UP AND WALKING ABOUT.
Miss Van Lew Stronger Yesterday – Mrs. Palmer – Dr. McGuire.
Miss Van Lew, after a particularly restful night, was much better yesterday morning, so that, when her physician called, he found her, on the arm of a neighbor, slowly walking out. The heat, however, adds discomfort to her infirmity.
…Dr. McGuire passed a fairly good day yesterday. His general condition remains about the same.
