Fond of Children.
Her life as the wife OF William Nc
Kinley was a most happy and devoted
one. They never kept house" while
be was in congress, because of her in
valid state. She, however, desired to
be with him as much as possible, and
spent much time in Washington. On

house guest of the Mckinleys.
Among her diversions was the crochet
ing Of slippers, which she bestowed as
keepsakes to friends, or gave to ba-
Ears. More than $500 pairs of slip
pers were knitted by her and given
away.
Mrs. Mckinley was fond of flowers,
the rose being her favorite for many
years. In recent years the presidents
carnation shared a place in her admira-
ton. Rereft of children at an early
stage of married life she showed her in
tense affection for children until the
end Of her life. It was a common
thing for her to stop her carriage when
driving along the street and call to
her some prattling child and kiss it,
or ask to embrace an attractive baby.
The estate which was left by Presi-
dent Mckinley was appraised at $685.
600 when the inventory was made 1t
has increased in value since that time.
BY the terms of the will the estate at
the death of Mrs. Mckinley was to be
divided equally among his brother, Alb
ner Mckinley, now deceased, and sis
tere, Mrs. Duncan and Miss Helen Nc
Kinley. of Cleveland. Mrs. Hermanus
Baer (Mabel Mckinley, is the daugh-
ter and heir of Abner Mckinley.
