the pretty niece of Mrs. Folsom resides
with the presidents mother in-law at Oak
View. the Cleveland country cottage. Miss
May drives into the city every day TO school.
and Mrs. Folsom remains at the View 1t
is beginning to be talked about that the
president has banished his m0ther-n-a
just like ordinary men. But Mrs. Cleve

and the ladies take walks and drives in the
country out around and beyond Fort Reno.
When Mrs Cleveland is unable to visit her
mother they say that the telephone at the
White house is busy all day long and the
mother and daughter use it. The recep-
tions. or ''at homes" on Friday afternoons
are becoming just the thing. G street,
from the war department to the obServa-
tory hill. is lined with equpages from noon
until late in the evening. K street is also
taking Oh lively air. and the road to Oak
View is cloud of dust on Friday. Mrs.

examinations. Mrs. Justice Miller is also
receiving twice week and is assisted by
her grand daughter, Miss Lucy Corkhill,
the daughter of the late United States dis
trict attorney. Miss Corkhill is very
bright young lady. and has decided vocal
talents. She is very like her distinguished
father. Mrs. Miller. although a grand
mother. is as sprightly and winsOnle and
quick at repartee as when, thirty years ago,
she was the queen of social life at the capt.
tai of Iowa. Secretary and Mrs. Whitney
have been entertaining Minister Baron and
Madame Reuterskiold at their country
place. Grasslands. for several days recently.
Wednesdays and Saturdays are the days
fixed upon for the receptions of the
LADIES CT THE CABINET
and White house. The leaders of domestic
Washington society have concluded that it
would be bad FORM for them to receive
on those days, and hence, their houses are
closed. even to intimate friends, on those
days. They have ali concluded that it is
their duty to attend the Saturday receptions
will have the pleasant yet tiresome duty of
receiving greater numbers of social callers
on Saturday than have any of her distln-
guished predecessors. All of the ladies say
they just 'love the sweet little woman, ="
and they are determined that she shall have
the gayest winter ever had in the White
house Senator Malone gave spec al or
der to piano firm in New York, six
months ago. and has had splendid instru-
ment made which has cost an enormous
sum. 1t is nearly all handmade, and is
regarded as the finest piano ever manufac-
tured. He has presented it to Miss Ma
hone. who is a very clever performer. and
the young lady takes great pride in display
ing its beauties and qualities to her friends.
The case is of solid. polished rosewood. very
thick and heavy. 1t is a concert grand, and
its tones are said to be wonderfully strong,
sweet and clear.
