reception on Saturday from 8 to 5. Several
hundred people, mostly women, stood in the

be given in that many women do not know
when they are in the presence of Mrs. Cleve-
land, and in the hurry and excitement and the
sudden cessation from being pushed hard from
behind, which they experience when going
through the blue parlor, they quite lose their
heads, forget the moving purpose that brought
them, and fetch up in the east room saying:

take they have made they are anxious to try it
over, and often do so with a success bought
of experience. Mrs. Cleveland wore a trained
gown Of green olive plush trimmed with lace and
passementerie; the bodice pointed in the back
and square in front, and a strand of gold beads
about her neck. Mrs Fuller, who stood next,

and vest of pink crepe, and a round hand bou-
quet of La France roses. Mrs. Folsom who

with an overdress of white brocade, the bodice
cut out in point and edged with bands of
otter fur, and the long panels that fell over
full skirt of plested brown faille, were edged
with fur. She held a round bouquet of Puritan
roses. Behind the lines were grouped a num-
