CLASS IN CALIsTHENIC5.

Cial:y Of American history. Sac considers
that the foundation OF 8 Wom1n's educa-
ton Should be thorough knowledge CT
her own country. She aims with her
class Of girls to develop sud cultivated
patriotic spirit; in short, 10 evolve new
type Of girl, who will be Americsn at
heart as we'll SIS by birth. Thu lad" OF
society is TO be anything other than Amer
lean, and t il her sim 30 cultivate in her
students an aversion to tbs fashionable
afectati5n. She requires her clGss in
American history TO present IN writing
tleir answers regarding the ext, she
giVlg t. ks and lectures 10 the Class, and
aIso secures the help Of celebrated men
from various parts OF the country IN this
department If her wOrk. as Mrs. Reed
is now in Italy, Miss Cleveland is the
reigniGg spirit, and IL really the head #
the establishment. They have about 100
pupils and eighteen teachers.
She says that southern girls are won
deriully clever, and though not hsVipg
been disciplined 20 ary special regime,
t2eY get mo harness easily, are thor
oughly progressive aud very quick in
their perceptions. She thinks New York
city 8 Wholesome place for girl reared
in the C0uctry or quiet town. It is q
grand rEllyjng place Of the successful
and gifted, and presents one an oppor-
tuGitY to come in contact with bright
people, which begets bri'liancy, as the
touch Of steel sgaipst steel flashes fire. A
CT bred girl may go to the country, she
says, in pursuance of the same principle
to come in contact with nature, which
furnishes food for reflection.
Miss Cleveland has had fine success SO
far, and st present knows no reason why
she will not continue with Mrs. Reed, but
she says she cannot speak decisiveiy on
tlis point 81 present.
She has beautiful rooms with warm,
rich hsngings, q soft harmony OF color,
open wood fires withlarge brass audirons.
I spoke of the warmth and cheer of &
wood FIRE, aud SIZE remarked thst 1t WAS
one of her weskDesses-that her man had
orders to light the fires in bed chambers
and drawing rooms, and to keep them
going, IS she always felt depressed by the
cheerless register, and, although wood
fires were an expensive luxury IN New
York, she determined to indulge in this
delightful pleasure. She thought the
"Reveriss OF Bachelor" would never
have been written il the author had never
seen the Goals leap up, the bright blazs
and the dead embers.
asked Miss Cleveland how she liked
her present duties compared to the social
demands Of the White House. she said
they were not so different, yet vastly off
ferent. Each had it's pleasures and its
compensation, and after year or more In
Washington, life grew monotonous,
though, perhaps, nowhere IN The world
can one learn to know life 80 thoroughly
fe&r of
Miss Cleveland finds very little time
for reading newspapers. she only reads
one morning psper while her
maid arrsnges her hair in the
morning. Size goes into society,
but in s very quiet wsy; has in
tormal luncheous and evenings ct home,
but accepts few invltstioIs. She dresses
handsomely ;iher costumes sre selected
and worn with sn artists instinct for
graceful drapirg and color, but are not
designed by Worth. Miss Cleveland
may be seen riding in her elegant car
risge, driven by colored servant, almost
any pleasant afternoon; she seems to
like colored servants. Miss Cleveland's
handwriting is very characteristic, rather
large, but sll save her personal letters
are given over 10 her secretary.
And lust here let me speak OF Miss
Cleveland's subtitle magnetism and ease
OF manner which enables her guests to
appear at their best without losing any
OF her ewp individuality.
