the children of Mr.. Grover Cleveland
all bear marked resemblance to him.
self 1t Is further noteworthy that moth
pride Of the President than the pleasure
he feels In any allusion to this circuTn-
stance: Miss Marion is more like her fa-
ther than any of the others. She en-
crosses all her mothers time, and the
lady Of the white house will be very lit
tie In evidence, socially this winter, in
consequence. 1t Is no secret that the
President rather regrets that he has no
son, and Mrs Cleveland was rather dis
appointed by the sex Of her last child.
II is a popularity OF Mrs. Cleveland's
that she Will not allow a nurse to dress
her little ones, but performs that office
herself. This Is certainly one of the
fondest mothers in America and her do
nestle tastes cause the social side of
this adminstra ton TO be less brilliant
than 1t might. Mrs. Cleveland has so far
resolutely refused to endorse the new
woman In any way, Notwithstanding
many attempts TO induce her to do so.
The refusal of the Presidents wife to
have anything TO do with the new wo-
man has caused much annoyance to va
rious coteries in New York. 1t seems that
Sorosis has endeavored to get some official
recognition from the first lady in the land,
but without success. This is responsible
for a certain degree of GOODNESS in the ex-
preston Of certain New York ladies when
Mrs. Cleveland Is mentioned. But be-
tween Mrs. Cleveland and Helen Gould
very warm friendship exists. This is due
to the interest in kindergarten work
shared between them. Miss Gould, II APP
pears, first became intimate with Mrs.
Cleveland through Mrs. Russell Sage, and
their mutual esteem has grown ever since.
Now Miss Gould has an especial horror
Of women who write eccentric novels. She
expressed herself thus on more than one
occasion, saying indeed that blood and
thunder and women seem to go together
nowadays. But women who are conspic-
uous In the new woman movement are, in
most cases, writers, and they were Offend
ed by Miss Gould 3 utterance. Her friend
ship for Mrs. Cleveland diverted some
what of this enmity to the latter lady.
Mr.. Perry Belmont has now become
the leader of fashion so far as men are
concerned in the metropolis. His clothes
are faithfully copied and his mannerisms
are models upon which the gay youth Of
the city model themselves. The fact that
ne patronizes certain restaurant brings
crowds to IL at meal time, solely for me
purpose Of gazing upon the Beau Brum-
mel OF the hour. In this respect Mr.. Bel
mont Is unique. As for politics, his hand
Is seen in every deal and intrigue. One
OF the most interesting sources OF spec
ulation to those who watch him Is his
future. His ambition is boundless. Should
he become governor, the presidency would
be the logical sequel He is quite young
yet, and therefore he can afford to wait
for the next century before the chief
magistracy of the nation comes to him. His
thorough agreement with Hill and Tam
many in no sense depriVes him Of the
support Of that element known as better.
His amiabie capacity for facing both ways
has stood him in good stead more than
once. He is the only American living who
IS social as well as a political boss. lie
does well in both fields.
The arrival Of the Shahzarda in New
York Is awaited with eager interest by
all classes. 1t is asserted that he pro-
poses to spend no less than a million
dollars in the metropolis. The young
prince viii disport himself in pretty much
the fashion that won him such unique
fame in London. He win be toted through
the streets in a palanquin by two At
ghans in knickerbOckers. He viii appear
in public on any and every occasion and
address the mob in Persian fashion. His
