long vacation as possible
this summer to recuperate the former,
who has been far from well all the past
spring. Just at present all the attention
Of this interesting family centers on the
approaching trip to Europe of Miss
Miller, who is the first of the group
to be 40 able. a. to- see the places
in which all the rest have a kindred inter
est. The journey, which begins the last
of this month, will be little out of the
beaten roads of travel and will in ali re-
spects he an ideal one for such compan-
ionabe young ladies as Miss Miller and
Mrs. Mary ButteTworth Howe.
Mr.. w. II. Smith, who resigned lucra-
tive position in the post office department
two months ago and went back to Indian
apolis, has returned 70 Washington to en-
gage in private business. Mr.. and Mrs.
Smith are stopping at the Langham tenn
porarily. "Prevaricator Billy" gave as a
reason for resigning $1,000 position was
that he had been offered the editorship OF
a leading daily in Indiana at an enormous
salary
