GRANT'S QUIET LIFE. A New Task for Pretty Hands—La- dies Who “Parry and Thrust'— Ellen Terry's Tale Belle's Letter, Clara NEW YOonrk, March 28.—[Correspond- ence of the BEr.]—Shall we have atrip- let of president’s wives in Washington next summer? M Francis Cleveland will be there of course, except when hot weather drives her away. The second queen-by-courtesy of a republie will be Madame I of Mexico, who is to start on u tour of this country in May, coming loisurly across the continent from San Francisco, to arrive in New York in July. She will spend some time in Saratoga, Newport and Long Branch, and it is fair to presume that she will £0 to Washington to pay her respects to Mprs. Cleveland. The third member of the trio is Madame Carnot, wife of the present president of the French vepub- lic. With her lies the only unc inty as to the interesting meeting, 1 a in the Paris Pigaro that contem- plates an ocenn voyage in some tion or other next summer, and that her inclination is to the At- lantic, but South Ameriea appears tobe in her mind. However, it would seem strange to give that comparatively uninteresting continent preference over our own, and If she sails westward, as she is qualificdly announced to do early in the summer, may we not count confi- dently on her mecting Mrs, Cleveland and Madame Diaz in Washington? In thut case somebody might get up a per sonally dirceted tour for the South American presidentesses, so that we could assemble a wondrous party of these peculiarly distinguished ladies, The only competitor with our own Mus, Clevelund for prominence in such a gathering would be Madame Carnot She is the soul of gracious dignity, brilliant in conversation, anda magnifi- cent dresser handsome womang but M vantage of youthfulness and a S0 we nead she direc- cross various and a ter b gres roe of beauty. 10t shy aboutit.
