MRS. CLLVELAND AT HER DESK IN HER OWN ROOM IN THE PRINCETON HOME THE ANECDOTAL SIDE OF MRS. CLEVELAND A Series of Stories and Anecdotes of Mrs. Cleveland Contributed to The Ladies' Home Journal by Her Most Intimate Friends With the First Photographs of Mrs. Cleveland Taken Since She Left the White House, and Here Published for the First Time " MY PEOPLE ARE ALIKE TO ME " ONE morning Mrs. Cleveland showed in a striking way her complete freedom from snobbishness, and her sympathy with the people whose names are not on the social register of any city, and who are usually spoken of by the "elect" as the "masses."' At public receptions, as at all of the large evening functions at the Executive .Mansion, the mistress of the White House is assisted by the wife of the Vice-President and the ladies of the Cabinet circle. On the morning before one of these pub lic receptions several of the Cabinet ladies were having a discussion about the gowns to be worn. Mrs. Cleveland did not take part in the discussion until one woman made the remark: "Oh, any of our old gowns will do for to-night ! It is only a public reception." For the first time in the experience of those who were present Mrs. Cleveland showed some anger. "On the contrary," she said, "we must wear our richest and most THE VIEW EROM MRS. CLEVELAND'S ROOM becoming gowns. It will mean more to the people who IN THE REAR OF HER PRINCETON HOME will be here to-night than it did to those who were present at the card reception. The society people may have come to see each other, and to show their own gowns, but our guests to-night will come for a very different reason. I want them to be satisfied with what they have come to see, and to feel that I consider their presence here an honor to me and to us all."

Verri flew to the angry old rock and kissed it. "Let us be friends, dear rock," she said, "since we netds must live together, at least a little while. We will be good and quiet, and not disturb you any more than we can possibly help." The kiss astonished the hard old rock, and he felt that perhaps there was no need to be quite so hard to so soft a little stranger. Then all his little visitors kissed him with their moist lips, and touched his rough cheek with their cool, wet fingers. Presently, when they thought of all their relatives now sporting on the sunny water, their warm tears fell, one by one, on the old rock's hard heart. After this he could no longer resist the gentleness of his loving little prisoners. Day by day they kissed him so gently, yet persistently and at the same time so lovingly, that, little by little, his great, firm wall relaxed.

YES, day by day the old rock's wall, which had stub bornly and with absolute defiance withstood the most severe of earthquakes, the thunder of Heaven and the beating of the angry sea for fully a thousand years, grew a little less firm and unyielding under the constant caresses of the Elainchens' moist hands. One day the Elaines pressed their hands very firmly against the rock. They kissed him on the brow, and implored him with tears to let them out. His heart smote him with fierce pain that he had so distressed such sweet creatures for so long a time. Lo ! the rock opened, and a tiny ray of God's own sunlight fell upon his sore heart. "How warm, how beautiful !" said the rock, and he earnestly thanked the little creatures whose gentle, sweet persistence had conquered him and given him the only SO SHE TOOK THE BAD joy that he had ever known.

THE WORK OF THE WILLAGE SOCIETY IT WOULD require too much space to report the discussions which proved very educa tive to the people of the village. As a result several excellent suggestions were carried out. In the first place, circulars were pre pared setting forth the intentions of the Village Protective Society. They were neatly prepared, and could be easily slipped into ordinary letters without adding to the post age. These were abundantly distributed, and it was urged that in the correspondence regarding summer board these circulars | THE SUMMER BOARDER IN THE WALLEY_ should always be used.
