how those who thus speak Tor the presi-
dent happen to get their information.
But it has long been an open secret that
the president intends to give up poll
tics altogether when his present term
expires, and the reasons are likewise
known. Senator Hill Is partly acquaint-
ed with the reasons, for one, and these
reasons, it may be added, are OF pure
IL personal nature. Another man who
knows thoroughly why the president
does not wish any more of the cares of
office, after 1897, is Mr.. Whitney, and
still another is Mr.. Lamont.
First of all. there are family consid-
erations. Mrs. Cleveland will under
no circumstances consent to be the first
lady of the land when the present adj
ministration ends and she has arranged
that it shall end in 1897. Mr.. Cleve-
land and his wife have no family life
at fall Their children cannot be edu-
Gated under their eye. and very soon
they will be of an age when their edu-
cation must seriously begin. In the
next place Mr.. Cleveland finds the pres

is said that he sleeps on an average six
hours day, not because he is troubled
with insomnia, but because he has
work to do every day in the week. not
excepting Sundays. Again, Mr.. Cleve-
land is said to have some literary ambi-
tons. He would like to have celebrity
as a writer on'economic subjects. He
has already, it is said, made some be-
ginnings in that direction and has
planned a treatise on monetary science.
Everything, in short. prompts the pres
ident to give up political life.
Heretofore there have been sporadic
movements to put the president in the
way of another nomination. Now,
quite aside from any considerations
relative to third term, il is almost a
certainty that the president himself is
displeased by these doings. He doesn't
want to be president again, and what
ever skeptical individuals may think,
he will not be If he can prevent it, and
he thinks he can.

man or woman who gets the BOBBY
prize will not marry within the year,
but the first prize signifies that the
owner can take pick of all present.
1t is deal of trouble to prepare this
tree of fate, for the eggs must be
blown; then the fate, which is some
times good and sometimes funny. al
ways relating to luck in marriage,
love, ETC., is written on a small slip
of paper and put inside the egg. The
ends are then waxed over, and by
dainty loops Of narrow ribbon hung on
the tree. Very pretty stick pins,
chains, tiny charms ana studs can be
slipped in for the first prize; even

carefully afterward.

taken for granted that the prize must
be in the topmost egg, but more fire.
quently it is found in the one that hangs
the lowest, and the BOBBY in the highest.
Another entertainment for which
cards are already sent out is Valentine
cotillion. This word has greatly mysti-
fed the people invited, many thinking
it a dance. but it is only a series Of
amusing figures. each ending in short
waltz with a valentine. Such exercise
comes after the supper has left its good
humored effect on all invited TO the
cotillion, and never fails TO be most
happy ending of any informal gather
ing.

Mr.. Faure and the late William Astor
were on terms OF personal acquaintance,
and during the visit of Nj. Faure TO this
country not so many years ago, he was
e guest at reception at the house OF
the Astors. The vikings, who know
the Faures, do not think them OF much
account. This is because the Faures
have only come up from the soil within
a generation, and therefore are not
recognized by the vikings. the Rogers,
the Whites and other American families
long residents in Paris. This again Is
owing to desire on the part OF these
Americans not to compromise them
selves with the viei!le noblesse of the
Faubourg st. German, who look down
on mere Bots de Boulogne people ike
the Faures. Mrs. Astor Is singularly
free from this caddishness and is thus
remarkably popular IN Paris She, OF
course, viii live in q very retired way
in France Mrs Astor's health Is not
at present very robust. and II Is owing
to that circumstance that her departure
is made Her advent in Paris Is quite
social event in the American circle and
her influence with the Fsure family
will be useful TO women who care to
invade the Elysee- Hence she is likely
to be besieged By requests from anbi-
tious American girls who would like 20
get into the senatorial circle Most OF
these girls pretend to be in Paris as
devotees of art, but in reality they are
the idle daughters Of American families
who drift aimlessly from one city 70

r:tiaa- These students OF art and

pair are not accompanied by their par
ents, but have stopped at Egypt, where
they were, for at least a week. the bellies
of the American colony in Cairo. The
tour is interesting as marking a decided
departure from the exclusive nature of
the bringing rp of these young women.
When they return, and they viii be
back in time for the post-Lenten season
IN New York, the somewhat so1nber
brick mansion of John D. Rockefeller
will for the first time be thrown open
to society. It is the intention Of the
Rockefeliers to follow the example of
the Goulds and open the portals of the
plutocratic palaces with the never fail
ing golden key. This circumstance
will be source of surprise to the many
society people who have wondered why
should be so retiring.
Miss Alta, it seems, is the cause of
this radical alteration of the family
policy. Her mother is so strict that she
has dubious feelings respecting the pro-
priety of balls and Miss Alta Is one of
the few great heiresses who have never
attended such function. Hence the an
nouncement soon to be made that. the
Rockefellers will give grand ball must
cause considerable comment. The
family will even go IN for iveried foot
men and coachmen, and Mrs. Rookie
teller herself has planned series of
dinners for the spring season, the first
OF them to be given on the Saturday
following Easter. 1t is understood that
the Whitneys viii take the family I'M
der their protection, SO far as concerns
their social destinies. There seems to
be no doubt that the Rockefellers will
be very cordially received by society
generally.
