out of the White House door. She was
watching for the carriage ut the window
of the reception room. When 1t came
up the carriage way she bolted out Of
the front door and was in the coach in rs
Hstle time as it takes TO tell it. She wore o
tailor made suit that was near the color Of
her hair, and turned up the collar Of her
Jacket as she found the air was damp and
cold. Sinclair, the footman jumped upon
the hex with Hawkins, and the carriage
rolled out between the pillars as rapidly as
it came, and turned down Pennsylvania
avenue. AS he pulled up before the depot
the driver looked at bis watch and finding
he had five minutes to spare, turned up and
down the street, while Miss Cleveland, who
had come out at dawn to meet her brothers
sweetheart, put her head out OF the window
and told Hawkins not to go too far away.
HER SECOND EREAND.
She had been to the same depot in that
same carriage shortly before midnight to re-
ceive her sisters and other friends. and was
again illustrating the devotion and determ-
nation that are her strongest Characters
tics. It is said that she preferred to go to the
station at that hour Of the morning alone
There was no reason in the minds of other
people why she should, but she had motive
Of her own, and people think she knows this
way Of emphasizing her affection for her
brothers bride and her d,savowal of the
feelings that have been attributed to her
concerning this marriage Her quick ear
discerned the sound Of an approaching train,
and she called to Albert, who turned
Siv$t, w.
were driving away from the station But the
plan had been prearranged and was under
stood by those in the car as we'll as the lady
in the carriage. The car, which was at the
rear Of the train, was detached before the
engine entered the depot and shunted upon
a spur that runs outside along the street,
and which is usually occupied by postal
cars. The White House carriage pulled up
alongside the car where it stopped and two
uniformed porters appeared promptly with
their arms full of bundles and travelling
! bags Ben Folsom was the next to alight,
and he, too, carried heavy deck load of
! parcels which looked very much as if they
had come to hand after the trunks had been
packed. BE tossed them to Miss Cleveland,
wko remained in the carriage, and then
turned to assist Mrs Folsom and the bride to
alight
HOW THE BRIDE WAS DRESSED
The latter wore black silk so covered
with jet that it shimmered like an armor,
and her natty waist was covered with a
! jacket Of gray cashmere. Her hat was a
white chip with black bows and ravens
wing standing up coquettishly. She had
three or four little parcels in her hands---and
| a scarlet umbrella. Her greeting to Miss
! Rose" as she addressed the presidents Sis
ter, was quite gay, and neither by her ap.
pearance nor her manner did she show the
effects Of nights travel and an early
awakening. Mrs Folsom and her daughter
climbed the carriage while Uncle Ben
acted as supercargo in slowing away the
| freight inside and outside the coach. There
! was good deal of merriment when he
climbed into the carriage, which was already
pretty well crowded, and he gave the por-
| tiers silver dollar, while Miss Folsom gave
them smile as the carriage drove away
! It was not "bride's morning." fog hung
over the city so densely as to conceal the
capital dome, and moisture was oozinR from
! the planks along the station. The air was
| murky and heavy, and the few people whe
were about at that hour took no notice o.
the presidents carriage if they recognized
| it.
| ARRIVED AT THE WHITE HOUSE
| It was a few minutes after when the
| party rolled up under the porte cachet of the
White House, and was there met by half s
dozen doorkeepers and porters, who assisted
Smelain, the footman, TO carry the bundles
| into the vestibule. They appeared to be on
| the lookout. and gave their future mistress
hearty welcome Jerry, the colored man
who has grown gray in the service Of presi-
dents but still has the air of lord of high
degree. led Mr. Folsom and the other ladies
through the wide vestibule to the elevator.
Not more than half an hour passed when a
baggage van arrived loaded with pretentious
trunks, the most of which were of large di-
mansions and substantial appearance. Some
! had red cross on either end, while others
bore the letter IF" of large size in black
print The porters who carried them acted
as IL they were heavy, and the looks of the
collection suggested that somebody had
come to the White House to stay. The pres
ident had been up for some minutes when
the bride arrived and was taking q cup Of
coffee in the library when the carriage
drove up
-t COFFEE WITH THE PRESIDENT
The ladies and Nh: Folsom sat down with
hina, and coffee with biscuits was ordered for
i've. While the party were chatting briskly
Mrs. Hoyt came in from her room, which adj
joins the library, kissed the bride ON both
cheeks and drew chair closely to her The
events Of yesterday and the plans for the
day We're discussed for awhile, and then the
bride was led away to what was known az
the Garfield chamber, which Miss Nelson oc-
cupted last night A breakfast of ahad and
chops and cucumbers was served at O'clock,
and after that the bride disappeared, and
was not visible until luncheon at q Those
who impaired for her were told that che was
busy uEpacking, and as che has no maid one
OF the servants OF the house assisted
her. n The epoem in ivory satin was shaken
