her coming nuptials with President
Cleveland. Miss Folsom has been So
journing 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 men. The daily walks of
the prospective bride have been the
theme of many g chatty and vivacious
letter from Paris correspondents, and
the trousseau, which she is busily pre-
pairing, has undergone the most detail

forth; it anticipates in manner
that prevents her surprising her
friends with those inventions which
Partisan modistes have been doing
their best upon for so many weeks. It

be worthy of him. Owing to the off.

able to join his fiancee in Paris and to
go shopping with her, but he has had
emissaries at the French Capital, as

searched for new and appropriate
goods for personal adornment, and il

President first appears in the role oil
happy bridegroom, the social world
will be all agog with amaze at his cffu!.
