THE ENGAGEMENT.
A curious story is told of the presidents
engagement. He has known Miss Folsom
since she was q baby. He has handled her
on his knee as 4 little girl, and has been her
great friend all her life. She used to call
him Uncle Cleye, andhe has kept up a cor
~respondcnce with her for many wears. He
never thought of her in the way of marriage
until a year or SO ago. She had gone away
to school u girl. and came back a woman.
Still he never though of the possibility Of al
old fellow like HIM marrying such u pretty
young girl as Frankie Folsom, until while he
was governor at Albany some matchmaking
correspondent disseminated 4 report that he
was engaged to her. The next time he saw
Le1 they caattcd and laughed over the re
port. After q time, Gov Clevclands love
began to change from that OF the
father to the lover. His letters to Mis-,
Folsom became more tender, and she
at the same time inwardly knowing that she
was doing so, changed the tone of her let
tiers to him. She stopped calling him
Uncle Cieye' and spoke of him as "thc
governor" He sent her flowers aud wrote
her humorous stories of his experience at
Albany. She was deeply interested III his
presidential canvass, and her enthusiasm,
pleased the president more than anything
else connected with the campaign. The
possibility OF marriage, which had been
slowly working its way into President Cleye-
lands hcart, became a stronger force than
ever. He became now thoroughly i'll love,
and ut the time he was elected president he
determined that he would propose durng
the first year OF the administration He felt
very dciicate about it, however, for the
reason that Miss Folsom was so much
Younger ihan himself, and that she was his
ward.
Still he thought she loved him, and he
knew that he was more and more in love
with her every day. This was the state of
affairs when Miss frankie and her mother
came at his invitation to spend q week or so
at the White House during the last Easter
vacation. They thoroughly enjoyed the
visit. President Cleveland was being exalted
to the skies III the newspapers and the air OF
toady!ng Washington was full of his praises
