good many-are turned back at the ho-

Cleveland reasonably patient under the

Lakewood itself is an interesting
place, which was rapidly coming into
favor with New Workers like ex-Mayor
Hewitt and Park Commissioner Straus
before Mr.. Cleveland took IL up. II was
an iron manufacturing village, where
a man named Brick had works He
had twenty-five thousand acres Of Jer-
sey pine barrens and died poor, as
might have been expected. His family
had the unspeakable folly to suppose
that winter resort named ''Bricksburg"
could be a success. They had the idea,
and in 1880 some New York men bought
out the property and supplied the name,
and things began TO look up. The Jer-
sey Central built the finest small station
in the state; the land company spent
host of dollars in cutting roads through
the woods. The lake is n narrow strip

Thousands of acres lie toward Southard

Yet the house is not quite without
connection with the outside world Day

wood nowadays is just TO the edge of
the little clearing. And, in case of need,

Lakewood itself hasn't recently seen

with its three other big hotels hasn't.
All the politicians hang around the
Lakewood hotel, and the village drug
store man, who has imported two big
pine buds from Delaware to give his
shop the true Lakewood flavor, be-
means the fact. This month will be
very different. The cottage life of the
place will soon be at its height. The
Freemans have n magnificent house set

nomenclature.
The special claim that Lakewood
makes upon the attention of Mr.. Cleve-

wood people bother them in any way.
Mr.. Cleveland comes down from New
York on the Lakewood special, getting
In just at dusk. The idlers at the
station are no more numerous than at
any country village Sometimes the
pretty pair of bays is waiting for him
sometimes he walks up the three
quarters of a mile of slush with q
sturdy stride. A modest retinue of
servants sleep mainly in a small build
ing back OF the house.
Everybody is interested in Baby
Ruth. She is now a year and half
old, sturdy, ruddy checked and well de-
veloped. Lakewood people have seen
her SO often that there Is no particular
mystery about her. Sometimes she
accompanies Mrs. Cleveland on a drive
behind the nodding red plumes of the
Russian sleigh. Her own particular
favorite is an ordinary childs sled with
baby carriage box without hood set
on top.
When i passed the house once she
was bowling in lusty American fashion.
But she almost never cries." said
lady to whom / remarlSedit This lady
has been at the old Laurel house-the
one in the heart of the village and
nearest the station-when Mrs. Cleve
land was there before going to the cot
tage and when every woman in the
place fell down and worshiped the
child from a discreet distance.
Saturday evening Lakewood was in
festive mood. For the first time this
season Mrs. Cleveland attended a pub
lie function" the occasion being the
ball given by the cottagers. She was
very quiet, did not dance and seemed TO
enjoy the fun as much as anyone pres
ent, but left at an early hour. She also
dropped In at the free singing class,
which is being instructed under the
auspices of the Freemans and others.
OF the visiting statesmen little Is seen
in town. Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Lamont
are best known in the place. Lake
wood knows no more about the cabinet
than is printed in the papers, but every
statesman who shows up is in turn re-
garded as a certainty for cabinet hon
ors. Harrity and Hensel were puzzle.
Both couldn't be SLATED, and so Lake
wood pitched npon Mr.. Harrity as
possible appointee. Such a nuisance
did the visiting statesmen become final
