! for the new babys first trips out of
doors One of these had four tiny mink
heads upon it and the other is of white
ermine
All of these things had been designed
| by Mrs. Cleveland in pretty morning
| own private use in the white house. The
morning room opens out of the Fresi-
dents upstairs library. 1t is the room
which the Harrisons used for general
| sitting room. But now it is Mrs Cleve-
land S own private domain.
There is a beautiful upwright piano in
| the morning room and a rosewood desk

| Mrs. Cleveland's sewing basket is a very
! fine affair. 1t is really box. 1T is made
| of tiny sieces of wood, inlaid with mother
| of pearl and was the gift from a wife of
foreign ambassador.
In this lovely morning room, with its
| broad, sunshiny windows, Mrs Cleve-
| land sits and works as industriously as
| though she were obliged to do do every
stitch of sewing with her own needle,
when, if she were but to say the word,
| the fingers of thirty million loyal Ameri-
| can women would be placed at her dis
| posal and she would have but to speak to
| make their finest handiwork her own
| possession.
| Every mail and every express delivery
| for the last week has brought something
which is manifestly meant for the new
| baby. There have come baby carriages
| by the dozen-almost as many as Ruth
|
| jumpers, until their profusion would have
| been laughable, mad not each gift shown
| that the giver had the kindliest Of wishes
| toward the Cleveland household.
| During the long days of spring, Mrs
| Clevelands favorite pickup work has
been silk cloak, which the baby is to
| wear next summer. The design is a sim
| pie one of fieur de lis, which are outlined
with gold cord. In the feur de lis cloak,
with cap to match, and pink boa, Baby
| Cleveland will be fine enough to please
the heart of the most exacting democrat.
Mrs. Cleveland has always surrounded
| herself with an air of mystery. She
claims that as a free born American wo-
man she has a right TO privacy in her own
| home. She has declined to have it I'M
| pleasantly invaded, or to have herself
and her children made the subject of
comment, either hippant or familiar No
| one, on second thought, can criticise her
for preferring to enjoy her children and
| her husband alone while she has her little
| family circle intact, nor for being timid
about inviting the public to inspect hel
| domestic life.
But it is pleasant to take advantage OF
the glimpses which are occasionally giver
! into the Cleveland home so that all may
see and know what charmingly domes

! tive of the United States.
