Mrs. Dimmfck's Fine Qualities as q
Woman Won Mr.. Harrison.
NEW YORK, April 5.-The Morning Jour-
nal has the following regarding the wedding
of ex-President Harrison and Mrs. Dim
mick: East Thirty-eighth street, where
Mrs. Dimmick resides, between Park and
Madison avenues, is a very quiet, smart
street. There is seldom any excitement there.
and in Lent even the sparrows that frequent
the block modify their chirps. That the
Dimmick house. at No. 40. should, at this
season, be an object Of considerable interest
is to be expected. Everything that went on
about it yesterday was watched by eager
eyes at windows up and down the street and
across the street. When housemaid swept
down the steps a great many people saw
her do so, and when delivery wagons from
fashionable shops delivered odd-shaped par
cells lots Of people saw those parcels from
X rays wherewith 10 reveal their contents.
East Thirty eighth streets greatest treat

gowned all In gray; sne me wore black walk walk
on hands, not TOO small. and a small bunch
of penitential violets was pinned to her
corsage. She carried a tightly rolled um-
brella. which she swung like walking stick.
and East Thirty-eighth street did not have
a long look, for sne hurried a.ong TO st.
The other treat afforded the interested
ones was the call paid by General Harrison
after luncheon. He came in broughara,
and went up the steps in a way that showed
that had nature given him longer legs he
would have taken two steps at a time. His
determined pull at the bell said as plainly
as words: az am paying my respects to the
future Mrs. Harrison, and there is nothing
to be ashamed of.
Mrs. Dimmick and her sister, Mrs. Par

feminine looking writing desk, which has
been in constant use for the last week. for
