Everybody who knows even a little
about Mr.. Logan wonders how she
accomplishes SO much work. l.. is be-
cause Mrs Logan herself is an in.
domitable worker and has good
private secretary. Mrs. Logan has an
Office at her home, Calumet place. Its
walls are filled solidly with dark.
formidable looking books. Mrs.
Logan's own desk faces window.
There is a long, wide desk. where Miss
Edith Marshall sits. It's regular
businesslike place, with its pigeon
holes and files, its typewriter and
letter press. And Miss Marshall rules
here day after day in Mrs Lopan's
absence. Miss Marshall is a slim slim
of a young girl with nut brown hair
and large eyes. She is modest
and retiring. She is Penn
sylvauia girl who came to
Washington and was working in the
Office of the Home journal, of which
Mrs Logan is the editor, when Mrs.
Log found that even her great work
ing powers were not equal to all the
demands ON her time and strength.
Miss Marshall needed very little d T.
suasion to devote herself entirely to
MIS-. Logan's service. One piece of
work in which Miss Marshall takes
some pride is the collection of fifteen
scrap books which she has arranged
containing souvenirs of Gen. Logan.
They are nearly all big books
Two contain nothing but kilograms
received at the time of his death.
Three Others contain letters of condo
lence, arranged four and five deep on
every page. Music composed, poems
written, each have one volume, and
Others contain resolutions and miscel-
laneous memorials In fact as pri-
vate secretary, Miss Marshall is such q
success that Mrs. Logan's only fear is
that she will lose her.
During the four years she was in
Washington Mrs. Mo ton had the as
sistan of secretary, Miss Hunt.
Miss Hunt is a member of an old
Washington family, her father having
been minister to Russia at one time.
Miss Hunt attended 10 Mrs Morton's S
correspondence and filed in every
way a private secretary's duties.
When Mrs Morton entertained MISS
Hunt always aided, and was every
where at once to see that things went
all right. And as she is a very clever
and even brilliant young lady, she
was a favorite in Washington society,
where she holds high place by her
own right.
Mrs. Cleveland's private secretary,
whom IL was understood she had en-
gagged in the shape of a Southern lady
has not materialized. and now it does
not seem likely that she will appear.
When she is at the White house there
are a couple of clerks in the Office " no
are always glad to att nd to her corre-
spoudence. Then, too, Mrs. Cleve-
land has become used to Mr.. Robert
Lincoln UBrien, who has looked after
her mail ever since he was made Mr..
