the sick room Monday morning and
had brief stay with her afflicted
husband. The veil of domestic pri-
vacy is, of course, thrown over the
details of the meeting. Mrs. McKin-

same fortitude which has character
lied her, as well as the president,
since the tragic event occurred. Al
though there have been statements
that Mrs. Mckinley has not been ap-

president is injured, it can be stated

possible, she has been buoyed up by
the encouraging attitude of the physi-
clans, and she has responded by Civ
ing all her strength toward passing
through the ordeal with calmness.
