Mrs, Cleveland's Diamonds. Baltimore American: Mrs. Cleveland is developing a “‘fad”—a costly one,per- haps—but one full of common sense. it is nothing less than the collection of diamonds, set and upset. Through the love and gencrosity of her husband, Mrs. Cleveland is already the happy possessor of a rare outfit of diamond or- naments. Her wedding gift, her birth- day presents, and, indeed, on all ocea- sions when Mr. Cleveland desired to ive her a pleasant surprise the gifts have always b diamonds—neckla rings in profu . solitaire and other- wise, bracelets, pendants and brooche In a word, the jewel case of the pre dent's wife = holc o prit fortune in rare iamonds. the unmounted dinmonds Mrs. Cle nd’s own collecting. atrip to New York but she returns with some very pretty unsct stones. They are not very large, of course, and some are off color, it is true. She arranged them in little cabinets of inid wood. The cabinets are with tiny little nests, filled with cotton, and in them the diamonds rest. Each nest has its number, and a nest memor- andum hook tells, number, the time and place of purchase, and, practical woman that she is, the value of the stone. Mrs. Cleveland’s total collection of dinmonds, set and un- mounted, are estimated a8 being worth cortainly There is less “*fadd- ism nml caprice about such a collect- ing spirit than it scems.
