entrance. They made common cause in pur-
suit of their aim. Every time carriage,
whose occupants were not seen plainly and
recognized, left the grounds, young man
with note book and pencil hidden some
where about him sprang lightly and sweetly
into cab and followed that carriage to its
destination. So you see how impossible it
would have been to do anything without the

Herewith is an authentic picture of Mrs.
Folsom, Franl1ie's mother, 1t is from
photograph by Mr.. McMchael, of Buffalo.
Mrs. Folsom does not really look more than
ten years younger than her new son-in-law
She still wears her widows cap and mourn
ing for the late Oscar. She changed her
black to lavender silk on the occasion of
her daughters wedding. She is said to be
small and shrinking, while her daughter is
tall and stately.
There was one sad omission at this other
wise beautiful wedding. The husband did
not kiss his new wife after the ceremony.
Nobody kissed her, nobody at all Rose
Elizabeth reached up and saluted the presi-
dents ample cheek, but that was all the os-
eulation there was Now, the spectacle of
an unkissed bride is a sad one. Perhaps she
liked it that fashion, but it was no sort Of
way for any right-minded girl to do

REV. DIR BYRON SUNDERLAND
DR.. Sunderland has a swarthy earnest
face, with black eyes, and look as though
dyspepsia was not all unknown to him.
He is a Vermonter, who came to Washing
ton before the war. He is nearly GO years
old, said TO be hot-tempered and very bossy.
Many years ago DIR. Sunderland was the
minister Of a church which the Cleveland
family attended in central New York That
was why the president choose hint for his pas
tor in Washington.
1t is said that the presents to the bride
amount to not less than 100000 One
diamond necklace is said to be worth Sl5,-
600. A newspaper reporter writes that the
Tiffanys said that Tuesday, June /, was the
biggest day in tho history Of the firm. that
all The foreign ministers and cabinet officers
seemed TO be buying presents at once. But
nobody knows whether this is true or not.
The reporters got hold Of the style Of sta
tionery used by Miss frankie, and described
it in their graphic way. The paper is
smooth, large and pure white. The presi-
dents bride does not affect the nonsensical
little colored note paper that so many girls
are devoted to. But the man point about
it is that the young lady uses coat Of arms,
and has it stamped upon her paper How's
that for Jeffersonian simplicity! howl the
gossips, Well, there is really nothing un-
republican about the use of a coat of arms
1t only shows ones descent, that one had
ancestors whom he can trace back II is
merely an interesting record of family his

Married in the Blue RoOm-An Un-
kissed Bride--Mother-in-Law Folsom.
They Couldn't Fool the Reporters-The
Bride Does Not Promise to Obey.

Frank Clara Folsom Is the first bride OF a
president who was ever married in the
White House. 1t was probably her pretty,
girlish wish that the wedding should take
place there. 1t was what a girl would nat
urally like. The president seems to have
yielded to her wishes in almost everything,
much more indeed than was to have been
expected from a bachelor of his nature
years and stubby make up.
All the world knows by this time whether
It was Miss or Mrs. Folsom that the presi-
dent was going to marry. But there are
many things more all the world would like
to know, which, unfortunately it will prob
ably never find out. For instance where
and how was the courting done, and when
was the question poppedl That's what an
admiring country would like to know.
There was Private Secretary Col Daniel
Lamont. He has proved himself worth his
weight in gold He superintended the presi-
dents wedding trousseau, as the funny
papers called it He decided just the shade
Of lilac gray that predominated in the dress
ing gown, the exact width OF the diagonal
ribbed stripe in the wedding trousers. Danl
met the bride down the bay, took her to the
Gilsey house, in New York. and then hur-
ried back toWashington to see that the dining
room chairs were set in the proper place.
Dan'l got the license and saw the minister.
He coached the president about the proper
time to put the ring upon the brides finger.
Now, the query arises, Didn't Danl pop the
question, tool Grover never had any prac-
tice in these little matters.
The parson who married the pair was Dr.
Sunderland, the presidents pastor, a Presby
terian and Republican.
