all good men and women since the world
begun. 1t is not, therefore, to be under.
taken lightly or unadvisedly, but soberly,
directly and in the fear of God. Into this
holy state this man and this woman come
now to enter. If any now can show just
cause why they may not be lawfully unit.

The bridegroom placed the ring on the
brides finger.

much as Grover and Frances have here
agreed and covenanted to live together
after Gods ordinance in the holy estate

by giving and taking a wedding ring,

AT the conclusion of the ceremony the
President kissed his sister, but did not
extend similar greeting to his wife.
Throughout the ceremony the bride re.
tanned wonderful self-possession, as did
also the President. Mrs Folsom. showing
traces of deep emotion, was the first to
tender her congratulations to the newly
married pair. She was followed by Miss
Cleveland, the Rev. Mr.. Cleveland and
the other relatives and friends in turn.
The gentlemen present were not fortu.
nate enough TO receive a salute from 1she
bride, who confined her kisses to the la
dies. Otherwise the ceremony was or.
thodox in form. While the congratula.
tiens were in progress the band, discours.
cd sweet music while the President and
his wife led the way into the stately East
Room. From the East Room the compa-
ny proceeded, after a season of promo
nading and conversation, to the family
dining-room of the Mansion, where the
wedding supper was served.
There was no formal order observed in
the supper room, but collation. was
served and the guests sat at small tables
or slowly promenaded the room as they
discussed the menu and chatted over the
event of the evening. When the orches.
ira was playing one of its happiest selec-
tions and the guests were gathered about
the tables. the bride quietly slipped away
to her room and changed her wedding
dress for heavy gray silk travelling dress.
She then returned to her company and
was soon afterward Joined by the Presi-
dent, who had in the meantime changed
his dress suit for travelling costume.
This was about $50 o'clock and the Pres
ident and his bride said hasty Good
by" TO their friends and left the house
through private exit from the Red Room
into the south grounds As they were
stepping into the carriage, which was
waiting at the back door, members of the
company threw rice and slippers after the
happy couple. One slipper hit the Pres
ident squarely on the head, and knocked
off the silk hat he was wearing. An at.
tendant quickly picked it up, and in an.
other moment the carriage was out of
sight. After leaving the White House
the newly married pair were quickly
driven 10 the intersection of the Balti.

train with Presidents CARROTS private
car stood in waiting. Before anybody
knew of their departure they were twenty
miles out of town bound for Deer Park,
where they will occupy one of the cot
tages owned by the Garrett estate.
Deer Park is q summer resort and was
built by the Baltimore and Ohio Railway
Company. 1t is situated along the line OF
the railway on beautiful site 5000 feet
above the sea level and 1888 miles south
west Of Washington. 1t contains num-
Der of pretty cottages, good hotel and \
church; the population is 1875 persons. At
this season of the year it is practically
closed to visitors. The Presidents inten-
tion is to remain there about ten days.
What Mrs. Cleveland will do next sea-
son will! determine. Until that time she
will be quite free from social demands,
and this six months grace, will be some
thing of preparatory school in which
she can prepare herself for the social du.
ties imposed by her position as wife of
the President. But 1t is not after all so
difficult place as that Of Cabinet off.
GERS or Senator's wife. The Presidents
wife need return no calls She is exempt
from all visiting duties, and may decline
all invitations out, without giving offence.
Receiving and entertaining in the White
House include her duties to the public
and to official society 1t is all within the
four walls there, and after certain num-
Der of prescribed receptions and dinners
to officials the President and, his family
may consider their duty to society and
the public as done. As the season lasts
only about four months, the other eight
months of the year, may to q great ex
tent be private property of the Presidents
family. But in the four months there Is
little time not demanded by the public,
