There is never a dull forenoon when Marjorie Morse is there. She can her Aunt Ida stories by the s that 1y’s hair stand on end. Even the President listens at times to goblin anecdotes that make his blood curdle. Marjorfe likes to bring all of dolls into Mrs. McKinley's room, and Mrs. McKinley likes too. There we two little ighters of her own once— Kate and Ida. y were only bables when they died. It was the shock of their loss and t of her mother that broke her health permanently. Mr. and Mrs McKinl lunch together. All the morning’s do! are talked over and the afternoon’s plans discusged. Sometimes the President has the hapr news that ke will have a little spare tims, and he deferentially asks If he may have the pleasure of her company for a drive. Once in a while he proposes an evening at the theater and that is always delightful, for she is very fond of the theater. She likes comedy best: “There Is enough trouble in the world without seeing sad plays and reading sad books, e zays. Scme of the afternoons are passed with her friends. She likes a tea-table chat as well as women who know nothing of the Lig affairs of state. During this busy season she is obliged fo depend more than usual upon tea-table amusement, for there is very little tims to be spared by a husband in Mr. McKin- ley's position. She does not permit herself to make demands upon his time; she knows that he vould respond to those de- mands even though he had to remain at his desk twenty-four hours at a stretch to make up for it. She recalls the time @ Fit amily Like every one else who is much “in the papers,” Mrs. Langtry receives a large bunch of begging letters by almost every mail. Some of them are unique In thelr requests. There are many appeals for cast-off clothing. A young girl writes to her: “You have so many dresses and I, a poor clergyman’s daughter, h only a tweed coat and a mauve muslin. I am invited to a dance next week and have no dress to go in.” Another woman asks for $50 to help buy a sewing machine as a birthday present for her niece. A man begs that the actress will adopt a pony of his which he cannot afford to keep and will not sell for fear of {ll treatment. A youth 18 years old writgs that he has the chance of a “job,” but as he is con- fined to the house through having no clothes canaot go out to “see after” fit. ‘Will she send him a gray suit? “A Con- Srmed Invalld” proposes that he shall V=) = =005 A when he had lert for Canton on tmpertant busir own ow much ere shall ., lke a woman's, r hour does not men and papers until I by that hour, e sensation to at tt y woman in the to hear ab e day's ady to be extend- ch hose A wear him to know % world Is wal trials—her ed.

The mc ! I realize how rare the type is. These laughs that I bave with you are keeping all the flesh that the campaign Is trying to lose for me.” Perhaps her unusually broad education has had something to do with developing se of humor. She says that one n't see much of life without laughing at it. Part of her young ladyhood was spent as cashler in her father's bank. She no need for self- was a soclety girl w support and her w comment at the ne; but she has always clatmed that her business training in the tank was the most valuable course In her whole education. Plenty of time spent in Europe later on gave her new points of view, and her husband's career has broad- ened her still further. “She is an all-round companion,” is what her husband says of her.
