St. Paul daily globe. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1884-1896, 1891-12-27

She took one look, pulled the umbrella
down quickly, turned the carriage
around and fed in an opposite direction.
Mrs. Cleveland may be willing that
people should see her baby girl, but
she is not willing that her little high
ness should be photographed until she
is quite ready.
Of Course She Is a Pretty BABY.
Little Ruth Cleveland is a pretty
baby. She is plump, with fair skin
and pink cheeks. Her eyes are dark
blue, like Mrs. Cleveland,s, and she has
quite quantity of light brown hair.
She IS of happy temperament and
evidently likes attention, for she smiled
and shook her dimpIed hands at the la
dies who bent down to worship at her
shrine.
She is dressed very simply in little
white cloak and cap and does not wear
a veil Oh her trips abroad.
Propped up in the cushions of her
carriage she looks about her philosoph-
ically and views the scenery with a jul
dicial eye.
Mrs. Cleveland does not like coiors
for babies and so little Ruth's wicker
carriage has umbrella and blankets of
cream white. A little white woody robe
is tucked carefully over all.
The nurse is Staid, serious woman
OF thirty-fiye or forty and is clad in
black with white collar. cuffs and mus
lin apron. On her head in the street
she wears tiny black toque, as Mrs.
Cleveland does not Oblige her servants
to wear caps on the street unless they
choose.
Quiet Family Life.
Mrs. Cleveland likes Lakewood very
much and thinks the air will do won
ders for her and the baby.
Mr.. Cleveland is evidently enjoy
ing himself, too, for he has not
been up to the city since they migrated
down to Lakewood. There is a train
which leaves Lakewood every morning
at $50 and makes quick run up to
New York. This is done for the accom-
mediation of the men who live in Lake
wood and have their business in the
city. But Mr.. Cleveland has not yet
taken advantage of this train, although
little knot of curious people gather at
the station every morning hoping to see
him Oft. Mr.. Cleveland is letting bust
ness take care of itself while he cult
Yates the society of his wife and daugh-
ter down among the pine woods.
There is an unusual interest felt in
Mr.. Cleveland by the villagers and Soci-
ETY. people who are lOungiug around
OF the United States attracted consider
able attention. but Mr.. Cleveland as
father is far more interesting. People
are curious to see how he conducts him
self i'll this new role. They are anXi-
Ously awaiting his first public appear
ance with his daughter. Indeed. there
is rumor current that a certain well
known New York man staying at one of
the hotels has offered $50 for a picture
of Mr.. Cleveland with baby Ruth in his
arms.
EnterpriSing camera owners IN the
neighbOrhood are anXiously figuring on
schemes to capture this desirable photo
graph. But their game is shy and wary.
Yesterday morning he sauntered into
The Lakewood for few moments and
chatted with the clerk. There were very
few people in the Office at that time. and
those few, being women, did not recog
niZe him.
The syitchery of Name.
Mrs. Cleveland is much interested in
the local history of the neighbOrhOOd,
and was curious to know the origin of
the word CarasaljO. which is the mu-
steal name of the little lake down there.
1t was Meserve, the cOachman, who
told her the story, and Meserve, the dig
nified, the reticent, felt very much EN-
barrassed at having such hOmely tale
to explain that melting, SpanlSh-SOund-
ing name. He wished 1t were pictur-
eSque and romantic legend.
But it was only plain Jersey story of
a man who once owned all that tract of
land about Lakewood, including the
lake, which is scarcely more than a
gOod-siZed mill-pOnd. Some one sug-
gested to fine farmer one day that this
tiny sheet OF water should be dignified
by nice-sounding title.
The farmer aequieSeed and set his
wits at work to find a name. Three
children graced the old mans home and
kept his heart young. Three lovely
daughters, Carrie. Sallie and Josephine.
1t occurred to the Jerseyman to chris
ten the lake after them, and after some
severe mental exertion he arrived at
the name Cara-Sal-jo, a contraction of
all three names, and by this name the
lake has been called ever since. All
this amused Mrs. Cleveland very much.
for she has the delightful faculty OF
finding amusement and entertainment
in everything about her, no matter how
trivial.
She finds pleasure IN her drives
around the country, comfort from the
presence of her husband and happiness
in the thought that her bonny, blue
eyed baby girl is thriving, and | dare
say in the thought, also, that an admir-
ing and atfectiOnate nation prays tor
the happiness and welfare of little
Ruth Cleveland and her beautiful
mother.
