Chicago Tribune, May 20.
For weeks the public has been re-
CALLED with accounts of the prepare
tions made by Miss Frances Folsom for
her coming nuptials with President
Cleveland. Miss Folsom has been So
iourning in Paris, just around the
corner from the establishment of NJ.
Worth, that eminent man-milliner who
is the friend of all women and the en-
envy of all mer- The daily walks of
the prospective bride have been the
theme of many ehatty and yiyacious
letter from Paris correspondents, and
the trousseau, which she is busily pre-
pairing, has undergone the most detail
ed and minute description. 1t is a lit
tie unkind to Miss Folsom to announce
to the world at large just what she will
wear at her wedding, at dinners, at re-
cepuons, ON the street and so
forth; it anticipates in a manner
that prevents her surprising her
/ friends with those inventions which
Partisan modistes have been doing
their best upon for SO many weeks. Ii
is unfair to the Presidents bride elect;
but how much more unfair is the slight
put upon the President in the matter of
describing the preparations for hi,
share of the festivities! Who has had
the discriminating courtesy to inform
the public what the President is to
wearP No one; at least no one until
now. A Tribune representative,
by special privilege has received from
an unquestionable source a complete
description of Mr.. Cleveland's trous-
seau. and can assure the public that
the world of fashion is going to be as
tonished at no very distant day by the
wonders that his wardrobe is to con
tain. All that good taste and none
tary outlay could do has been done to
secure for the Chief Magistrate a trous-
seau which in richness and variety will
be worthy of him. Owing to the ofli-
cial duties, the President has been I'M
able to join his liancee in Paris and to
90 shopping with her, but he has had
emissaries al the French Capital, as
well as in other portions of the world
where purple and fine linen and Jewels
and precious stones may be picked up
at bargain, and many articles have
been obtained that cannot be duplicat-
ed. The native marts have also been
searched for new and appropriate
goods for personal adornment, and ii
may be prophesied that, when the
President first appears in the role of
happy bridegroom, the social world
will be all agog with amaze at his eflul-
gent resplendency.
One of the first articles 10 attract
the eye of connOisseur of clothes is
the wedding suit. This has been well
described as a poem in broadcloth.
1t was purchased, it is understood,
BY Secretary Manning during his re-
cent visit to New York. Meandering.
with the air of bouevardiere, down
Chatham street one day Mr.. Manning's
attention was attracted TO the bon
marche of the well-known collector
Mr.. Morris Oppenheimer, whose crest
is three golden balls couchant. Before
the door stood this miracle Of broad
cloth draped upon wire figure and
bearing the legend, This style only
$50" The quick eye of the Secretary
sew the value Of the suit at glance.

away by enthusiasm, rushed out and
