TIIC Cn.NTItt: OP ATT11ACTI0X.
Mrs. Cleveland was naturnlly tho
centre of attraction, aud nfler tho
guests had shaken hands with her and
been honored with tho graceful bow
thnt accompanied each salutation, few
thought of thu courtesy duo tho Indies
of the Cabinet who stood bcslda tho
first lady in tho land. There was n ro
uewnl of the complimentary allusions
mndo n fow nights ago by society
leaders as to tho President's cholco of
n wlfo, and especially was this truo of
tho women present. Thoy seemed
never to tiro gnlng nt tho beautiful
representative of their sex who did tho
honors so nnturnlly as nn nsslstnnt to
tho President, and they seemed per
fectly fascinated by her charming man
ner nud nppenrnncc. Ono lady, after
stnndlng opposite tho receiving party
Intently studying Mrs. Cleveland,
turned to n companion nnd said: "Did
you ever seo a woman boforo that com
bined so many lovely and womanly at
tributes? Bho Is In every way fitted to
bo n ruler's wife." And this was tho
public opinion expressed last night.
thus putting tbo seal of approval upon
society's recommendation of ft few
evenings ago. As sho Btood arrayed
In her wedding dress and receiving tho
homago duo her exalted rank nad sta

Blighted, and if, through accident,
man, woman or child passed without
shaking hands, Mrs. Clovoland quickly
recalled tho unfortunato ntul completed
her duty. It was feared that tho strain
of two largo receptions in ono week
would prove too much for tho Presi
dent's wife, but sbo seemed desirous of
Imitating tho example sot hsr by her
husbnnd, and endured tho arduous task
until tho Inst cnller had been sent away
happy, which wns accomplished ft fow
minutes prior to midnight.

It was In tvery respect a popular
ovation nud tho President nud Mrs.
Cleveland aro nearer and dearer to tho
peoplo after last night than evor be

ning manners of tho President's brldo
will be tho topic of conversation In
thousands of homes all over tho coun

.tended the reception, for It was do-
llghtfully cool nil tho evening, nnd tho
ndmlrablo manner, with whloh tho
crowd was moved prevented nny dis

ago done was tho soiling of tho right
