The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1888-11-20

President and Col. Lamont arrived for din
r. On Thursday morning she returned
with the Preside { and busted herself with
be personal affairs until callers came,
when she appeared as radiant as usual and
as apparently unconscious of self. Only
her friends were admitted, aud she seemed
to enjoy their presence. To one lady, Tor
whom she has a strong liking and IS on
Somewhat intimate terms, she said very
seriously: i am sorry for the President,
and for his sake wish it had been otherwise,
but what cannot be helped must be met
"'You will stay among us here after next
March, we all hope was said to her III re-
ply.
TOO early to talk of that smilingly

try home here and we love New York, and
we women follow our husbands fortunes,

her friend.
az have never had cause to be long
otherwise. The old gay manner had come
back, and Mrs. Cleveland was soon laugh
ing and talking with other callers. This
same friend in speaking afterward with
Mrs. Folsom, remarked upon her daughters
admirable manner and behavior, and in
complimentary terms spoke of her career
as the lady of the white house,
Mrs. Folsom listened and then made the
reply that from her earliest years her
daughter had been of a loving, joyous
nature, and not even sickness could dampen
her ardor. She is always the same happy
nature was the fond mothers comment as
she looked at her beautiful daughter.
''In speaking of the defeat of the Presi-
dent, this same authority said: you will
never hear of anything imprudent emanat-
ing from Mrs. Cleveland She is wonder
fully prudent and cautious in all her words
and conduct. The President has the great
N<1fh Il,
in his heart too happy to be long cast down
by political fortune. Though older, CON
sideraoly, than she, he does not permit her
to realize it, and her affection for him is
extreme. Do you remember George Eliotts
saying that the happiest wife is she who
finds combined in her husband the tender
ness of a father with the devotion of a
husband? Mrs. Cleveland looks up to her
husband with the trust and confidence she
felt as a child in him, and she is very proud
of her hearts choice. He is indeed that as
you would have seen for yourself had you
witnessed their meeting after one of her
absences of several weeks not great while
ago. Mrs. Cleveland saw the coachman'S
livery from the car window at the depot,
and as she stepped to the door as the train
stopped she looked toward the carriage
anxiously. II was empty. and her face re-
vealed the disappointment she felt. The
President was directly beside her and saw
her eager glance and the look that sue
ceeded it. He smilingly touched her, and
as she caught sight of him she impetu-
ously threw herself into his arms. The
rosy, blushing face was kissed and the
President handed her to her seat and soon
the prancing horses had dashed away with
the happy pair
CHOW will she like to return to Buffalo?
"'Mr Cleveland has no Interests to take
him back there, and he viii live wherever
she will be happiest. There is no question
as to his future residence, and the matter
was decided long ago. He is not so ambi-
tious in any direction as he is for the happi-
ness of the beautiful girl who made a hero
of him before she was out of short dresses,
and who looks at him through the glamour
of loves young dream. The only comfort
| find in the defeat of the President is that
the public will have opportunity to correct
some misapprehensons entertained toward
him and his wife. He is peculiar man,
but one of the noblest in the world"
From this same lady whose familiarity
with the white house life entities her to
speak, were learned several pleasant facts,
all bearing out her assertion that no home
circle in the land is more delightful than
the Clevelands' She So id that Mrs Cleve-
land is extremely fond of pets and talks to
her dogs, COOS to her birds and caresses her
horses with a chld's delight. But when
others are about she at once restraints her
feelings and gives her pets oaly such notice
as is a necessary recognition of their de-
light at seeing her. So with her schoolgirl
friends. At the table she is as dignfied and
mature in manner as is the President, and
far more gracious naturally, but in her
private apartments her merry laugh and
gay conversation are heard continuously.
When she has her schoolmates with her the
President is ever ready with suggestions for
their entertainment, and he finds frequent
excuses for going to her sitting room, where
he is sure of a hearty welcome. There is
kind and friendly welcome for every one
whom his wife cares for, and as a host he is
most urbane aud attentive The long line
Of women who have presided as hostesSes Of
the white house have had new luster thrown
about the position by the graceful girl who
was the first and only one among Presi-
dents wives to celebrate her wedding in
the historical mansion. She will be ranked
in coming time with Mrs. Madison and
Miss Harriet Lane as one of the three most
popular women who have held the position.

Washingtons portrait should hang that of
