THE NEW GRAY GABLES.

President Cleveland’s Pleasant Summer Resort. President C’eve’aad is once more with his family an t settled uowii for a short vacation at Gray Gables. This summer hme of the Clevelands on buzzard's Bay, though unpretentious, is a \e-y peasant place durirg the warn weather, and is one the President and his family visit every year with increa ed delight Here the Chief Executive with his wife and children can obtain rest

and q liet and a cessation of the many things which make official life so annoying in Washington. During the pa-t year additions have been made to Gray Gables which have much improved the place. As it now appears, the house has nine chambers, wh ch give the Cleveland family all the room they need and also allow them to entertain guests. The ro w are plainly furnished, and several of them have fine large fire-places where huge logs can be piled, affording not only heat but the home-like feeling that open fires only seem able to give. Perhaps the pleasantest room in the house is the sitting-room, a picture of whicn is here giien. This is the general meeting piaee for tr>e Clevelands, their children and their friends. It la a remarkably attractive room and has

an atmosphere of comfort which it would be nard to find surpassed anywhere. A view is also pre-ented cf the exterior of Gray Gables from wnichsomo idea of the house may be formed. Th© grounds have been laid out lately with greater care than hitherto and they now prove a most attractive feature of the place. On the whole Gray Gables may be considered an almost ideal summer home.
