OTHER TIN LILY TOPICS

Ex-President and Mrs. Harrison have had
every hour of their visit with Mr.. and Mrs.
Foster delightfully."- filled by the pleasant
gatherings at the home of their hosts, and
with other close personal friends. the only
drawback being that there is not in the
brief stay planned half time enough to &C
cept all the courtesies offered. They will
leave early next week for the west, Mrs.
| Harrison going back to Indianapolis, while
Gen. Harrison keeps a business engagement
in Michigan. The former chief of the ma
ton has changed but little since he left the
| White House, except in taking on some
extra weight. which is generally considered
deci> -iy becoming to him. His close at
| tention to the work of the revision COM
| mttee has left him but little leisure during
| the week and prevented until today, any
| attempt at sightseeing. Mrs. Harrison
however, has visited the Congressional Lii
brary and the stores, taking advantage of
the chance to start her Christmas shopping.
Since Thursday, however, when their little
| daughter, Elizabeth, arrived from New
| York with her nurse, both Mr.. and Mrs.
Harrison have had a most delightful occu-
patton for any unoccupied minutes. Eliza
| beth is nearly four ye; old, and is a
markedly pretty as well as bright child.
She greatly amused and interested both
