ThePresidaht will not move his family
back to the White House for several
weeks yet. The fall housekeeping at
tile White House has not been fairly
started yet, but II will be finished
probably long before MIR. and Mrs
Cleveland are ready to leave then
suburban home for the White House.
Tho official season here In "a will be
a very short one. Lent will begin on
February Z, making the gay season
only about five weeks long. The state
dinners and levees at tho White House
will therefore necessarily be very close
together, and those who do not occupy
official positions will not have much
opportunity to do any great am oun
OF entertaining.
Private entertainments will in ali
likelihood for this reason begin in DO
cember, and the many debutantes eS
pected during the coming winter will
probably make their bows before
Christmas at late afternoon teas. The
large number Of family bereavement
in this will prevent many housewarm
tDgs that have been looked forward
