THE WORLD OF SOCIETY
Mrs. Cleveland With the Winters Buds
About Her.
A Dinner to Celebrate a Kings Birth
day and n Party to Mark An
Other-Personal Notes.

The wonderful fascination and interest
which Mrs. Cleveland has always ,~erted
in the feminine mind and heart was never
more manifest than in watching hundreds
of her guests, who after being presented
fingered where they could face her. OF at
least catch a glimpse now and then of her
movements There are few women who
would have looked a s serenely handsome in
a simple house dress with the strong south
light in the background. and hundreds of
eager eyes watching the test. For the
greater number there may have been gor-
geous floral decorations. dainties. good to
eat and good to even admire. tuneful music
in the corridor. and the presence of inter-
esting young ladies as assistants but these
Incidental features were rather trfiing in
comparison with the main fact that will re-
main longest in their memories-that Mrs
Cleveland looked quite young and quite
as beautiful as ever. and that the simple
cordiafity Of manner which has been her
greatest charm remains the same. Col.
Wilson presented each lady to Mrs. Cieve-
land. The attaches of the house and the
policemen who shared with Col. Wilson and
Lieut.. Gilmore the distinction of being the
only members of their sex present had
the easiest duty of the season. All came
and went as they pleased. nobody ap-
peared to be in the way of anybody else.
and everything ran along with such per-
| feet smoothness that 1t only went to prove
once again that the gentle is not mis-
named. The favored young ladies who had
| the honor of assisting Mrs. Cleveland Were:
