Mrs. CLEVELAND shuns publicity as
much as possible in New York, but she
is still an object of general curiosity.
She was nearly smothered by crowd
of eager women when she paused a
moment in the foyer after the opera
one night recently. An observer noted
then that she looked lovely, but was
hardly as fashionably dressed as the
average fashionable woman. When
asked to dinner and to meet few per-
sons in the evening Mrs. Cleveland ex-
cused herself on the plea of her hus-
bands absence. She said, among other
things, that Mr.. Cleveland was anxious
to avoid society, and added, smilingly,
that she suspected him of hiding inv@-
tations under books and magazines.
