Southern type of burnette. The ladies
who were dining in the room with her
were not overanxious, but all took look
at the ex-president's daughter. She bore
the chances with calmness and was not in
the least disturbed. Miss Davis is dis
tinguished looking, tall and sylph like
but not handsome. Her carriage and de-
! pertinent, though, are so refined and per-
feet that any one not knowing her would
turn to look at her twice.
! Last evening the train that bore Mrs
President Cleveland to this city also had
Miss Davis for passenger. The two
ladies soon discovered that the same en-
CINE was bringing them both to this city
but they held no communication. Mrs
Cleveland was in a special parloI car
with Secretary Endicott and wife, and
evinced no desire to see Miss Davis who
was in parlor car ahead of her. The
latter was not anxious to see the Pres
ident's wife. whom she expected to meet
in Richmond some weeks ago. General
Joseph r. Anderson and wife accompanied
Miss Davis, but the party did not discuss
Mrs. Cleveland because the subject had
been exhausted when the latter failed to
visit Richmond with the President. When
the party reached Jersey Miss Davis and

Miss Winnie Davis left the New York
Hotel at 10 o'clock this morning to wit

Messing the hunt without participating
for Miss Davis does not ride so we'll, she
was the guest of Lieutenant William II
Emory, who resides near Roslyn, where
she will remain until Monday. General
Anderson who came from Virginia with
her, said N conversation to-day that Miss
Davis was not chagrined because Mrs
Cleveland did not go to Richmond and
attend the ball, and added, "But of course
we expected Mrs. Cleveland, and made
grand preparations to receive her. AS
President Cleveland is a Democrat, and
we are all Democrats down there, we
thought it strange he did not bring his
wife. But Miss Davis has not expressed
herself on the subject. She is very mod
est, and would say nothing to cause com
| ment."
