MRS. CLEVELAND.

Bh. Who to Again to Bo tko itnt Lad]Tit th« Land. The result of the election has again brought Mrs. Cleveland prominently before the people. During the two years she was mistress of the White House she. presented to the American people a model of the true American woman. Frances Folsom’s father was a law partner of Grover Cleveland, and the future President was her friend and patron before he became her lover and husband. While she was a student at Wells College, Aurora, N. Y., Mr. Cleveland was Governor of the State, and every week great hampers' of roses and other choice flowers arrived at the little lakeside village from Albany. During her Junior year he became

President, hut the flowers continued to arrive, and when she was graduated, in June, 1885, and a houseful of exotics and roses came to her, it was generally known that she had surrendered her heart. The class ivy of 1885, which still coils around and creeps up the walls of Morgan Hall, was sent by the President to his affianced bride, and she and her classmates planted it during a gentle June shower. The marriage, which took place in 1886, is well remembered, and when little Kuth came to the happy couple tlfe whole country was pleased. The child, by the way, was named after Ruth Tappan, a daughter of Mrs. Tappan, of Potsdam, N. Y., who was - a student in the class of ’B9 at Wells. Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland have a modest but attractive home in New York City, a* summer home, Gray Gables, at Buzzard’s Bay, Mass., and a country home at Lakewood, N. J. Mrs. Cleveland has shown little fondness for society, but the -massive doors of the “four hundred” have opened wide before her. Mrs. Cleveland is 28 years of age, having been born July 28, 1864. She was married' to the President June 2, 1886.
