Washington, June 1.-THE return of
the President from his little trip of
fourteen thousand miles, with Mrs.
Roosevelt and Miss Alice both back
from different points of the compass.
made the White House once more the
center Of attraction; but for a very
brief space of time. The Roosevelts
can be counted upon definitely for one
thing-that of being constantly on the
move. Hardly had greetings been ex-
changed between the members of that
extremely energetic family before good
byes were again in order On Tuesday
the President, with his eldest daugh-
ter, left for Cleveland, to lend the
much-advertised honor of his presence
to the marriage of Miss Ruth Hanna
and Mr.. Joseph Medill Mccormick of
Chicago. Before the return of Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Miss Alice-some
time Wednesday night-the junior
members of the family, Ethel, Archi-
bald and Quintin, with a quartet of
servants, will be off for Oyster Bay
The two older boys, Theodore and Ker-
nit, viii remain at Groton till June
23 when they will join the merry band
at the summer home. Miss Alice Roose-
Welt, who returns from Cleveland with
her father, will stay in Washington
hardly twenty-four hours, leaving on
Friday for Boston, to make a visit of
indefinite length to her grandmother,
Mrs. George Lee, at Ches+ nut Hill, the
latter's country home. Miss Roosevelt
will attend the class day exercises at
Harvard and other festivities incident
to commencement week. Even as a
child, one of her greatest delights was
this annual visit to her fathers alma
mater She is a young lady of ax-
tremely strong ''likes'' and great faith
fitness in her affections.
Being devoted to the memory of her
beautiful young mother, who died so
long ago, and whom she now adores as
a saint in heaven, she has never been
able to quite forgive her fathers sec
ond wife for taking the formers place
in her fathers heart and home. There
is no apparent friction in the Roose-
welt home life, but it is an open secret
to all who are familiar with it that al
though the must punctilious courtesy
and mutual kindness marks the inter-
course of Miss Alice and her STEP
mother the young lady is seldom at
home for any length of time, remaining
with her grandmother, or elsewhere, as
much as possible. She has entirely re-
covered from her recent illness, which
at one time threatened to develop into
nervous prOStrat1on, and intends to for
tify herself for future social pleasures
tNrre rsaVfn Of md f.nI t-trN, H.
government yacht Sylph will be sent
to Oyster Bay for the Roosevelt fam
ily's use throughout the summer. Near
ly all the Presidents horses and car
riages have already gone, leaving here
only a pair of saddle horses and one
carriage for present use. Algonquin,
the little Shetland pony, which lately
made itself famous by going up in the
White House elevator to visit his young
master, Archie, who was in bed with
the measles-will travel to Oyster Bay
tomorrow, on the same train with the
children. The question that now agi-
tates the faithful groom is whether
Archie will ride in the boXcar with AL
gonquin, or whether Algonquin will
have to be stalled in Pullman sec
ton alongside the little RooSeVelts.
Mrs. Roosevelt will remain in Wash
ington throughout June, and if possible
as long as the President must. AL
though she did not go to Cleveland to
attend the Hanna wedding, she ex-
pressed her interest therein by sending
a beautiful present to Miss Ruth-the
already much described after-dinner
coffee set-two dozen cups and SaucerS,
in two sizes, each dish entirely COW
cred with gold. The ware is as unique
as beautiful, and doubly interesting be-
cause made in Washington, the famous
work of the Misses Healy, who, short
time ago, invented a process by which
a new kind of gold may be applied to
china. The beautiful case inclosing the
tWenty-four cups and saucers is almost
as valuable as it's contents.
Mrs. Shaw. wife of the Secretary of
the Treasury, will remain several
weeks longer in Iowa, where her eldest
daughter will be graduated from col
lege in a few days, but will return to
Washington before sailing with her
family for Europe on July 4. Mrs
Shaw says they will spend the summer
in Paris, so that her eldest daughter,
who will make her debut next winter,
may learn to speak French. In re-
cent widely published interview with
the wife of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, that estimable lady is suspected
of having rather put her substantial
foot in it, so to say, having spoken
freely of matters of state in way
which would nave insured ner NUS
bands recall had he been in the diplo-
matte circle.
Senator and Mrs Lodge, who are now
at their summer place at Nahant, will
go abroad later in the summer.
A good many invitations have been
received in Washington to the wedding
of Miss Ida Barber, which takes
place in Canton, o., on Wednesday,,
June "a. at o'clock. This uniting of
two DISTINGUISHED families is an event
of unusual interest. Miss Barber is
niece and namesake of Mrs. Mckinley
and well known in Washington, where
she was often a guest at the Wmte
House during the regime of President
Mckinley. She is a handsome young
woman, slender and graceful, with a
broad intellectual forehead, fine eyes
and a COMPLEXION OF peaches and
cream. Luther Day, the groom elect.
who was named after his distinguished
grandfather. Judge Luther Day IS the
son of Justice William r. Day o. the
Supreme Court. As he is his father
private secretary. it is probable tnat
the young people will make their future
home in Washington.
