WASHINGTON, March l3-Socieiy cir
CIeveiaHd's plebeiAn habit Of breakfast
ing at 8 O'Clock. and working in bis shirt
sleeves. He IL credited with feeling a
contempt for society, as 1t Is constituted
here at the Capital. His attitude IN
this respect IL all the more noticeable
when contrasted sith the habits of his
predecessor. Mr.. Arthur's administra-
tion was a continued delight to society
people. With his oourtiy manners, bis
ssthetie tastes ana a bevy of charming
ladies in the fragrant pariors, the White
House grew 10 b. sort Of Windsor
Castle. to be admitted to which all soci-
ETY. people felt honored. They are nov
disposed to look upon Cleveland as a
crusly old bachelor, With severe ideas
Of business aud real contempt for so
ciety therefore society feels a little
rebeilious, and Some of it's leaders have
already resolved to keep away from the
White House altogether. People who
are well acquainted with the President
say that this resolve, IL faithfully kept,
will afford him almost as much satisfac-
ton as the withdrawal of the politicians.
