The Harrison Children.

There are two members of the Carter H. Harrison household of whom the public has heard but little, but who are, according to the mayor and Mrs. Harrison, the most important members of the whole family, writes a Chicago oorrespondent. They are Carter H. Harrison the third, and Edith Ogden Harrison. Carter H. Harrison the third is in reality Carter H. Harrison the seventh, for seven generations of the Harrison family have had a Carter Henry Harrison, yet Chicagoans know best and claim cldsest ties with the former mayor, the present mayor and his little son, and so it is he has been called the third. Just now he is a bright little fellow with the burden of 10% years on his shoulders, of whom his tutors say most flattering things of his aptitude at learning, and of whom his parents are justly proud. Baby Edith, 5 years old, who bears her mother’s maiden name of Edith Ogden, is a handsome little miss with brown eyes and rosy cheeks and light brown curly hair, almost the image of her father. She is too young as yet to show decided characteristics aside from her love of pets and dolls, of her parents and brother, and of a devotion which is well-nigh worship for

her German-American nurse, Mary, who has been her constant attendant since early babyhood. Edith has never known another nurse aside from her mother, who is most devoted to her children, and like the little lamb of nursery rhymes, everywhere Mary goes Edith goes likewise. A pretty practice in the Harrison household at Christmas is the giving away of all the toys of the nursery each yuletide to the little poor folk of the neighborhood, and in return the receiving of another stock. “We want them to feel always they must give of their happiness to others,” says Mrs. Harrison.
