mony. To the club dinners ordered,
cooked and served by every member Of

mer time, when the absence of his
family gives him the excuse for dining

to provide ladies' dining room, and
the really loving husband and father
likes especially to indulge his wife and
daughters in the dissipation of dinner
at the club.
Mrs. Cleveland's return to the
white house reminds woman of @
funny speech she overheard four years
ago. 1t was day or two after the
election. Two men came out of u sa.

marked one dolefully, Mrs. Cleveland
says she won't leave" There was nc

household effects in old quarters of thu
