sented most emphatically from the positions
of the president, and especially from the

Society Circles Disguised with Cleveland
SAN Francisco, March l3-Chronicle's
special: Society circles are
terribly shocked at President Cleveland's
plebian habit of breakfasting at o'clock
and working in his shirt sleeves. During
Mr.. Arthur's administration the White
house grew to be a sort of Windsor castle,
to be admitted to which all society people
felt honored. They are now disposed to
look upon Cleveland as a crusty old bach
eor, with severe ideas of business and a
real contempt for society. Therefore society
feels little rebeilious, aud some of its
leaders have already resolved to keep away
from the White House altogether. People
who are well acquainted with the president
say that this resolve, if faithfully kept, will
afford him almost as much satisfaction as
the withdrawal of the politicians.
