The Lady OF the White House.
washington Cor, New York World

w OOI.t new 1OIh W
The dinners at the White house
have been remarkably handsome this
season. The new steward, Mr.. Mil
Ter, a portly parsonage of aldermanie
proportions, seem TO be the right man
in the right place. 1t is curious to
know how very little trouble these
dinners are to their giVers. A list of
the guests is made out from the list of
those whom etiquette demands should
be invited at least once during the
season. The names are given to the
clerk who has charge of the invita-
tions, and he sees that those selected
are invited. Should any decline, 9th
ers must be invited in their places
The state dining-table seats thirty-siX,
and vacant chairs are inadmissible.-
When all the acceptances are receiv-
ed, the dividing of the guests into cou-
plies and the assigning of places at ta-
bic is done mainly by the clerk before
mentioned. It would be well if this
matter were entirely overlooked by
Mrs. Grant, for mistakes sometimes
occur for want of attention from some
one knowing all those invited. 1t is
great art, as ever dinner-giver
knows, to put the right persons to-
gether.
Mrs. Grant, however, attends to
very little herself. She never writes
note. When her husband was Gen
eral he wrote all her notes and an
swered those she received. Now that
he is President, one of the military sec
retaries attends to her correspondence.
With regard tc this and her wOfully
short memory, mamma had something
to say not long ago. Mrs. Grant had
some friends in the city to whom she
wished to give lunch party. She
concluded to do so only two or three
hours before the time appointed.
When she gave her orders to her
hOusekeeper about the lunch, she also
gave her to be written down, the
names of several ladies whom she
wished invited. Leaving this list
with the hOusekeeper, she began her
toilet, and, by the time it was finished,
had entirely forgotten to have the in
vitations prepared and sent. Nor did
she remember that she had not done
so until the time came at which she
expected her friends, and, not seeing
them, it occurred to her they were still
unlimited. Fortunately, most of them
were near neighbOrs, so it was still
possible to send for them. When the
ladies arrived she frankly explained
matters, and her aversion to writing
and her short memory were so well
understood, no Offense was taken.

Successful Mormon PrOSelytiSm In the
Eastern States.

While Congress is legislating for the
eradication of polygamy in far-Off
Utah, it would perhaps be well for our
lawmakers TO turn their attention to
the alarming strides the peculiar doe
trine is making even Oh Long Island.
In the neighborhOOd of Hempsted,
Baldwinsville and other places, the
people of Mormon procliyities are be-
coming aware that danger is at hand.
sc me having it that the prophets in
the ''valley of the mountains" have
had a revelation from the Most High,
warming them of coming trouble by
fire and sword, and consequently n
grand rally around the banner of the
Latter-day Saints is anticipated. An
elder of the flock in Williamsburg as
serts that the MormOns located on
Long Island are wealthy, and willing
to cooperate in the work.
Twenty of them have already rent
ed a meeting-hOuse in Baldwinsville,
where they hold forth three times a
day. At PatchOgue is located the nu-
cleOus of another branch; at Rock
vile another; and FreepOrt is at pres
ent the seat of a grand effort to estab-
lish still another. In Connecticut also
are number of missionaries, who be-
came MOrmOns some years ago, went
out to Utah, and on the call for labor
ers in the Eastern States, were chosen
to come among their friends and
preach to them. BostOn, and many
other principal towns in Massachus-
ettss, Maine, New jersey and Penn
sylvania, have been set apart as dis
tricts, which are now being worked.
1t is affirmed by the New York Times
that all these reports are verified by
the leading Mormon church dignita-
-ries now in the vicinity of that city

To Cure Cold Feet.

To keep the feet warm and dry is
indispensable to good health. No one
can be we'll long whose feet are habit
ually cold. We can never die by dis
ease as long Is the feet ARG warm
MANY ailments cause cold feet, and
cold feet originate severe and serious
maladies, so that in either case the
ability to secure warm feet i an i'm
pOrtant step toward health
Warm stockings and loose shoes are
indispensable; and not less SO is scru-
puIous cleanliness, SO that when the
feet are inclined to be cold we are in
the habit of advising that they be
washed every morning in COLI water,
winter and summer. This is the man
ner. Before dressing, dip them in
water of the temperature of the cham
Der, nearly ankle deep, both in at once,
for a minute in summer and . half
minute in winter, rubbing them rap
idly with the hands all the time
Next wipe dry, with a coarse towel,
wiping hard enough TO cause some
redness. and if practicable, dry them
with the hand until they feel perfect
ly dry and warm in every part, then
draw on the stockings, Once a week
at least st bedtime, the feet should be
soaked a quarter of an hour in hot
water, and then with soap and brush
scrub thoroughly; then an instanta-
neously dipping into a bucket Of cold
water, dry as above and then retire
No one can sleeep well with cold feet,
even in hot beds. Indians and hunt
ers are said to sleep we'll with their
feet to the fire. 1t should be an in
variable custom, at least during fire
time Of the yeat, to draw off shoes and
stockings the last thing before retiT-
ing, and hold the feet close to good
fire, rubbing them with the hands all
the time, especially at the heels ard
toes, which are the most difficult
parts to dry. This will be found TO be
an exceedingly comfortable operation,
and will amply repay for the trouble.
