ROSE ELIZABETH CLEVELAND.


out of the White House door. She was
watching for the carriage at the window
of the reception room When it came
up the carriage way she bolted out of
the front door and was in the coach in as
little time as it takes to tell it. She wore a
tailor made suit that was near the color of
her hair and turned up the collar Of her
Jacket as she found the air was damp and
cold Sinclair, the footman, jumped upon
the box with Hawkins, and the carriage
rolled out between the pillars as rapidly as
it came, and turned down Pennsylvania
avenue As he pulled up before the depot
the driver looked at his watch and finding
he had five minutes to spare, turned up and
down the street. while Miss Cleveland, who
had come out at dawn to meet her brother s
sweetheart, put her head out of the window
and told Hawkins not to go too far away.
HER SECOND ERRAND.
She had been to the same depot in that
same carriage shortly before midnight to re-
ceive her sisters and other friends, and was
again illustrating the devotion and determ-
nation that are her strongest characteris-
tics 1t is said that she preferred to go to the
station at that hour of the morning alone.
There was no reason in the minds of other
people why she should, but she had a motive
of her own, and people think she knows this
way of emphasizing her affection for her
brothers bride and her dsavowal of the
feelings that have been attributed to her
concerning this marriage. Her quick ear
discerned the sound of an approaching train,
and she called to Albert, who turned
the horses down Sixth street as if he
were driving away from the station But the
plan had been prearranged and was under
stood by those in the car as well as the lady
in the carriage The car, which was at the
rear of the train, was detached before the
engine entered the depot and shunted upon
a spur that runs outside along the street,
and which is usually occupied by postal
cars. The White House carriage pulled up
alongside the car where it stopped, and two
uniformed porters appeared promptly with
their arms full of bundles and travelling
bags Ben Folsom was the next to alight.
and he, too, carried a heavy deck load of
parcels which looked very much as if they
had come to hand after the trunks had been
packed He tossed them to Miss Cleveland,
who remained in the carriage, and then
turned to assist Mrs Folsom and the bride to
alight
HOW THE BRIDE WAS DRESSED.
The latter wore black silk so covered
with jet that it shimmered like an armor,
and her natty waist was covered with q
Jacket of gray cashmere. Her hat was a
white chip with black bows and o ravens
wing standing up coquettishly. She had
three or four little parcels in her hands-and
a scarlet umbrella Her greeting to @Misi
Rose," as she addressed the presidents sis
ter, was quite gay, and neither by her ap-
peasance nor her manner did she show the
effects of a nights travel and an early
awakening Mrs Folsom and her daughter
climbed the carriage while Uncle Ber
acted as supercargo in slowing away the
freight inside and outside the coach. There
was good deal of merriment when hf
climbed into the carriage, which was already
pretty well crowded, and he gave the por.
ters silver dollar, while Miss Folsom gave
them a smile as the carriage drove away.
1t was not "bride's morning." fog hung
over the city SO densely as to conceal the
capital dome. and moisture was oozing from
the planks along the station The air wa.
murky and heavy, and the few people who
were about at that hour took no notice o
the presidents carriage If they recognized
It.
ARRIVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
1t was few minutes after when tn
party rolled up under the porte cachet of tht
White House, and was there met by half ,
dozen doorkeepers and porters, who assisted
bmelain, the footman, to carry the bundles
into the yestibule. They appeared to be or
the lookout, and gave their future mistress
hearty welcome. Jerry, the colored mar

Degree led Mr.. Folsom and the other ladie
through the wide vestibule to the elevator
Not more than half an hour passed when {
baggage van arrived loaded with pretentiou'
trunks, the most of which were Of large di
mensions and substantial appearance. Some
had red cross on either end, while otherl
bore the letter IF" of large size in black
print. The porters who carried them actei
as If they were heavy, and the looks of th'
collection suggested that somebody had
come to the White House to stay. The pres
ident had been up for some minutes when
the bride arrived and was taking q cup oi
coffee In the library when the carriage
drove up
COFFEE WITH THE PREsDENE
The ladies and Mr. Folsom sat down will
him, and coffee with biscuits was ordered TO
fve While the party were chatting briskly
Mrs. Hoyt came in from her room, which ad
joins the library, kissed the bride on boil
cheeks and drew chair closely to her. The
events of yesterday and the plans for the
day were discussed for awhile, and then the
bride was led away to what was known Al
the Garfield chamber, which Miss Nelson oc
cupied last night. A breakfast Of shad and
chops and cucumbers was sci we'd at 8 o'clock
and after that the bride disappeared, ant
