so much has been written about I.incoln's
private life and personal habits, that It
seems unnecessary now to add more than
word. He was simple lin all his tastes
liked old songs and old poetry He was
always neatly, but not finicallv dressed.
He disliked gloves, and once | saw him ex-
tract seven or eight pairs OF gloves from an
overcoat pocket, where they had accnmu-
lated after having been furnished him by
Mrs. Lincoln. Usually. he drank tea and
coffee at the table. but he preferred milk,
or cold water. Wine was never on the
table at the White House. except when Wis
itors. other than familiar friends. were pres
ent. The Presidents glass was always
iilled, and he usually touched it TO his lips.
sometimes he drank few swallows, but
never a whole glass, probably. He was
cordial and affable, and his simple hearted
manners made strong impression upon
those who met him for the first time. |

EVENINGS AT THE WHITE HousE-The
President and family receive informally in
the evening. sometimes in the Red Room
and sometimes In the Library. These
visits, however, are only made by intimate
personal friends, or by those warranted
through their acqualD tance to call in So
cial manner. The evenings in the Library
are very charming. Brilliant and cuti-
waited men and women gather in little knots
In different parts OF the spacious and cheer
ful apartment, and wit sparkles and anec-
dote enlivens conversation. The President
frequently disappears; he has 4 private Ii
brary, where he retires when any gentle
man present wishes TO speak with him on
matters Of policy or politics; but he soon
returns To all appearances as unruftled as
if'thc great sea OF public opinion had set
tied Into perfect calm. Mrs. HAYES en-
tertalns her visitors 10 an easy, courteous.
cordial manner. moving among them with
stately grace, and scattering pleasant
words. Great geBtlencss and sweetness
pervale the whole domestic life of the Pres
dents family. Little Fannie, the only
daughter, bright child of nine years, the
pet and favorite Of all who know her. is
never visible at dinner or to evening visi-
tors. II am Obliged to compromise with
my little lady" remarked Mrs. Hayes. with
smile, ''as found her growing old too
fast for her years, we serve her dinner in
her room, which she esteems high com
pliment." The private dining-room of the
Presidents family is the only one of their
private apartments which is on the great
main floor OF the White House. The meals
are breakfast, lunch. and dinner, instead Of
breakfast, dinner, and tea, as in the time OF
Madison. No unusual forms and ceremon-
les are observed in the service turther than
