TIE 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 cor
respondence with her for many years He
never thought of her in the way of marriage
until year or so ago. She had gone away
to school girl, and came back a 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 match-m making
correspondent disseminated a report that he
was engaged to her. The next time he saw
he1 they chatted and laughed over the re-
| port. After time, Gov. Clevelands love
began to change from that of the
| 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
| eUncle Cleve" 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 its 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 thai he would propose during
the first year OF the administration. 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 hsr every day. This was the state of
| affairs when Miss frankie and her mother
| came at his invitation to spend week or so
| 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. Ihe presidents
mansion was filled with flowers from his
greenhouse, and the great coEservatories
We're one mass Of blossoms and green. Il
was the day after reception, and the
family had just eaten their dinner from
the elegant china and fine cut glass OF
the presidential table. Miss Folsom had
picked up the elegant bouquet du corsage
which was laid beside her plate, and had
pinned it into the lace at her neck President
