Social Affairs.

The week at the White House has passed
without special incident. Many of the Con-
gressmen and their wives paid farewell visits
to the President and Mrs. Cleveland in the
evenings, and the little impromptu soires
thus brought about were greatly enjoyed by
all concerned. Owing to the warm weather of
last week TIE Presidential drives were ex-
tended into the cOolhess of early evening, and
dinner is now served at the White House at
eight O'Clock. When Mrs. Cleveland and Mrs
Folsom drive aione they use the carriage, but
when the Presiuent accompanies them the
Victoria is brought around. The President sits
with his wife in the back seat and Mrs. Folsom
sits facing them.
The President will go upon his annual .vaca-
ton to the Adirondacks, but of course Mrs.
Cleveland cannot be expected to sit upon log
all day and sleep III tent at night. 1t has,
therefore, been arranged that they will stop at
one OF the mountain hotels, and the President
will sally forth each morn with fishing tackle,
and return with his finny prizes ia the even
ing 1t is probable that Mrs Folsom may at
tend her daughter upon the vacation trip.
