ROSE ELIZABETH CLEVELAND. ts5:
out of the White House door She waA
watching for the carriage at the window
of the reception ROOM When 1t came
up the carriage way she bolted out Of
the front door and was In the coach in as
little time us it takes to tell it. She wore o
tailor-made suit that was near the color Of
her hair, aud turned up the collar of her
jacket rs she found the air was damp and
cold SIciair, the footman, jumped upon
the box with Hawkins, and the carriage
rolled oat between the pillars az rapidly as
1t came, and turned ,dowc Pennsylvania
avenue As he pulled up before the depot
the driver looked at his watch and finding
he had i've minutes to spare, turned up and
down the street, while Miss Cleveland, who
had come out ut dawn to meet her brothers
sweetheart put her head ont 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 characters
tea It Is said that she preferred to 60 to the
station at that hour OF the morning alone
There was no reason In the minds of other
people why she should, but abe had motive
Of her own, and people think she knows this
way Of emphasizing her affection for her
brothers bride and her dlsavowal OF the
feelings that have been attributed to her
concerning this marriage Her quick ear
discetned 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
plum had been preartanged md 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
3 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 az If they
had come to hand after the trunks had been
packed. He tossed them to Miss Cleveland,
wi o; remained in the carriage, and then
turned to assist Mrs Folsom and the bride to
alight
HOW TIE BRIDE WAS DRESSED.
The latter wore black silk so covered
with Jet that 1t shimmered like an armor,
and her natty waist was covered with q
jacket of gray cashmere Her hat was q
white chip with black bows and ravens
wing standing up coquettish1y. She had
three or four little parcels in her hands-and
scarlet:umbrella Her greeting to sMiss
Rose" as she addressed the presidents Sis
ter, was quite gay, and neither by her ap-
pearance nor her manner did she show the
effects of nights travel and an early
awakening. Mrs. Folsom and her daughter
climbed the carriage while Uncle Ben
acted as supercargo in slowing away: the
freight inside and outside the coach. There
was good deal of merriment when ha
climbed into the carriage, which was already
pretty well crowded, and he gave the por-
ters o silver dollar, while Miss Folsom gave
them smile as the carriage drove away.
1t was not q abride's morning" A fog hung
over the city SO zdensely as to conceal the
capital dome. and moisture was oozing from
the planks along the station. The air was
murky and heavy, and the few people who
were about at that hour took no notice of
the presidents carringe if they recognized
it. .5a''iis5 =
ARRIVED AT. THE WHITE HOUSE
TWAS few minutes after when the
party rolled up under the porte cachet of the
White House, and was there met by half
dozen doorkeepers and porters, who assisted
smelain. the footman, TO carry the bundles
into the vestibple. They appeared to be on
the lookout, and gave their future mistress
: hearty welcome. Jerry, the colored man
who mas grown gray in the service of presi-
dents but still has the air of lord Of high
degree, led Mr.. Folsom and the other Indies
through the wide vest!bu1e to the elevator.
Not more than half an hour passed when q
baggage van arrived loaded with preEedi tions
trunks, the most OF which were Of larRe dt-
mensions and substantial appearance. Some
had. q red cross on either end, while others
bore the letter IF" OF large size In black
print The porters who carried them acted
as u they were heavy, and the looks Of the
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 Of
coffee In the library when the carriage
drove up. 81 e s S-.5T
