Autumn Plans of the President and NOT MANY ENGAGEMENTS. 2 Some of the Marriages Which the Sammer Has Brought Forth—Washington People at the Resorte—A Recent Wedding With = - Bomance—Pereonal Notes of Interest. ‘The White House family is commencing to move arourid the country after its quiet of the past month. Mre. McKee, who has it all ‘the summer with her husband and children in Beverly, Mass., went up to Loon ‘Lake last Tuesday, taking Master Benjamin with her. The presence of the little fellow had a ee fect on Mrs, Harrison, who is never pier than when she can have the children with . and upon the President also, who was lonesome for a romp with his grandson. Mrs. McKee is now established at Loon Lake aintil next month, when it is expected that she will ac- company the President here and assist him in his cocial duties at the White House during the encampment. ‘Mra, Russell Harrison has beep off to Cresson Springs for » briet stay, but returned to her Cape May cottage early in the past week. She may aleo come here during encampment week. Mrs. Hatrison’s health not greatly im- proved, nor has there been any change for the worse in her condition the past fortnight. If anything she lias become a little stronger and is now able to do as she did here the . last days of her stay—go out foradrive nearly every day. Letters last week from members of the household were very encouraging in tone and hopeful that the ‘stayin the mountains had been the very best prescription for her. She is not, however, expected to return to the WI Houte until very late in the autumn, and, fact, not then if it is thought that any other place would be more beneficial Gr where she could be more comfortable. The improvements in the White House will, it is confidently expected, be all completed, or at least sufficiently so to have the house open during the encampment.
