Nora Harris, YVItn Iliroat 'be she the wife or relative chosen by the president to preside la the execu tlve mansion. Presidents personally unpopular have neen redeemed irom tne oaium oi mo people by the tactfulness and - agree ableness of the woman who dispensed the hospitality of the presidential home. After careful and having no constrained to women in the past have not oeen equaled py meir Buccour '," latter days. The genuine coraiamy and unhesitating manifestations of happiness In their position made them anxious to nut DeuDle at their ease and to show that they appreciated the -i h..TO.tin 'y severed from her body, Nora Harris personal observation t',h, lrt(.ntlf)fMi wiiiiani Cramer, a desire to criticise,. I am palner rM her aB8allan. and then sar that the fclorlousl ra,i ' ,,,, ,. nhviio im av win fact that their sojourn in the pres-lher dent's house tha nation's hostess. was ih the order of things necessarily brief. Absence of stiffness and undue armrrv in .hair retention nf nennle was much more in keeping with the republican principles that are sup nosed to tieVmeate all social as weU as political affairs. Demands on Wret Jiady. The population has Increased greatly and probably so many demands are now made upon the first lady of the land ttiat she cannot give time to each, as was possible for her prede cessors. As far back- as the days of Harriet Lane, when one desired to present riends at the White House to pay their respects, it was customary to write a note, asking the lady of the White House to name an hour when it would be convenient for her 10 receive mem. i nave never nuwu y of an Instance in the past when a re-1 ply was not sent immediately, aesig-i rating tne lime 11 wouia db- convoniom. 1 When the party arrived they found I the hostess awaiting them either In I Marvel of Dilley, W. R. Adlard of Al the blue or : . red room, according to I ville, Mrs. R. B. Myers and Miss Lulu the number and importance or tne 1 personages to be received. After a cordial welcome, if the party was not I too numerous, they were urged 10 db 1 seated. Few were Impolite enough to prolong their stay oeyona a tew mo ments, after which they rok their leave without being niads to feel that they were bores or that the host ess had condescended to confer upon them an Inestimable favor by receiV' log them. Afternoon Beoaptlons. The Saturday afternoon receptions from 3 to 6, held at the White House until a few years ago, were among the until a lew years ago, were among 1110 most delightful social functions in that stately Old mansion. The house was always beautifully decorated. The Ma- I rlne band occupied the east end of the corridor, while the callers, ladles and nii.inBii tonic their nlaces in line, ac- cording to the hour of their arrival, and marched across me wen ena ui ujo tur- rldor. through the red room, to be pre sented to the hostess, the entrance of the blue room, usually flanked by a bevy of bright women eho assisted in welcoming cordially all the callers who desired to pay meir re- county, one was tne motner or 18 chll spButa. The people wandered through dren, five of whom survive. They are the series of drawing rooms, out Charles Baxter, Henry Baxter, Rose through the conservatories, an enjoying the genuine noapiuiiiiy vaushuov w th.m T.lttle pleasantries were ex changed, delightful acquaintances were made which orten ripenea miu perma nent friendships, and not infrequently important political strokes were inno cently scored. Having frequently as sisted on these charming occasions, I know that the hostess enjoyed them as much as the guests. Mrs. Hares Diplomatic Mrs. Hayes was probably the most diplomatic and altogether charming mistress the White House has ever had. Her Incomparable simplicity and gra- ciousness of manner, fine intelligence and warm heart made her approachable by the numoiesi as wen ia mo mum pretentious. The dinners. Including the convention state dinners, which are subject to al many aaoitions 10 uie etigiuie ouw. list, were without exception superb af fairs, and were always cooked in the White House kitchen, caterers occasion ally furnishing some special course. The evening receptions from Grant to Harrifon surpassed in floral decorations larrlHOn surpadsea m uorai uwuiauum nd other appointments anything of re- 'lint jir. Muslcales with such artists as Nils son. Brignoli, Pattl. Parepa-Rosa and many other celebrated singers were de lightful. Kxoerlence has proven that the presi dent and his family, who are the sim plest In their way of living and roost unpretentious in tui rcHfwyvB no most beloved and the least criticised. If the president of the United States wniilil Insist noon "rendering unto Cae sar that which is Caesar's" there would be fewer heart burnings and personal grievances to be reconcuea. Sever Bepay Visits When It Is remembered that occupants of the White House have only to receive and never repay visits or! personally recognise courtesies extended to tnem, nri that unon secretaries, ushers and btewards rests all the responsibility of arranging and preparing all social runc tions directed by the president and the presiding mistress, the demands upon , the presiaeni ana ins rjfKRive. jnily are not ex- Tactful m-omen of the White House have endeared themselves to thousands by Utile attentions that cost them only a few minutes of their time, to order a card to be sent acknowledging calls they missed from persons too modest to ask an audience, a few cut flowers with the card of the first lady of the land to the wife of a new senator or representative or prominent visitors upon their arrival In Washington, have won for her undying admiration and friendship. Invitations to informal luncheons and family dinners 'are also valued beyond price and cost only thoughtfulness for persons who have Drobablv done much to elevate the president to the proud position h caslons of weddings or funerals or for bazaars and entertainments for charity call forth gratitude and tender regard for she who knows how to preside in the house of the nation's chieftain. Diligence Veoessary. Inefficient private secretaries are. re sponsible for the nonobservance of many of these important civilities. No secretary, man or woman, should retain his or her position 24 hours who is not vigilant and diplomatic enough to keep informed of everything the mistress of the White House should know and should do. At the first interview of each day between her ladyship and her secretay, the secretary should submit a written memoranda of everything as to the arrivals of important personages, mention of courtesies that have been extended, weddings and funerals to oc enr, and all sorts of notes that will con cisely acquaint the president and his family with current affairs. A few mo ments' dictation expressing their Wishes in eacll case, which can be quickly exe cuted by a competent person, snd the day's work Is done without the stupend ous effort on the part of anyone in terested. There are sore spots in the hearts of many people on account of the indifference of careless secretaries, who are responsible for seeming discourte sies from the White House. TALK TO TACOMA.
