From Baby McKee's egg-rolling luncheon on
Monday for the little folks who will spend tho

the packing tea at Mrs Wanamaker's on Mon

their industry as members Of the sewing

Miss Brewers in the evening, one will
not be rid OF the sound Of wedding bells for

come on with Mr. Karrick.
The chances are that the cabinet ladies will
receive on next Wednesday although 40 far

many kind messages all the week aud there
has been constant inquiry for her every day.
She has been very ill, indeed, her worst
days being the latter part of last
week, and. in fact up to Tuesday Now that
she Is commencing to improve, she is inter-
ested IL everything going oa in the house and
would like to talk, only talking is likely to
bring on coughing. and consequently cannot
hn alt
hinder any festivities ut the White House
at present, and as the President has
given orders to have his Cape May cottage
