THE LADY OF THE WHITE

Reception at the Stately Old

'be she the wife or relative chosen by
the president to preside la the execu

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 unhesitating manifestations of
happiness In their position made them
anxious to nut DeuDle at their ease
and to show that they appreciated the

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

ply was not sent immediately, aesig-i

When the party arrived they found I

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.

San Francisco, Dec. 12. "I believe

and I thought the police ought to know
It, as It might give thetn clue to wprk
on. "1 1 " . "- , -
That was the statement made by Er
nest Webb as the reason why he had
appeared and iden.inod John Walter
Wilson as the man who had asked him
a few months ago to buy 68 cents'
worth of strychnine for him.
Handwriting Expert Kytka has made
a targa numoer 01 pnoiograpnio enlarge
menta of all. the writing of Wlison In
his possession and also of ths letter re
ceived by Henry Boas that contained
the poison, and points oat striking sim
ilarities In the two writings' outside of
actual resemblance ths writings bear
to each other. The errors in spelling
stand out prominently and In the fatal
letter and also throughout Wilson's
correspondence the word "already" is
spelled "allready" and "until" Is spelled
