Folsom, with her mother and u~in, Ben Fol-
som, Travelled from New York t. Washington
to meet her president bridegroom, after the
fashion of ladies who wed kings and en-
perors. In the gray Of the morning the
snow-white dome Of the Capitol doomed into
sight to Frank Clara, as sweel bride AS
ever the sun one on, bless her. just such
a girl as ought 10 be first lady in a republic.
If you have read the proceed nSs Of her
arrival you viii find she does not trave
with maid or even nasty little lap dog.
Best OF all, when she was getting ready to
leave the New York hotel for Washington,
she helped pack her trunks with her own
fair, independ mt hands 1t is a credit to
her 1t shows there is none of the silly snob
about her, at least as far as we know.
Our picture is a copy of the very last
photograph Of her, in her beautiful wedding
gown Ii that wedding dress is further
index of her character, then once more
Grover and the country are to be congratu-
lated 1t was in exquisite taste simple and
dgnified 1t was very rich corded ivory
white satin with plain rounded train five
yards long
The train flowed plain in two organ
plaits fran the waist, and had no trimming

He had planned to slip out the back way
with his new wife, jump into a carriage
which wasn't the ordinary White House one,

made a Gordon around the White House
grounds. and watched every slit where pig
could crawl through.
When the bride had Just tasted the supper
and taken n bit of the wedding cake she
changed her royal gown for one to travel in,
and she and her new husband dartei out the
back gate and into the carriage that waited
for them. 1t took an obscure out Of the way
route to the station But fifty newspaper
mel were too many to be fooled Those
who stool guard had cabs waiting at every
entrance. They made common cause in pur-
suit of their aim. Every time a carriage,
whose occupants were not seen plainly and
recognized left the grounds, young man
with a note book and pencil hidden some
where about him sprang lightly and sweetly
inc q cab and followed that carriage to its
destination So you see how impossible it
would have been to do anything without the
knowledge of the press. The train next
after the special one by which the president
travelled whirled the fifty journalists right
on behind him Next morning, when Mr..
Cleveland's view roamed over tn blue noun

The wedding cake weighed twenty-five

She still wears her widow cap and mourn

black to lavender silk on the occasion of
her daus hters wedding. She is said TO be

There was one sad omission at this other

not kiss his new wife after the ceremony.
Nobody kissed her, nobody at all Rose
Elizabeth reached up and saluted the pres-
