Mrs. Cleveland and Her Little Girls,

A close friend of Mrs. Cleve-
lands tells this story of her in
an anecdotal biography Of the
former mistress of the White
House in the June Ladies Home
Journal: Mrs. Cleveland used
to be somewhat sensitive over
the general regret so freely ex-
pressed before the birth of her
last child that there was no boy
in the family. 1t seemed to her
to imply a lack ofappreeiation OF
her three little girls. A friend,
visited the White House one
day, and when the children
were brought in she exclaimed,
What a pity they are all girlsl
"Qulck as a flash Mrs. Cleve
land knelt, put her arms about
the children and retorted: That
shows that you do not know
how nice little girls are.
