wife. His brother came forward first to
present his congratulations, and he kissed
the bride with resoundng smack No
other guest went through this form of
congratulation, even the mother of the
bride contenting herself with giving her
daughter a warm shake Of the hand. Mr.

! Cleveland and Mr.. Lamar showered com
| pliments upon her He said that he had
never in his life seen any one who SO
completely satisfied his ideal OF mistress
of the White House. "You will not
| only rule As a queen in the White House,
he said, but you will also be a queen i'm
all of our hearts," This with bow,
which Mr.. Lamar alone knows how tn
make, was considered the gem compli-
ment of the evening. There was brief
period of Sossiping, careless, happy talk,
and then, at the invitation of Col La

and Mrs. Cleveland into the main hall
and thence to the family dining room on
| the right, where refreshments were served.
The guests did not sit down, but stood
up around the long table, upon which
were croquettes, game, cold meats, salads,
ices and creams. Champagne was served
with the supper.
