All look forward to the return OF Mrs.
Cleveland on the 9TH of March She is
universally popular with all classes Of
people in Washington city. She is
young, handsome, social and altogether
charming. Her chief virtue, however,
consists in her perfect good sense and
exquisite tact. Mrs. Cleveland does
not allow her elevated station to per.
vert her natural good manners and
good temper. This seems to DO the
whole secret Of her immense social
popularity.
