ance she Is more attractive than most
newspaper cuts would have the public
believe. She is of medium height,
petite, with brown eyes and dark hair,
an olive complexion and an engaging
smile. Her manner Is open and un--
pretentious and her conversation viva
cious. Possessed Of all the graces
which come to a. woman accustomed to
the best society, she Is at once affable
and fascinating. Mrs. Harrison was
time Of her marriage to 1.-The general"
April 6, 1896. was thirty-seven years
old.
But to return to the anti-new woman
proclivities-Mrs. Harrison makes no
pretentions herself to being advanced"
She Is directly opposed to woman5
suffrage and does not hesitate to say
so. She does not even profess interest
In that rather neutral field of tho
modern woman the woman's club, and
Is conspicuous by her absence from
the feminine trysting places of the
HOos1er capital. The only club she is
fond Of attending is the Contemporary
club, an organization Of both men and
women, which meets monthly and has
some interesting entertainer from some
corner Of the country. Occasionally
she has finger in some philanthropio
pie, such as society bazaar given in
the name of charity.
Mrs. Harrison's idea Of the education
Of the new baby is therefore COM
mensurate with the life in which she
finds supreme happiness-the life OF
the home. She believes her little
daughters education should be liberal
enough and sufficiently substantial to
make her competent to earn her own
way in the world should changed con-
ditions make 1t necessary. Her fond
est maternal wish Is, therefore, that
Miss Elizabeth shall, nineteen years
hence be a sweet and lovely young
woman, eligible not for public repute,
but the honorS Of home life.
HARRISON HOME UNPRETENTT- y
GUS.
The home into which little Miss Har-
risOn has arrived is unpretentious, as
homes Of high officials go. The house
is of old-fashioned square brick style,
which makes it inconspicuouS among
the more elegant edif1ces along that
part of North Delaware street. When
the former president decided to again
become a benedict he sought to re-
juVenate the place by building colo
NAL veranda along the front The in
side was thoroughly overhauled and
covered with vines and being well back
from the street has a well-kept hos
pitable lawn.
The inside furnishings of the house
reflect Mrs. Harr1son's subdued taste.
The draWing-roOm is even somber IN its
hues. The oiled floor and coverings Of
dull-hued rugs and the tapestry hang
ings and upholstery are Of the same
tone Two tea-tables evidence the hos
tess inclination for a coZy chat over
the cup that cheers.

her mouth can be distinguished upon

That the mother Of a former Presi-

other woman with her first baby is
evidenced by the fact that Mrs Har-
rison possesses a baby book. However,

THE AERODROME.

The Langley machine was exploited first
four years ago. 1t had been in construc-
ton then for two years 1t was surrounded
with an air of mystery at first but this
was dissipated gradually and facts were given
out from time to time Finally the statement
was made that the experimental machine had
and this was verified by Prof. Gardner Hub
bard, Of the Smithsonian. OF course this
aerodrome was a model only. The first ma
chine was about Is feet long shaped like
mackerel. It was built in great part of
aluminium Inside the she'll were two small
engines capable of exerting one horse power
boilers supplied with volatile hypocarbon
in place of water and a small gasoline tank
Supported on a mast which ran through the
middle Of the body were two sails or aero
planes which were to hold the aerodrome
up on the currents of air as bird floats
along, without effort, while fans operated by
the machinery were to give the necessary pro-
pelling power.
In the ground plan of this aerodrome there
is nothing new. Many years ago a Frenchman
made a toy which was operated by the power
of a twisted rubber band This toy few UP
into the air, and when the rubber was un-
twisted fell to earth again. This toy was
improved by Prof Langley and made to take
longer fights, and then the machine which
has been careerlng around the lower Poto-
mac In the summer for the past three years
was developed. Prof. Langley has been ex-
perimenting for ten years.
The letters which have been coming to
the Smithsonian for some time have been
from people who wanted to learn whether
the authorities there knew anything about
the Western airship. The scientists in Wash
ington were not disposed to put much faith in
the airship stories because they have be-
ieyed that no one was going to discover"
the method of flying. 1t was natural for them
to think that if the flying machine was made
it would be the result of hard, scientific study

aerodrome, and Bone Of these men had been

baby Is the dearest baby in the world

Harrison, a few days ago, with the fond
smile OF a woman who INDUCES in the
stereotyped declaration, dearest baby

Mrs. Harrison is constitutionally OPP

that was all she would consent to say
