THE ENGAGEMENT.
A curious story is told of the presidents
engagement He has known Miss Folsom
since she was baby. He has handled her
on his knee as little girl, and has been her
great friend all her life. She used to call
him Uncle Cleve, and he has kept up a cor
respondence with her for many years He
never thought of her in the way of marriage
until a year or so ago. She had gone away
to school a girl, and came back woman
Still he never though of the possibility of an
old fellow like him marrying such pretty
young girl as frankie Folsom, until while he
was governor at Albany some matchmaking
correspondent disseminated report that he
was engaged to her. The next time he saw
he1 they chatted and laughed over the re-
port After a time, Gov. Cleveland's love
father to the lover. His letters to Miss
Folsom became more tender, and she
at the same time inwardly knowing that she
was doing SO, changed the tone of her let
tiers to him. She stopped calling him
@Uncle Cieve" and spoke of him as sthe
governor" He sent her flowers and wrote
her humorous stories of his experience at
Albany. She was deeply interested in his
presidential canvass, and her enthusiasm
pleased the president more than anything
else connected with the campaign The
possibility of marriage, which had been
slowly working it's way into President Cleve-
lands heart, became stronger force than
ever. He became now thoroughly in love,
and at the time he was elected president he
determined that he would propose during
the first year of the administrator. He felt
very delicate about it, however, for the
reason that Miss Folsom was so much
Younger than himself, and that she was his
ward
Still he thought she loved him, and he
knew that he was more and more in love
with her every day. This was the state of
affairs when Miss frankie and her mother
came at his invitation to spend a week or 80
at the White House during the last Easter
vacation. They thoroughly enjoyed the
visit President Cleveland was being exalted
to the skies in the newspapers and the air of
toadying Washington was full of his praises
The warm White House was very beautiful
in contrast with cold New York The grass
was beginning to creep out Of the ground,
and the buds were showing signs of bursting
forth into the leaves of early spring. The
crocuses were in bloom The presidents
mansion was filed with flowers from his
greenhouse and the great Conservatives
were one mass of blossoms and green. It
was the day after a reception, and the
family had Just eaten their dinner from

which was laid beside her plate, and had
pinned it into the lace at her neck President
Cleveland, contrary to his usual custom,
came to the table in full dress His day had
been q pleasant one, and he was feeling very

school days, and she kept the party in q roar

and the secret love affairs of the beautiful
