Il was stated at ths time by those VINO

has never, 60 far as the public has heaFc'
bssn denied, that Mira. Cleveland was very
t,esirous of visiting Richmond upon the

Davis would be there. For the reputation
OF Richmond, tbs capital OF the short lived
but ever 2 orious Confederacy, 1t is hoped
that the reported isiiuse TO invite MISE
Davis sud her mother to the coming ball
was rot Intentional. Other omissions from
the list of invited guests would have been IN
better form and purer fashion; hers, II 10
