noon receptions on certain days of the
week for the benefit of thousands of
strangers who wish to meet the preSi-
dents wife. She has held her after
noon receptions as we'll, and she has sat
opposite the president at state dinners.
She has at the same time attended to
her domestic duties, and much of her
leisure has been spent with her friend,
Mrs. Postmaster General Villas,
who has been ill during the
whole season. Mrs. Cleveland has
not allowed society to carry her
away from her religious duties. She
has been constant in her church attend
ance, and after the biggest receptions

standing the weather has often been
bad and the slush six inches deep. The
church she and the president attend is
one Of the most modest in the city and
there has been nothing OStentatiOuS or
phariSaical in the religious life of our
presidents wife. She has been inter
ested in missionary work. and she has
attended some of the little socials of the
church and made herself perfectly at
home with her feliOW-C Christians and
their children.

and, though she has an apolIinariS

drinks no wine. she does not, as did
Mrs. President Hayes, dictate to others
as to what they shall do in such mat
tiers. She has, at the same time, en-
joyed her social duties, and she has
looked more queenly than ever in them
She entered this winter with an entire
wardrobe OF new dresses, and few of
her last seasons costumes have been
seen this year.
She enjoys out-Of-door life too. and
some of her happiest days Of the past
year were spent while presiding over
her home at Oak View. She has shown
herself a good driver, and she has lately
taken number of walks in which she
has been accompanied by her big mas
tiff. She goes about unaSSumingly in
Washington and she does her own shop
ping, and you may see her often during
the week at the bookstores, picking up
the latest in literature, and especially
poetry. | have yet to hear of her hav-
ing an enemy among the ladies OF Wash
ington society, and this is indeed very
extraordinary situation, and one which,
| venture, cannot be found among the
White house ladies of the past. The
secret Of the whole is that Mrs. Cleve-
land is lady, and that she acts natur-
ally and judges all things by the stand
ard OF good American common sense.

Monroe or the tropics. Mrs. Fairchiid is
very womanly WOman-and she is a
very pretty woman, tOO-Stralght, fine
looking and well formed; she has a
graceful figure and she dresses in eX-

one hundred years ago as the
agent of the Holland Land company,

is thus connected by marriage to Roscoe

The Fairchild mansion is made up of
large rooms. A wide hall runs,through
the center. and it is admirably adapted
TO entertaining. During the season
Mrs. Faircilild has given number of
dinners, and her dinner to President
and Mrs. Cleveland was especially fine,
At this the table was set with fine
old china and cut-glass. and in the cen
ter was an oval mirror. Wreathed in
yellow tulips, set amid ferns and
smiaX. Upon this mirror rested tall
branched chandelier. the tapers OF
which were capped with white
shades, and at the ends were oval
cushions of scarlet tulips, beside which
stood pyramids Of fruits and dishes of
conserves and pineaples. Mrs. Far
child is good cOnversationalist. She
keeps up with the times, and she is a
woman Of bread reading and culture.

A cowboy from Fort Worth, Tex, happened 70
be In Chicago the other day and a. he wandered
about the streets Of the city, dropped into saloon
where dozen mirrors reflected the makeup Of the
man from the plains. AS this child Of nature
glanced behind him and his full figure reflected
In large looking glass, he stopped to admire the
manly physique and the graceful poise of the SOM
brero.
81 know the reason that everybody puts on their
best clothes here" he said to his companion, 'sfor
the tailors put up their signs the top Of these
looking glasses. A man never knows how he looks
until he gets In q saloon and sees the at OF his
clothes from half dozen points Of the compass.n
Suddenly the cowboy noticed the barkeeper draw q
glass OF water from the hydrant.
"Where does that water come from?" he asked as
he leaned over the bar and turned glass of red
liquor round and round.
The barkeeper fixed his white necktie In place
and said; "From Lake Michigan, by way of the
water works"
At that moment some one called for q glass Of
beer; and, rs the amber liquid gurgled from fau-
Get, the Texan looked puzzled because no beer vat
was in sight
docs the beer come from Lake Michigan, too?"
he asked as he laid his white hat on the bar.

pipes running to the brewery and a metre over
there tells just how much beer we use"

Learning of his call, my friend at went back
to see him and found him seated and smoking
pipe, while his slipshod, shabby pipe-be
standing about him. He made no offer to rise, but

With admirable presence Of mind, my friend,
appearing not to notice the man, walked through

The mudir, on being summoned appeared, and
was received with the lofty condescension of q

his seat and reckoning to chair. The whole man
was at once changed. He was in q manner degraded
before his servants he cringed fawned and finally
departed like whipped dog.
